| This photo taken on Oct 20 shows the monument of ten martyrs who died after being buried in a sudden landslide, while cleaning mudslides on Layue Mountain along 318 State Highway, or the South Line of Sichuan-Tibet Highway, on Aug 29, 1967. The then central government branded the soldiers "ten heroes along Sichuan-Tibet Highway" on Feb 20, 1969. The ten soldiers were from a transportation regiment to transport military material to Tibet. [Photo by Ma Danning/ chinadaily.com.cn] |
