A flag for the country and the world —— Thoughts on strengthening the border and strengthening the defense on the border line of Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province ■ Zheng Shuyan, Bian Fubin Villages along the border of Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Photo by Xiong Pingxiang There is history in the chest and mountains and rivers in the bottom of the eye. The vast frontier area is a place where poetry and distance converge. Writing at the border can depict a variety of brilliance if it is written in terms of local conditions and customs; If you use the scenery to express your feelings, you can sprinkle the poems with long thoughts. However, looking at today's Wenshan border defense in the "south of colorful clouds", the most beautiful scenery is not poetry, but numbers better than poetry—— On the 438 km border defense line, more than 2600 natural villages along the border bid farewell to poverty, and modern border well-off villages have been built into a new landscape of border defense; More than 10 ethnic minorities living on this land, more than 100000 border families and more than 400000 people of all ethnic groups in the border have entered a well-off society Cangsheng stepping song, still water flowing deep. These seemingly simple figures are vividly changing and profoundly defining the mountains and rivers of Wenshan today and tomorrow. "The red flag is picturesque", walking in Wenshan, where people are rich and beautiful, the style and style of harvest and wealth are intoxicating. When such a scene comes into view, it immediately reaches the hearts of the people and inspires a sudden surge of blood - five-star red flags are fluttering on the roofs of villages and families in the thousands of miles frontier. Every country has a flag. Today, the red flag is flying at the border, which clearly shows the thick background of poverty alleviation and prosperity in the border area, and proclaims the sonorous oath of the border defense army and people to strengthen the border defense. Home, country and the world - the combination of home and country is not only a unique character aesthetics in China's Thesaurus, but also a unique special expression and profound interpretation of "border elements". For history, the frontier is a heavy book, and the flying five-star red flag is the guide to understand this book. The fiery language of the dance in the wind and cloud tells us that in the mountain and river texture of this hot land, the harvest and chronology of this home contains the bitter memory of the vicissitudes of the Chinese nation and a strong and fierce chapter in the national history. Every household in Malipo County hangs a five-star red flag. Photo by Bian Fubin If you want to be rich, build roads first and strengthen your backbone From the history of a small village, we read a condensed history of the development of Wenshan border defense. In early 1953, the suppression of bandits along the Wenshan border ended. The superior transferred a squad leader named Wu Qilin from the combat forces that had just completed the task of suppressing bandits to tianjiawan, where the front-line Miao people live in Maguan County, as the first Secretary of the Party branch. Tianjiawan village is called "bay", which is actually a mountain. The villagers live near the mountain, and the crops are cultivated in a mountain called Eagle mountain. Although the mountains here are uneven, due to the accumulation of volcanic ash and dead trees and leaves, the land is "fat enough to make oil". The question is, why have the villagers here been suffering from hunger and cold for generations? The first party branch committee meeting of tianjiawan village analyzed the reasons: the mountains around the village are high and the valleys are deep, and the closed environment seriously hinders the development of production and life; Before the founding of new China, the harassment and invasion of foreign troops and the plundering and robbery of local bandits and warlords made everyone in the village unstable and people's livelihood uneasy. When the suppression of bandits is over, how can the people of all ethnic groups in the frontier live a new life? The meeting of the Party branch committee held by the fire pond did not leave a record, but the slogan to change the face of the hometown put forward at the meeting was hotter than the burning fire pond. It has been passed down from the villagers to today - there should be roads on the ground and bones on the back. A slogan with action is the most powerful. Next, Wu Qilin led the whole village Party members and masses to do one thing: building roads along the mottled boundary pillars greatly facilitated the villagers to work up the mountain and the militia to patrol the border. On the national day of 1953, Wu Qilin led the whole village up the Eagle mountain along the new road. Facing the sacred boundary pillar, they straightened their spine, put their voice bright, and vowed to echo in the mountains and rivers - We are a member of China. We have the responsibility to keep the boundaries of heaven and earth of the motherland; We are a member of China. We have the responsibility to keep the mountains and rivers of our motherland; We are a member of China. We have the responsibility to protect the plants, birds and animals of our motherland Once again, I climbed Eagle mountain, and the old vows poured from the depths of history. Since then, 68 years have passed, and earth shaking changes have taken place at the border. The road built by tianjiawan village in those years extends 138 kilometers, and the population has grown from 100 families to 1162. But this change and that change, the solemn oath ceremony has never been interrupted, and even the oath is the same as it was 68 years ago. Today, when we walk along the border defense, we are full of new weather. Wenshan Prefecture has achieved "five connections, eight guarantees and three attainments" in transportation, communication, electric power, education, health and other social and people's livelihood security and basic public services, and the brand-new outlook of a well-off society in an all-round way is exciting. The simple wish of "there should be a road on the ground" has become the memory of the frontier people. "To be rich, build roads first" has become a reality in the frontier, and the instructions of predecessors "to be strong and strong" are engraved on the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups. The clanking words left by Wu Qilin, the Secretary of the old Party branch, have never become a historical legacy. Today, decades later, they still echo in the new journey of strengthening the border and strengthening the defense of the people of all ethnic groups in the frontier. The words of a local leader are profound and concise: the slogans and vows left by the first generation of border guards in New China are actually an examination paper for the development of the relationship between "wealth and strength" in the frontier. Each generation has its mission, and each generation has its responsibility. Only by raising the spirit and continuing the song of revitalization can we hand over the qualified answer sheet of the "trilateral article" of "strengthening the border and strengthening defense, prospering the border and enriching the people and opening up along the border" to the satisfaction of the people in the frontier. —— Build a "four beams and eight columns" to guard the border. Wenshan Prefecture takes strengthening the border and strengthening defense as the "No. 1 project", and puts forward the basic idea of dominating the overall economic and social development of the whole Prefecture. This year, they established a joint headquarters, with the Secretary of the State Party committee as the commander, and thousands of party, government and military cadres as grass-roots commanders. They assumed the responsibilities of "section leader" and "film leader" on the front line of the border. At the same time, they also defined 24 goals and refined 49 key tasks. —— Consolidate the ideological foundation of strengthening border and strengthening defense. *** Hold it firmly in your hand. —— Continue the glorious history of defending the frontier. They deeply integrated the double support culture with the "blood stained style" of Wenshan border defense, and made the sacrifice and dedication of "everything for the front line, everything for victory" become a glorious tradition on the red earth through the activity of creating a double support model city Officers and soldiers of a border defense company and the masses of Muyang Town, Funing County jointly patrol.

