On December 28, Meng Xiangbao was on his way to inspect the Great Wall.

Approaching the middle of winter, Meng Xiangbao, a 57-year-old Great Wall protector in Dalongmiao Village, Jianchangying Town, Qian'an City, Hebei Province, packed up his equipment early in the morning and began to inspect the Great Wall. Meng Xiangbao officially became a Great Wall protector in 2016, and was responsible for guarding the Great Wall for a total of 25 kilometers, of which there are 7 enemy towers, which have to be inspected four or five times a week. "As long as it rains and snows, I have to go up the mountain to take a turn, and if I find danger, I have to report it immediately. Meng Xiangbao said. Living at the foot of the Great Wall since childhood, the Great Wall enemy tower, beacon tower, and wall battlements are Meng Xiangbao's childhood "playmates", although the work of the Great Wall protector is hard, but he enjoys it: "This section of the Great Wall is 'built' in my heart, and I have counted what changes they have every day." ”
