CHENGDU, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese honor guards walked forward, carrying a box containing human remains. U.S. honor guards stepped up to receive it and carefully placed an American national flag over the box.
The box held eight bone fragments recovered from a glacier more than 5,000 meters above sea level. The remains, believed to belong to U.S. airmen who went missing along the Hump Route during World War II (WWII), had lain in the mountains for more than 80 years.
The remains were recovered in areas along the Hump Route, which was established after Japanese forces occupied Myanmar in 1942, cutting off the Yunnan-Myanmar road, China's last major overland supply link to the outside world.
