According to Xinhua News Agency, Li Rensong, a native of Mianyang, Sichuan province, left his pregnant wife shortly after their marriage in early 1953 to join the Korean War at the age of 23. On July 8, 1953, while on duty in the war, Li was hit by a bomb and died.
Li Renqing, 78, the younger brother of Li Rensong, recently learned the news that his brother’s identity had been confirmed. He still remembered when his brother left home to join the army. He couldn’t help but have tears well up in his eyes when sharing his brother’s story.
Likewise, Li Yangui, the younger brother of Li Yanxue, told China Central Television that his family learned that Li died just over 10 days before the ceasefire agreement was reached. Now that his brother’s identity was confirmed, the 85-year-old man said he would go to Shenyang when spring arrives to see his brother.
