At this very moment,
on the Kinmen battlefield
hundreds of sea miles away,
our soldiers
are fighting bravely for the future
of our country and people.
My heart is filled with respect for them.
I know,
whether they live or die,
their struggle
is meaningful!
So, here,
as a soldier,
I salute them.
On October 24, 1949,
Unit One of the PLA's 10th Corps
was ordered to launch the Kinmen campaign.
The advance forces
of more than three regiments
landed on Kinmen beaches
and secured their positions.
Later, their landing vessels
were destroyed;
reinforcements couldn't reach them;
and the enemy reinforcements arrived.
The landing units clashed with vastly
superior enemy forces for days and nights
but were defeated when they
ran out of ammunition and supplies.
