Dodger, as I have mentioned in ther previous replies to this thread, my uncle was one of the members of People' Volunteering Army. From the conversation with him, I have learnt that volunteer soldiers were quite loyal to the CPC and Chairman Mao at that time. As I can perceive from the older people around me, people of the early generations(1950s-1970s) were unbelievably loyal to Chairman Mao. He was a charismatic hero in the older Chinese people's heart. So, the troops' loyalty is no need to suspect.

So your father did not go to the Korean War. Well, have you ever heard of the People's Volunteering Army of China? My uncle (my mother's elder brother) was one of the members of PVA. He left home for the War at the age of 18, and stayed in Korea for several year. My grandmother missed him so much that she became blind because of the anxiety and too much tears. This is what the Korean War did for my uncle's family[/quote]
