Thursday marks the 70th anniversary of the signing of the 1953 ceasefire agreement that brought the Korean War to an end. At the request of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), China joined what would become one of the 20th century's fiercest battles to push back U.S.-led forces, known in China as \"the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.\" Today, the Chinese border city of Dandong stands as a testament to resilience and renewal. Once a war-torn city, Dandong has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a hub of peace and prosperity.
