During the past 20 years, Liu Dewen, the chief of Xiangheli Village in Kaohsiung of the Taiwan region, has voluntarily searched for and brought the ashes of more than 200 veterans back to their hometowns on the Chinese mainland. In 2023, the ashes of Tang Yiqi, a veteran who left Sichuan Province for more than 70 years, were returned to his hometown for burial with the help of Liu Dewen.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. Neighbouring countries include the People’s Republic of China to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south.

The political status of Taiwan is complicated. The Republic of China (ROC) is no longer a member of the UN, having been replaced by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1971. Taiwan is claimed by the PRC, which refuses diplomatic relations with countries that recognise the ROC. Taiwan maintains official diplomatic relations with 14 out of 193 UN member states and the Holy See.

The competition alternates between England and Australia, who host every two years (this varies a little based on the Southern Hemisphere having summer during Northern Hemisphere’s winter), the Ashes is a series of five Test matches, which are each played over five days.
