While both North and South Korea and their allies fought fiercely for control of the Korean peninsula, heroes emerged on both sides of the conflict. No matter what uniform they wore, their deeds are worthy of remembrance. Amidst this terrible war of attrition, a Chinese soldier named Huang Jiguang made the ultimate sacrifice and would become a national hero in China for years to come.

The First Indochina War also had a hero who did the same heroic deed. He was Phan Dinh Giot, a Vietnamese soldier who fought in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. He used his body to cover up a machinegun nest to make way for his comrade. He died at the age of 32, posthumously awarded the "Hero of the People's Armed Force".

I had dinner with a Korean War vet and he recounted a story that three Chinese soldiers had crawled yards from a machine gun pill box and dug a hideout under it. They hid in there all day waiting to attack at night. He said that was the bravest thing he ever saw in the war. Even if they succeeded it was suicide. Decades later he and his wife visited China often and he made friends with many Chinese veterans of that war.

The propaganda of this war by European and American media reflects the arrogance of Europeans and Americans towards Asians. They only know Mao, and any strategic decision made by China is Mao. In fact, Mao is just a politician. In the Korean War, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army was Peng Dehuai, and Peng Dehuai's most glorious achievements were conquering Xinjiang, Qinghai, Mongolia...... It is obvious that in the eyes of Americans, only one person is enough to represent an Asian country

His action and sacrifice was indeed an unknown to the outside of China. Not only Huang Jiguang, but also Qiu Shaoyun who was burned to death without giving away his comrades' position in the same war. Also, another Chinese soldier, Dong Cunrui who blew himself to destroy the enemy's bunker during the Chinese Civil War. Indeed any soldiers from any sides who sacrificed themselves deserve some respect. Two mistakes: Chinese soldiers were members of People's Volunteer Army (PVA), not People's Liberation Army and they never flew Chinese national flag, but only plain red flag and sometimes they flew North Korean flags.

"those things were meant to plow through infantry like a chainsaw." which makes this sound like chinese propaganda. gun meant to harvest meat doesn't harvest meat in this moment? also, gun crew who clearly pushed away dirt from their vision decide not to do the same to the soldier who is obviously dead? nothing about this makes sense. there is luck in war that can lead to interestingly true tales of valor... and then there is bending reality physics for your propaganda. this was probably told to make poor soldiers fight harder because someone totally absorbed hundreds of bullets because starving chinese soldiers can now stop bullets with their emaciated bodies? if this did happen, it probably was a random cannon fodder communist who just happen to die infront of a pillbox that ran out of ammo at that time. they probably ran out of ammo because communists tend to send waves upon waves of soldiers into the meat grinder with little regard.

Both the very best and very worst of humanity often comes out strong in war. Whether its heroism, bravery or self-sacrifice, some of the best qualities of people can be seen on full display in battlefields of all kinds. These qualities know no flag and belong to no country, as all soldiers fight first and foremost for the man beside them.

In Vietnam, we have the exact same story in the form of Phan Đình Giót leaping himself onto a French pillbox to block machine gun fire. His sacrifice is sung for all eternity as an example to follow. Now the controversial thing is that many people especially southern boomers don't think its real. They think it's a fabricated or overexaggerated story for propaganda purposes. I'm inclined to believe them myself considering how Communism have been known for over the top propaganda. My own grandfather personal theory is that Giót got shot and died while charging with his comrades then they dump his body on a pillbox to block gun fire. It doesn't matter what the truth is as long as it conveniently makes for a good story.
