The bodies of eight Chinese peacekeeping police officers killed in Haiti's earthquake last week returned to Beijing Tuesday. The officers had been meeting with Haiti's UN mission chief when the devastating earthquake struck on January 12th. Their bodies were retrieved by the Chinese rescue team several days later. Platoons of police and military guards lined the roads and saluted the convoy as it passed through Chang’an Avenue in central Beijing. Mourners watched the convoy pass in silence while some like police officer Zhou Lianying were in tears.

"They died for peace. Their deaths bring a lot of grief. They're models for all of us to follow. We should learn from them."

China has sent peacekeeping forces on UN mission since the year 2000, dispatching some 1,500 personnel. State media said there were 125 Chinese peacekeeping police in Haiti before the quake struck.
