Although we have never met them, we've been benefiting a lot from their efforts

小时候课本里最可爱的人昨天回家了。天上飘着雪花，我们在沈阳仙桃国际机场用最高礼仪迎接英雄回家。这段路他们走了73年，当年新中国刚刚成立，中国一穷二百，我们没有飞机，我们没大炮，我们只有步枪。这场仗我们要不要打？毛主席几天几夜没有入眠，最后决定要与美帝国主义开战，当年的志愿军穿着单薄的衣服，补给还没跟上。他们就乘火车跨过鸭绿江。与美帝国主义打了这场立国之仗。我们最终赢得了这场胜利，美帝国主义开始重新看待我们，他们才开始从骨子里惧怕我们。我们所有的尊严都是从这场战争开始的。我们的志愿军共阵亡14.1万人。我们牺牲了14.1万志愿军的代价，是他们的鲜血和生命才换回了今天我们所有的人这么幸福的生活。这是一场立国之战。每年英雄们荣归故里，我们每一个中国人都要深深地怀念他们。我怕下笔太重，惊扰了烈士的英魂，我又怕下笔太轻，描不出他们惊天动地的往昔，历史书很小，装不下他们的伟大，但我们随手一翻，就是他们的一生，我们虽未谋面，但深受其恩。

Although we have never met them, we've been benefiting a lot from their efforts. Yesterday, the soldiers of Chinese People's Volunteer Army, who are described as the most lovely people in the textbook of middle school, were sent back to China. In the falling snow, we welcomed our heroes home with the utmost decorum at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport.  It's been a long way for them starting from 73 years ago. Back then, People's Republic of China was just founded, poor and underdeveloped. We had no planes or cannons, but only rifles. To decide whether to attend the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Chairman Mao couldn't sleep for several days. Eventually, China decided to fight against the American Empire. At that time, in thin clothes and a lack of supplies, Chinese People's Volunteer Army took trains across the Yalu River and fought this battle against the American Empire that gained international status for China. Finally, we won the victory of the war. It was from then that the American Empire started to take a new look at China and fear us from the bottom of their hearts. We won our dignity from this war. 141,000 of our Volunteer Army were killed in the war. It is at the cost of these 141,000 soldiers' blood and lives that all of our Chinese people live such a happy life today. It was a war that won international status for China. Every year when the heroes are sent back to our motherland, every Chinese should commemorate them deeply. I'm afraid that my words are so heavy that they will disturb the spirits of the martyrs; but with only superficial descriptions, it won't be enough to portray their earthshaking legends. History books are too thin to chronicle all their greatness. But a random page may record their entire lives. Although we have never met them, we've been benefiting a lot from their efforts.