Miaoling Zhuang township is a land of great beauty. However, what makes Wenshan people most proud and glorious is the red heritage condensed by blood and fire on this land. In 1927, our Party established the first rural Party branch in Yunnan Province in Wenshan; In 1928, the party organization formed a Miao peasant armed force here and became the first ethnic minority armed guerrilla in Yunnan Province; In 1931, the earliest red revolutionary base in Yunnan Province was founded in Funing, a border county; In 1935, the Communists in Wenshan translated and published the Zhuang version of the international song, which was widely sung in the Zhuang area. The classic work of our party's early national propaganda work, the Three Character Classic of Miao and Yi, was also created in Wenshan. History depicts a clear track - building a strong fighting fortress at the grass-roots level is the basis of victory. History shows the reality that today, the most arduous and arduous task of realizing the "wealth and strength" of the frontier is still in the villages, and the broadest and deepest foundation is also in the villages. After a thousand sails, I have great ambitions. The glory created by the revolutionary predecessors in the southwest frontier has inspired the Communists who struggle on the same land today. With firm political determination and spiritual toughness, they actively devote themselves to the frontline of the frontier as sharp knives and raids, strive for "first-class work", and become "steel nails" riveted on the steel frontier in the new era. The words of a leader in Wenshan Prefecture are full of philosophy: "our predecessors planted trees and our descendants enjoyed the cool. The trees planted by our predecessors have long been deeply rooted and leafy. For the future, we are our predecessors. It is the feelings and responsibilities that our generation must adhere to to to to plant a strong and solid tree and let it take root in the frontier." Planting trees must take root, and the roots of trees in mountains must be deep and firm. Party building comes first. Build a strong fighting fortress of grass-roots party organizations. The State Party committee has established and improved Party organizations in more than 140 border administrative villages, developed and established party groups in border natural villages, and established "Party member central households" and "veterans central households" in areas where border residents live in scattered areas by selecting the first secretary, linking "articles" and "blocks" and sending task forces "Frontier party building corridor". Innovation is the source. They have innovated a series of new models to strengthen border defense under the guidance of Party construction. For example, they have explored the "National Party committee", the party, government, army, police and people's Party organizations stationed at border ports jointly build, live an organizational life together, and jointly grasp border control; they have subdivided the overall border planning of the whole Prefecture into more than 1000 sections, with more than 1000 "section leaders" Be responsible level by level and section by section, so that each boundary pillar and each frontier access road has a specific person in charge. On the basis of getting rid of poverty in an all-round way, Wenshan Prefecture has made efforts to build the border into a window to show the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics by implementing the project of cultivating rich leaders, guiding relevant enterprises to settle in the front line of the border, supporting and expanding the village level collective economy, and "Battle Fortress village", "pioneer model village" and "rich and beautiful village" have emerged in the border. On this red frontier land, a detail witnessed the inheritance of red blood - on the second day of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the whole village of tianjiawan village climbed Eagle mountain again, and on one side of the mountain, five big characters were inlaid with rocks: long live the Communist party. Yes, when a kind of faith and love from the heart, its owner and inheritor are not just a few people, but the people in every village, not just for a period of time, but through time and space, then what we will have is the realization of the Millennium dream. The "boundary clerk" of the border village in Wenshan Prefecture painted the boundary pillar red. Photo by Bian Fubin Rivers and mountains are the people, and the people are rivers and mountains Country, land, national defense, country These resounding "national prefix" words are not abstract concepts in the frontier, but the real responsibility of every unknown mountain people and village people. "When the sun is shining, the enemy is like a cloud, and when the arrows fall, the scholars compete for the first." far from it, in the battle to defend the frontier in those years alone, hundreds of Iron-blooded heroes and legendary heroes have emerged in Wenshan. Another figure is like a trickle of mountains and stones, which is difficult to count - the people of all ethnic groups in the frontier, who are as simple as land, are like nameless hills, mountains and streams on weekdays, but when the motherland needs them, they always gather together without hesitation, give up their lives, live to death, and prove and note with blood
