这是一场始于三八线的战争。1950年6月25日，朝鲜战争爆发。两天后，美国政府宣布出兵朝鲜，实行武装干涉，并派遣海军第七舰队侵入中国台湾海峡。7月7日，美国操控联合国安理会通过决议，成立以美国为首的“联合国军”，战场兵力最多时超过30万人。10月7日，侵朝美军越过三八线，大举北犯，向中朝边境进逼。10月19日，第一批中国人民志愿军跨过鸭绿江，与朝鲜人民军并肩作战。

It started at the 38th parallel north. On June 25, 1950, the Korean War broke out between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Within two days, the U.S. government ordered troops to invade the DPRK and sent its Seventh Fleet into China's Taiwan Straits. On July 7, the United States manipulated the United Nations (UN) Security Council to adopt a resolution on dispatching a UN force that it led to the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. ignored China's warning and sent its army pouring across the line on October 7 and pressing on towards the Sino-Korean border. On October 19, the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) crossed the Yalu River to fight together with the DPRK army. 

1950年10月25日，中国人民志愿军打响了抗美援朝出国作战的第一场战役。中国人民志愿军先后有290万人次赴朝作战。在两年零九个月的浴血奋战中，共有197653名烈士埋骨他乡。他们当中，有用胸膛堵机枪的黄继光、引爆炸药与敌人同归于尽的杨根思，还有烈火焚身岿然不动的邱少云……

On October 25, 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) army launched its first battle in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. To protect their motherland, a total of 2.9 million CPV soldiers entered the battlefield and 197,653 sacrificed their lives, according to the latest data. Seventy years on, we still remember how cruel that war was and will never forget the history and sacrifice of the martyrs.










为纪念中国人民志愿军抗美援朝出国作战70周年，中共中央、国务院、中央军委向参加抗美援朝出国作战的、健在的志愿军老战士老同志等颁发"中国人民志愿军抗美援朝出国作战70周年"纪念章。

Chinese People's Volunteers army veterans who fought in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) have been granted memorial medals as China marks the 70th anniversary of the CPV army entering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to join the war.
