Sentinel before the sight of all men as a silent history textbooks, but also as a spiritual bonanza, always inspired defending their frontiers, fulfill the mission.

“Think behind the vast territory of the motherland, just like the door of every household in the home guard”

climb off the Friendship Gate House, 3 side corner after a fire destroyed the re- repair lines in traces, witnessed here was a former battlefield. Not far away, a new day and night looking at the pillar behind their homes.

each Eighth patrol officers here, there is always a sacred feeling from the heart filled. Year old company commander Huang Ruixiong Jinjishan led troops early on. To establish the ambition to serve the country, he led troops to flag pattern carved in stone walls, every morning oath to the motherland. Early spring, nearly Nail-old company commander back to the frontier, patrol officers and men before departure coincided with the company held a flag-raising ceremony. Witness the young soldiers and the national anthem majestic rhythm, shoot straight and raised his right hand to salute the flag, the old company commander moved to tears: “So many years later, the officers and men in flowing blood is still loyal to the motherland ! “

loyalty is to the body patriotic spirit of the military background. Only Zu Guohuai have an army loyal to, in order to withstand the test of various difficulties and obstacles, to defend national sovereignty and dignity to become a strong pillar.

serve the country, will always be the main theme of spiritual pursuit Eighth officers and men. Books Yi Zhang recruits under even found that each patrol commander and veterans look over thousands of the pillar and the surrounding circumstances should be carefully observed, carefully recorded, somewhat puzzled at first: each patrol should be meticulous to repeat these actions, but almost all normal conditions every time, this necessary?

“toward the border, boundary markers as well as all the markers and the markers are not any subtle changes are related to the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty of each patrol is in the show, defending territory, because we must not negligence causing damage to the national interest. “wavelet, then the company commander had to Shu Yi deeply understand: the frontier is no small matter, not a hint of negligence.

afternoon, officers and soldiers patrolling the beautiful mountains, thunder comes up suddenly, like a blue lightning on the cutting edge in the hills waving. Officers and men of a bite, braving the danger of being struck by lightning on a beautiful mountain. Pixia a thunder, lightning seemed to have his head exploding, the whole mountain tremble. Zhang participated in patrol and did not stop the book arts: “to safeguard national sovereignty patrol major event, no time to retreat.”

border guards who know how the weight of the motherland. Post when the company arrived in long lines Wuji Peng, fear learning useless, initiation of the transferred idea. Since he was the guide post, the company has hundreds of times as to the superior head of the briefing visit, a post from which he weigh the weight: “In the past the motherland in my mind is just a map. Now, standing sentinel to like behind the vast territory of the motherland, home of thousands of families like the door of the guard. “

” never forget the martyrs with flesh and blood, as we paved the way forward “

towering monument, towering corridor Qiu tree branches, the endless blue sky, quiet sleep peacefully … … the tomb of the martyrs walk Eighth zone, nestled in the pine two Martyrs Green cypress trees.

here, buried more than a thousand martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their country. Each time officers and soldiers here and pay homage to the heart is always filled with infinite respect: never forget the martyrs with flesh and blood, as we paved the way forward. They left with their lives for our peace of cool, we leave something for future generations?

the best memorial of martyrs, is to keep good guard over the positions they had to complete their unfinished business. Position as the martyrs of this common destiny with the same feeling, the hearts of men forever Eighth.

company of 369 officers and men to take root vegetable is the border of the witness. That year, veterans stationed Jinjishan when it was still a barren rubble. Ancestors back from the patrol on the road back to earth wasteland to grow vegetables, a touch of green from the beginning to the later fruit fragrance garden, vegetable Shoubian generations who witnessed this piece of positions in a common destiny with the complex. Today, living conditions improved, security officers do not need to open up wasteland to grow vegetables to survive, but they still care for this piece of vegetable, so that this “spiritual home” always lush.

former enlisted soldiers Li Qidong home business, income of nearly one million a year. He was a soldier a few years, the family business to take care of the decline due to lack of people. Retired down the mountain, his luggage was only a washed white backpack and a few household items. But the veterans feel a very productive: “What a man can not see the light, but also look at what pay. A person who forgot they were coming from, not a big tree on the long, another big success also at most a bonsai. “retired three years later, with the hard-working spirit to develop in the armed forces, he called the business to Southeast Asia, a rising star in the local business community.

