The Memorial of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ({{zh|s=抗美援朝纪念馆 |p=Kàngměi Yuáncháo Jìniànguǎn}}), also translated as the Korean War Museum,[1] is a museum in Dandong, Liaoning. It is the only official museum in China that memorializes the Korean War (called the "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" in China). First established in 1958, it was rebuilt at its current location in October 1990. The new museum was opened on 27 July 1993, the 40th anniversary of the Panmunjom armistice. Since 2014 it has been closed for refurbishment.

History

The memorial is the only official museum about the Korean War in China. It was first established in 1958 as an annex of the local history museum of Dandong, Liaoning Province, which is China's main border city with North Korea and played a critical role in the Korean War.[2] Construction for a much grander building began in October 1990, and the new museum was opened on 27 July 1993[3][4] to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Panmunjom armistice.[2]

The museum spent more than 10 years collecting all the names of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers killed in the war. In 2006, it announced that it had collected 183,108 names,[6] which has become an authoritative death count of Chinese soldiers in the Korean War. The museum plans to build a "martyrs' wall" inscribing the complete list of names.[5]

In 2008, the memorial was included in the first batch of 83 national first-grade museums of China.[6] In November 2013, however, it was demoted to a second-grade museum in a reassessment.[7] The museum was closed in 2014 for a major refurbishment. As of 2017, it has not yet reopened.[2]

Location and facilities

The museum is located on Mount Yinghua north of downtown Dandong, overlooking the North Korean city of Sinuiju across the Yalu River. It consists of three major structures: the main exhibition hall, a panoramic painting hall, and a memorial tower,[3] surrounded by a {{convert|50000|m2|adj=on}} park.[4] It occupies an area of {{convert|182000|m2}}, with a total building floor area of {{convert|20000|m2}}.[4]

Exhibitions

The exhibition in the main hall comprises more than 700 photographs and over 1,000 artifacts, as well as models, charts, paintings, and sculptures that explain the progress of the war.[3] The exhibition extols the fraternity between the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the (North) Korean People's Army and laments the sufferings of the civilian population in both Korea and China. A major focus of the museum is the sufferings of the Chinese prisoners of war held in the Geoje prison camp in South Korea, with photographs showing Chinese POWs who had anti-Communist slogans forcibly tattooed on them. However, the museum does not mention the discrimination the POWs suffered after they were repatriated to China or the persecution some of them endured during the Cultural Revolution.[2]

The panoramic painting hall contains a giant painting depicting the Battle of the Ch'ongch'on River (1950), a decisive victory by the People's Volunteer Army. Measuring {{convert|132.15|m}} long and {{convert|16|m}} high, it was China's largest panoramic painting when the museum opened in 1993.[4] The painting encircles a revolving viewing platform in the centre of the hall.[3]

The memorial tower is {{convert|53|m}} tall, which signifies the year 1953, when the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed. The tower's name is written in the calligraphy of Deng Xiaoping.[4]
