The ninth batch of martyr's remains will be identified by DNA

Since 2014, my country has completed the remains of the Chinese People's Volunteer Martyrs' remains for nine consecutive years. At present, 10 martyrs have been confirmed and found their relatives. After many years of work experience, the staff has formed a set of effective practices to realize the name of martyrs' names as soon as possible.

The first way to confirm the identity of the martyrs was to analyze and study through the items with the identity information of the martyrs, and combined with historical materials to finally determine the identity of the martyrs.

Li Zhongshui, Director of the Martyrs' Rites Search and Appraisal Center of Retired Military Affairs: For example, it is one of the most direct and highly successful appraisal methods, but this situation only accounts for a few.

Secondly, through information such as the sacrifice of martyrs and the excavation of the remains, the staff explored the three principles of "the same sacrifice time, the same sacrifice place, and the same troops" to confirm the identity of the martyrs.

Li Zhongshui, Director of the Martyrs' Rites Search and Appraisal Center of Retired Military Affairs Department: Last year, Liang Bai martyrs were confirmed by this method. According to this working idea, we studied the military historical data of the 218th regiment of the 23rd Army and the sacrifice of sacrifice in the South Korean Volunteer Army. In the next step, it will focus on the list of martyrs' sacrifices of the 218th regiment to further confirm the identity of the martyrs.

Today (September 16), the ninth batch of 88 people returned to China safely in the remains of the Chinese People's Volunteer Martyrs. The Ministry of Affairs of the Retired Military Affairs stated that the DNA appraisal of the 88 martyrs' remains in the future will be carried out by the national martyr's remains DNA appraisal laboratory.

The DNA Appraisal Laboratory of the State Martyrs 'remains will rely on professional teams and advanced technical means to carry out DNA appraisal work on the ninth batch of martyrs' remains.

Li Zhongshui, director of the remains of the Martyrs' Rites Search and Appraisal Center of the Retired Military Affairs Department: After the ninth batch was welcomed by the remains of the Martyrs of the Han Volunteer Army, we will use the work arrangement to extract DNA information of the martyr's remains as soon as possible to enrich the DNA database DNA database of the Han Volunteer Army. (The first eight batch) Welcome to the South Korean Volunteer Martyrs, and have confirmed their identity for 10 martyrs and found their relatives.

While establishing the DNA database of the martyr's remains, my country has also carried out in batches in batches in the collection of DNA information collection in Han Volunteer Martyrs, and established a relative DNA database to provide a scientific basis for subsequent findings to find the scientific basis for the martyrs and relatives.

On July 20 this year, the Ministry of Retired Military Affairs Department established the State Martyrs' Rites Search Team and the DNA Appraisal Laboratory of the State Martyrs' remains, marking the staged results of the construction of the remains of our martyrs' remains.
