September 24th is the 74th anniversary of Jinan Liberation. The generals of Hero Mountain have set up 49 heroes. On this day, Jinan will hold a monumental ceremony for 49 unknown martyrs who have sacrificed in the battle of Jinan.

74 years ago, many hot -blooded young people bid farewell to their loved ones for the liberation of the motherland, the people's happiness, and went to the battlefield to donate their lives in the smoke of the artillery fire. The war was in a hurry, and many sacrifice martyrs buried on the spot and became unknown martyrs.

"In the past, every time I came to Hero Mountain, I often went to the Martyr's Cemetery to see it. When I saw the tombstone of the unknown martyrs, I felt very sad!" Li Junshui, the president of Licheng No. 2 Middle School, saw the battle for the Battle of Jinan. After a report of the unknown martyrs looking for relatives, the unknown martyrs now have a name and found their loved ones. "As long as we remember, they will live forever!"

New Yellow River reporters learned that in order to make unknown martyrs sleep no longer as well as, Han Yan, secretary of the party group and director of the Jinan Retired Military Affairs Bureau, has repeatedly led the personnel of relatives to communicate and coordinate with various departments to promote the job of finding relatives of unknown martyrs.

However, the use of DNA technology to find relatives in the province and even the country is an exploration work. There is no experience to follow. Finding relatives is the first time in the province and even the country.

At that time, the Jinan Retired Military Affairs Bureau demonstrated various arguments to overcome all difficulties.

Since last year, a total of 705 DNA samples have been extracted.

At 9 am on September 7, 2021, the family search team was for the first time. The first team of unknown martyrs in the Jinan Campaign departed from the Cemetery of the Revolutionary Martyrs of Jinan, and went to 8 cities in Shandong more than 20 villages and towns in Shandong, and 12 martyrs.
