Seventy-two years ago today, on July 27, 1953 (June 17, 1953), the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed at Panmunjom. Peng Dehuai signed the agreement. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed at Panmunjom. General Namri, the chief representative of the DPRK and China, and Lieutenant General Harrison, the chief representative of the US, attended the signing ceremony held at Panmunjom and signed the agreement. On the 28th, Kim Il Sung Won Division and General Clark, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, signed the agreement respectively. On the 28th, Peng Dehuai, the commander of the Volunteer Army, signed the agreement. On the 29th, the warring sides exchanged the armistice agreement signed by the commanders of the two sides. The agreement continues 38 degrees north as the military demarcation line between North and South Korea, and the Israeli side retreats 2 kilometers from this line to establish a demilitarized zone. The signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement marked a great victory in the three-year Korean War for the Liberation of the Fatherland. In July 1950, the United States misappropriated the flag of the United Nations to launch a war of aggression against Korea, and the Korean People's Army rose up under the leadership of Kim Il-sung. In September, the US army landed in Incheon, Korea, and then brazenly committed North Korean crimes, which seriously threatened the security of the People's Republic of China. In order to resist the US and assist Korea and defend their homeland, the Chinese people sent the Chinese People's Volunteers to fight side by side with the Korean People's Army on October 25, 1950. By late May 1951, the Chinese and North Korean troops had conducted five consecutive campaigns together, annihilating the enemy 230,000, driving the enemy back from the Yalu River to the vicinity of the 38th Parallel, forcing them to shift from strategic offense to strategic defense. On June 30, 1951, the United States was forced to accept the Soviet Union's resolution on a peaceful settlement of the Korean issue, calling for negotiations with the DPRK and China. The commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Army, Kim Il-sung, and the commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, Peng Dehuai, jointly signed a reply to the then commander of the United Nations, Li Qiwei, expressing their agreement to negotiate. The negotiations were held in Kaesong on July 15, 1951, and later changed to Panmunjom. By the time the Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, the negotiations lasted 2 years and 17 days. The negotiations were on and off, and the whole process was intertwined with fierce struggles that interacted between the battlefield and the negotiating venue. The United States has always reported an attitude of unwillingness to negotiate on an equal footing. Whenever the goal cannot be achieved at the negotiating table, it engages in military adventures on the battlefield, launching the "Summer Offensive", "Autumn Offensive", and even using bacteriological weapons. In October 1952, the United States unilaterally interrupted the negotiations and launched a large-scale attack on the Shangganling position, but it ended in a miserable failure. When the negotiations were close to reaching an agreement, the United States sabotaged and delayed the issue of prisoners of war, engaging in so-called "voluntary repatriation". On March 30, 1953, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai proposed a new proposal to repatriate prisoners of war, which was widely supported by countries around the world, and officially resumed the negotiations that had been suspended for six months. At 10 am on July 27, 1953, the DPRK, China and the United States signed the Korean Armistice Agreement at Panmunjom. From 10 pm on July 27, all hostilities ceased completely. From June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, the DPRK and Chinese forces killed and wounded a total of 1093,839 enemy troops, including more than 390,000 US troops. They shot down, wounded and captured 12,224 enemy aircraft, destroyed, wounded and captured 3,064 enemy tanks, and sank and wounded 257 enemy ships. The Chinese People's Volunteers took turns participating in the war 1.30 million people. General Namil, the chief representative of the DPRK and China, and Lieutenant General Harry Harrison, the chief representative of the US for negotiations, officially signed the Korean Armistice Agreement at Panmunjom. American planes finally dropped off the barrels of aviation fuel that had been discarded by the U.S. Marines as they waited behind barbed wire for the war to end.
