At 9:31 a.m. on June 10, a train of Harmony EMU drove into Guangxi Liuzhou Railway Station. Ren Zhongde, a 100-year-old railway soldier to resist U.S. aggression and aid to North Korea, was sitting in a wheelchair and rubbing his fingers, waiting a little anxiously.
What Ren Zhongde had to wait was to go to the Korean battlefield with him and drive a steam locomotive to transport anti-war supplies to the front line in a rain of bullets together with his comrade-in-arms fireman Wang Jiuliang.
In June 1951, at the height of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the train driver Ren Zhongde and the fireman Wang Jiuliang formed a team and became a member of the Volunteer Army's 897 Railway Corps and joined the frontline battlefield.
On the Korean battlefield, Wang Jiuliang and Ren Zhongde escaped many times.
