The depths of the desert have always been great and mysterious, with dangers that we can't imagine, and the living environment is also unimaginable hardships.
However, in the desert of our country, there are still countless people who have endured the invasion of wind and sand for decades for the safety of the motherland, and have been working diligently for decades for our green tomorrow.
Next to Lop Nur, known as the "Sea of Death", there is a simple police station in an area full of sand and sandstorms all day long.
This police station is known as the loneliest and most difficult police station in China, and you can imagine how difficult the life of the police here is from its position.
The surrounding area is deserted, drinking water needs to be 150 kilometers away, and there are only wild beasts within a radius of 100 miles, but the people here hold on to this environment for ten years.
What are the beliefs they hold on to in such an uninhabited area? How do you live in a difficult environment?
The police station, originally named "Red Shijing" police station, was established 23 years ago and is located on the southeastern edge of Lop Nur, in the heart of the Kumtag Desert.
When I first came here, there was nothing but the endless desert, and the only place to stay was a thin white tent brought by the police.
They do everything in small tents, and they don't have a place to live, let alone electricity in their daily lives, so in the 21st century, there are many nights when they are illuminated except for the moon which is a kerosene lamp.
At night, the moon is especially bright. ”
This is what the police who work here once said, but after a long time, there is no way to settle the tent, even in the plain area where the wind and sun are beautiful, it is impossible to live in a tent every day, let alone in Lop Nur, which is full of wind and sand.
The winds here are often above 10 degrees, and the temperature is close to 45 degrees Celsius in summer and minus 25 degrees Celsius in winter.
Sleep a night to sleep is the yellow sand of the body, and there are pots and pans that don't know how to blow to the **, living in a tent can solve the urgent need, but it is not a long-term solution.
Director Li Shengshou felt that he must need a foothold to block the wind and sand, and he looked around, in addition to the yellow sand, there were all kinds of rocky hills.
So they found a Yadan mountain that looked more resistant to wind and sand and began to dig, preparing to build a cave police station, in the hot summer, they dug a cave with a shovel.
During this period, it was not without accidents, because in the long-term wind erosion process, some rocks were the outside and brittle on the inside, so once when the director Li Shengshou went to hang rocks on the roof of the cave, the cave suddenly collapsed and buried him inside.
After waking up in a coma, he did not go to the hospital, but insisted on repairing the broken cave with his comrades, and finally the loneliest cave police station was born.
Later, the Dunhuang Yadan National Geopark was developed, and the police station was moved to the park and renamed the Yadan Police Station.
The Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in our country, and the temperature can even reach more than 60 degrees in the hottest time of summer, and the temperature difference between day and night is as high as 40 degrees.
In addition to these, the average precipitation here is very low, not exceeding 100 mm at most, and even a few millimeters in some areas.
In the spring, it is the season of sandstorms, and there are only 73 species of plants that live here. ”
On the edge of this desert is the famous Lop Nur, the Sea of Death, the world's most famous arid center, which has long been called a forbidden area for humans because of its harsh climate.
There is a great shortage of fresh water and food for human survival, and the terrain in the basin is very complex, and there are many high mountains to block it, so it is difficult to survive if you get lost here.
It was during his expedition to this area that the famous scientist Pengamu lost his whereabouts, and it still attracts many people with an adventurous spirit.
However, in order to protect people's safety, China has also made a lot of safety regulations and requirements for tourists crossing Lop Nur.
It takes a lot of tenacity to protect such a place, and in addition to the unspeakable dangers, there are also big problems with their normal lives.
The first big problem is water, such a place where "birds don't", a man-made structure can hardly be seen, only a dirt road connected to the outside world.
The nearest place with water is 150 kilometers away from the township, so the daily drinking water can only be transported from a distance, as we said earlier, there are no obvious landmarks here, so every round trip can be said to be a test of life.
Once they went out to buy, the car somehow broke down, because the communication was inconvenient, so they could only wait for rescue, so they waited for 4 days and did not see any car passing.
At that time, in order to survive, they even forced their bodies to find salt water and plant roots in the desert to feed their stomachs and maintain their vital signs, and finally were rescued at the last minute by a passing minecart.
Because of the arduous journey back and forth, they all cherish the food they bring from abroad, and the most difficult time is to bring pickled products from home that can be stored for a long time.
In winter, the living environment is even more difficult, because of the raging sandstorms and sparse population here, there is no power tower at all.
Therefore, in the coldest time, it can only be baked, and there is no other way to heat it, and the road ahead is long and difficult, but the director Li Shengshou is here to send away generation after generation.
Some people also wonder why they should stick to it here because the environment here is so harsh and there is nothing around.
Since the establishment of the Yadan Police Station, most of Li Shengshou's work has been to rescue people and tow trucks, although there are dangers everywhere, but there is still an endless stream of tourists who want to see the "style" of this mysterious place.
So it became common for them to look for lost tourists in the 10-force wind, and once a motorcycle rider came to the desert who wanted to explore the ancient city of Loulan.
The police repeatedly told him that the terrain here is very complicated and dangerous, and that if he is not careful, he will get lost in the desert, but in the end, he still did not persuade him, and the explorer persistently entered the desert.
After some time, Li Shengshou and the others suddenly received a notice to look for the missing tourist, who was the motorcycle rider from the previous day.
At that time, the Yadan boundary had already begun to hang up with strong winds, and the whole outside had become muddy, and there were no people in sight, but the police still insisted on starting the search process against the strong wind.
For two whole days, they found nothing, but they did not give up, they still insisted on searching, and finally saw a white figure in the wind and sand.
They hurried over, fed him water, gave him artificial respiration, and finally saved the man who was on the verge of life, and then the explorer thanked them with mineral water, instant noodles and money.
Li Shengshou left the water and instant noodles, and asked the person to take the money back, saying that it was their responsibility to save people and they did not need to be paid.
On another occasion, the police station received a call from the boss of a saltwater mineral spring area, saying that his workers had secretly run away, and that the environment here was so bad that they were not familiar with the terrain here, and they were likely to die if they walked here.
More than a dozen lives, Li Shengshou and they entered Lop Nur without saying a word and started the search, the terrain inside was too steep, and the compass was out of order inside.
But think of the dozen or so workers who were in danger of losing their lives, and they searched through their own experience until they were finally found behind a mound, 36 hours after their disappearance.
In the decades of perseverance, the staff of the police station have successively completed more than 170 rescue missions, saving the lives of 26 people before and after, which is a very great existence, which is also the belief and reason why they have always stuck here.
In the middle of the desert, there is the Yadan police station, and there is also a police station in the border area of our country at an altitude of 5,373 meters, where a group of immigration management police are stationed to silence and guard the tranquility of the border.
Since the establishment of the police station in 2012, Solangdajie has been the longest-serving man, holding the position of director, and over the years he has said that he has barely slept a full night, and wakes up many times a night because of a lack of oxygen.
Because the climate is cold and dry, sometimes the military posture is oblique on windy days, and when sprinkling water and humidifying at night, it freezes while sprinkling, and it is common to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to save people.
Although the times have developed and a lot of equipment has improved some of the local environment, it is still hard, but Solangdaje said that he never wanted to give up because the land has nurtured him.
Whether it is the Yadan Police Station or the Puma Jiangtang Border Police Station, when the people need rescue, they can give accurate and rapid rescue, in fact, they have measured their experience step by step with the experience of life and death.
There are no people who will stick to these places forever, but there are always people here who stick to it, lighting a "warning light" for the Gobi and the plateau.
