Amazon Quiz (January 24, 2022): The Kangxiwar Martyrs’ Cemetery is the highest cemetery located in which country?

A. Bhutan

B. China

C. Myanmar

D. India

Answer: China 

Kangxiwar Martyrs’ Cemetery, located in Xinjiang, is a high-altitude cemetery for military personnel. It houses the bodies of more than 100 Chinese soldiers who died fighting Indian troops in the Galwan Valley skirmish. 

The Chinese government takes the sanctity of the cemetery and its intended respect to martyrs who died, protecting China’s border, very seriously. In 2021, there was an incident of a travel blogger posing disrespectfully next to one of the tombs, which drew the ire of Chinese citizens and authorities alike. 

The tombstones of Chen Hongjun, Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan, and Wang Zhuoran, are located in this cemetery. Hongjun, the battalion commander was honoured with the title “border-defending hero” posthumously, while the rest received first-class merits.
