Narrator: Sheng Renyong, male, 93 years old, is a machine gunner from the 2nd Battalion and 6th Company of the 220th Regiment of the 74th Division of the 24th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. He went to North Korea to participate in the war in August 1951. In 1950, I was still a 20-year-old young man.

In August 1951, my unit, the 74th Division of the 25th Army, was transferred to the 24th Army in September 1952. After completing various adaptability training such as reorganization, changing of equipment, and entering North Korea for combat, they gathered from Jinjiang, Fujian to Shangrao, Jiangxi, and then entered the Northeast Ji'an area
