The Chinese People's Volunteers fought alongside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea army in the Korean War between 1950 and 1953. More than 200,000 CPV soldiers were killed in the war.

Some of the Chinese dead were buried at Puju Cemetery in the Republic of Korea's Gyeonggi province. China and the Republic of Korea reached an agreement to excavate the remains in 2013.
