The Pamir Plateau, the ancestor of mountains and a land of extreme cold, is where the spirit of heroes is passed down, and the "clear love" for our motherland flows here. When the sunlight lit up the snow capped peaks of the Pamir Plateau, Sentinel Zhao Wenkai stood with his chest raised and his right hand tilted upwards, vigorously waving the national flag. He then turned the winch, and the five-star red flag slowly rose and fluttered above the mountains. This is the base of the Hongqilafu Border Defense Company of a border defense regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region located in the Pamir Plateau. The company was established in 1949 and has been responsible for guarding the border between China and Pakistan for nearly 100 kilometers. It guards the Hongqilafu Port, the highest elevation gateway in the world. The average elevation of the station is over 4700 meters, with a minimum temperature of over -40 degrees Celsius and oxygen content less than half of the plain. It is truly a "life restricted zone", and the Border Defense Company has been awarded the honorary title of "Model Company for Defending the Country and Border Defense" by the Central Military Commission. Entering the honor room of the border defense company, the hanging hundred honor banners caught the eye, and this scene made the newly recruited soldier Gao Guanghui, who had just been enlisted for 7 months, feel excited in his heart. Before joining the army, he had just graduated from a university in Henan. Entering the Honor Room, I really felt a lot. The Honor Room is all about the contributions of the old seniors, "Gao Guanghui told reporters." Since I am here, I will work hard and hope that one day I can also win honors for the company. "What made Gao Guanghui even more excited was to accompany the old squad leader Zhou Linping to patrol at the Hongqilafu National Gate and a nearby location. In front of the Zhongba No.7 boundary marker, Zhou Linping specifically asked Gao Guanghui and him to paint the boundary marker red together. As a newly enlisted recruit, it is an unparalleled honor to come to the Hongqilafu Border Defense Company. We are a company with a glorious tradition, and when you come to this company, you must continue to carry forward our Hongqilafu spirit of 'rooting in Pamirs and loyal guarding the border'. In future work, you must train hard to inherit and carry forward the Hongqilafu spirit. "Zhou Linping said to Gao Guanghui while describing the red. Yes! Class leader, please rest assured that I will definitely become a qualified Hongqi Lafu person and live up to the expectations of my country. This is Gao Guanghui's first time patrolling at the national gate. "At the moment I saw the national gate, my heart stood in awe." Gao Guanghui said, "At that moment, I felt that my work was very sacred." For Zhou Linping, the emotions inside this patrol were much more complex. This veteran who has been in the military for 16 years, Will be discharged from the military at the end of this year. The term 'Hongqilafu' in Tajik means' bloodstained passage '. Over the course of 16 years, it has witnessed significant changes in the working conditions and living environment of border defense soldiers that have accompanied the prosperity and strength of the motherland. When I first came as a new recruit, the conditions here were too difficult. "Zhou Linping recalled the scene 16 years ago, feeling a lot, The vegetables can't be stored properly. They freeze in winter and rot in summer. At that time, we often eat vegetables that are more convenient to store, such as potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and skin sprouts (onions). "Zhou Linping said," The entire company only has one generator
