In 2019, with the help of DNA technology, China successfully identified six of the unknown martyrs and found their families.

"The great spirit of CPV soldiers is the precious wealth of the Chinese people. Heroes will never die but always live in the hearts of the motherland and the people," said Liu Kai, son of CPV martyr Liu Tianzeng.

"We have to remember the war in order to safeguard peace and tell the world that a people, daring to rise up and fight for the glory, independence and security of its motherland, is invincible," said Zou Jiliang, a CPV veteran.
