✈️ On September 10, a Y-20 military transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force departed from an airport in central China for its 12th repatriation mission to the Republic of Korea. The goal? To bring back the remains of Chinese People's Volunteers martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the Korean War.
This operation is more than just a flight—it’s a solemn tribute to heroes whose stories still inspire today. The Y-20, one of China’s most advanced transport jets, showcases cutting-edge aerospace tech and the unwavering commitment to leave no one behind.
Why it matters: For families and communities, these missions bring closure and honor the memories of those who served. Each repatriated hero gets a respectful homecoming in line with cultural traditions that value ancestor respect and collective remembrance.
Looking ahead, this 12th mission highlights ongoing collaboration between the Chinese mainland and the Republic of Korea on historical and humanitarian efforts. It’s a reminder of how technology and diplomacy can join forces to heal long-standing wounds.
Stay tuned for more updates on how these missions unfold—and how you can show respect for history in your own way. Whether it’s a moment of silence, a visit to a memorial, or sharing a story online, every gesture counts. 🙏