“afraid to face a military history, destined not to win the future”

“shells stuck in the mouth, a hundred years is difficult to speak.” Eighth post that stands in the door “dud”, like a silent textbooks, so that men often witnessed an upsurge always hard.

history is already past, the position in the foot. “This position can no longer repeat the tragedy of shells could not hit out!” Clank oath the officers and men into a Eighth Jingwu can flash strong footprint.

years ago, Xu Feng, Li Xiaowu two soldiers to participate in the Guangzhou Military Region contest. In the highly competitive accuracy shooting contest in subjects who both shot 50 good results in ring, tied for first place. About winning experience, the two soldiers said: “the tense atmosphere of the examination room, we do not know the company has gone through many times.”

peacetime as in wartime. In the Eighth, there is a length of 800 meters obstacle field, not only the outline of the provisions of all obstacles, but also adds a cliff wall, nail matrix, such as border defense bamboo real obstacle array. Officers and soldiers every obstacle is time across a comprehensive physical and skills tests. Barriers to market clearance from the foot patrol officers and men of every road, involving mountain river Rulvpingdi.

face the tide of revolution in military affairs, soldiers often recall my mind that the door card bore cannons: the year of the Qing brave invincible cavalry, because missed the heat from the cold steel weapons to transition opportunities, and ultimately unable to complete the task of defending the country to defend.

“afraid to face a military history, destined not to win the future.” When the army first information of a type of border and coastal surveillance equipment company, when issued, officers and soldiers gathered in the ancient fort vowed : keep up the pace of military construction transformation, it is necessary to master this new equipment from the start. They write their own training materials and assessment rules, changing of the guard more than six months after training, all officers and men not only mastered all the technical performance of new equipment and methods of operation, to achieve a “multi-skill”, “a military multi-purpose”, but also for the production of 15 equipment manufacturers to make improvements.

“border peaceful development is the creation of the largest contemporary border guards fruit”

looked north along Eighth Jinjishan post, a site on in full swing, the deafening roar of excavator: China’s land borders the largest Free Trade Zone – Pingxiang comprehensive Free Trade Zone is under construction.

highway through foreign, mahogany market merchants, crowded tourist spots in the border … … officers and soldiers stood sentinel on the Eighth day, witnessing the scene of border peace and prosperity, was very happy: “border of peace development of contemporary border guards to create the largest fruit. “

the flower of peace, silence is used to pay border guards to guard and watering. Former instructor Yu Shouyong children born at a time when the demarcation demarcation agreement between China and Vietnam signed a crucial moment. After the demarcation in order to better fulfill the defense, he chose to stay in the frontier. Unexpectedly, his son was born soon suffering from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in critical condition, he rushed to get home. 3 days after the son of an improved condition, he would return to the border. Leaving, he leaned over to kiss infant son, and turned in bed for the weakness of his wife: “I go, just bought the milk and sugar are placed in the closet.” Difficult wife nodded, tears as broken string of beads flow down … …

students platoon Qin Desheng love for his girlfriend 3 years away in the border together from many, to break. Receive a “Blows letter” that day, he tears into guard post in front is the development of thriving frontier scene. Slowly, the border of the spring to disperse the haze of his heart: the happiness of the military is different from ordinary people’s happiness, only know how to pay contributions to the mission into the motherland’s peaceful and the people of peace, is the greatest happiness.

know how to love a soldier, will naturally not be loved forgotten. Later, Nanning City, a beautiful female students again love the “ball” thrown to him.

Eighth of the zone in the past, many border residents are reluctant to build a house, only willing to buy appliances and other necessities. The reason is simple: if the day war came to buy electrical appliances can be moved, built a house fire will be destroyed.

Today, the border over the last wretched housing, and much has been building beautiful replaced by reinforced concrete. Day, visit the company resident fellow to talk about this, said with emotion: “Who do not want to own a house so civil? But in the past does not, it is you gave us confidence and strength.”

At that moment, the officers and men feel happy blood Eighth Bay over the body, this body of uniform body weight is so heavy … …
