General Joseph Stilwell retreated across the border into British India. Between 1942 and 1945, over 60,000 Chinese soldiers retreated troops and recruits flown in across the Eastern Himalayas. These troops successfully re-entered Burma to defeat Japanese forces and secure the Ledo Road. Many soldiers died during the mission. In the memory of the war heroes, lost their lives in the World War II, General Zheng Dongguo founded the cemetery in December 1944. It is spread over 7.25 acre of land and is covered with forests.
