北京，9月1日 -- 2021年以来，退役军人事务部和军队有关方面通过技术手段，提取出志愿军烈士遗骸的DNA信息并建立了数据库。现已确定梁佰有、展志忠、吴雄奎、林水实4名烈士的身份和亲缘关系。
BEIJING, Sept. 1 -- The martyrs' remains search and identification center under China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs and relevant military units have extracted the DNA information of the remains of the Chinese People's Volunteers（CPV）martyrs and established a database by technical means since the beginning of this year. The identity and kinship of four martyrs including Liang Baiyou, Zhan Zhizhong, Wu Xiongkui, and Lin Shuishi have been identified.
对陈旧烈士遗骸开展身份鉴定比对工作是一个世界性的难题，主要是时间久远、资料缺乏、亲缘关系较远等。70多年来，了解烈士情况的亲友大多已去世，相关户籍资料很难查证，排查起来十分困难。
The identification of the remains of unknown martyrs is difficult due to long time, lack of information, and distant kinship. Over the past 70 years, most of the relatives and friends who knew the martyrs have passed away, while the relevant household registration information is difficult to research and verify.
同时，鉴定工作也面临烈士遗骸DNA提取困难这一问题。烈士遗骸受到战争创伤大，当年在战场被匆匆掩埋后受环境因素破坏，DNA信息降解严重。专家团队筛选了多个配方，最终从95%以上的检材中成功提取到DNA信息，达到了国际领先水平。
At the same time, the identification work also faces the challenge in extracting DNA from the remains of martyrs. The remains of martyrs were wounded by war and damaged by environmental factors after being hurriedly buried on the battlefield, causing their DNA information to be severely degraded. The expert team sifted multiple formulas and finally successfully extracted DNA information from more than 95 percent of the samples, reaching the world-leading level.
下一步，退役军人事务部将用信息化和大数据手段开展比对工作，为2万余名在韩牺牲的志愿军烈士建立亲属信息库，并分期分批开展在韩志愿军烈士亲属DNA信息采集工作。这是一项抢救性工程。
Next, China’s Ministry of Veterans Affairs will conduct information alignment by informatization and big data technology, establish a kinship information database for more than 20,000 CPV martyrs who died in South Korea, and collect the DNA information from the relatives of martyrs in phases and batches. The relevant work is very important and needs to be in a race against time.
在韩志愿军烈士亲属DNA数据库建成之后，每年中韩交接的志愿军烈士遗骸，就可以随时与在韩志愿军烈士遗骸DNA信息库进行比对，使得更多的“无名”烈士变“有名”。
After the completion of the DNA database of the relatives of martyrs, the remains of CPV martyrs handed over between China and South Korea every year can be compared with the DNA database so more "unknown" martyrs could be identified.
