“The Most Beloved”--- a delegation from the Chinese People's Volunteers attended the parade, adding a special meaning to it. In the Korean battlefield, the Chinese People's Volunteers fought courageously side by side with the Korean People's Army to crush the US invasion troops. In July 1953, the US-led United Nations Command was forced to sign an agreement with the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army and the Commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, realizing a military armistice in Korea. This meant that the Chinese People's Volunteers achieved a major victory in the war to resist the U.S. invasion and aid Korea. The Chinese People's Volunteers, with their brave and tough spirit, won the respect of people all over the world and were called “The Most Beloved” by the Chinese people.
In the National Day military parade of 1953, a delegation of the Chinese People's Volunteers was invited to attend the parade, and they stood on the Tiananmen review stand together with the Party and state leaders to inspect the people's armed forces who were striding towards modernization. This was the most courteous reception that China could have possibly given to the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the delegation’s attendance made the Chinese people proud and joyful at defeating the world’s number one power.
