Lhasa, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- During the season when heavy snow closes the mountains, soldiers' dining tables are green every day.
Mei Shixiong, Zheng Maoqi.
The wheels crushed the snow and ice, turned around and circled down the path on the cliff ......During the Spring Festival, this reporter arrived at the Shibuqi Frontier Company of a certain frontier regiment of the Ali Military Sub-district for an interview.
This frontier company was stationed in a river valley, and the garrison was closed for up to six months, and the supply of materials was a major problem.
Shibuchi", which means "the place where the sun sets last" in Tibetan. It is in this "snowy island" with inconvenient transportation and severe cold climate that the reporter witnessed a winter "miracle" - the ecological park between the peaks of the snow-capped mountains.
Walking along the bluestone path into a garden, the reporter saw that several begonias stretched their branches to face the wind, and tall aspen trees stood on the side. On an earthy yellow painting wall, seven large red characters are particularly conspicuous - "Snowy Biansai Ecological Park".
Push the door in, and inside is a green world. This is an insulated greenhouse with boiler heating
Green passion fruit vines vigorously climb half of the greenhouse dome, longan and peach tree seedlings are planted in the vegetable patch, a few lush plantain trees stretch out, and several sturdy orange trees are planted along the edge of the greenhouse......
In more than half a month, another crop of vegetables can be served on the warrior's table. Wei Jianbing, a sergeant of the first class who was tidying up the vegetable field, said, "In other sheds, we are raising seedlings for watermelons, melons, and cherry tomatoes, which will soon be transplanted here." ”
Once upon a time, none of this was unimaginable.
During the most difficult period, the bowl did not see green for several months. "For the story of the company's poor roads and heavy snow covering the mountains in those years, Wei Jianbing, who has been in the army for 14 years, has a deep memory.
Wang Baokang, the instructor of the company, introduced that later, with the strong support of the superiors, the company adapted measures to local conditions and scientifically planted and raised, not only raising chickens, ducks, pigs and other poultry and livestock, but also rebuilding a "snowy border plug ecological park" integrating planting and breeding, leisure and entertainment.
The officers and men took matters into their own hands and reclaimed the piles of rubble into vegetable patches and orchards. Wang Baokang told reporters that after the company designed the plan for building the garden, the officers and men made concerted efforts to build walls, dig ponds, build vegetable patches, and pave passages, ......Within a few months, the ecological park had begun to take shape.
In recent years, the higher authorities have joined hands with relevant scientific research institutes to implement precise policies in different regions and classifications, and orderly promote the construction of "plant factories" in border areas. At the end of 2021, the Shibuqi Frontier Defense Company built a "plant factory", using soilless cultivation technology, which greatly shortened the growth cycle of vegetables. Today, the problem of eating fresh vegetables in winter has been solved, and the dining tables of officers and men are green every day.
Walking through the company's barracks, the neat and orderly barracks, vibrant greenhouses, fat and strong cattle and sheep are in stark contrast to the desolate snow-capped mountains around.
Even when the snow covers the mountains, we can still eat fresh vegetables. Wang Baokang said, "The company's support capability has been continuously enhanced, and the combat effectiveness of border defense has also been effectively improved." ”
In the era of arduous conditions, generation after generation of officers and men of the Shibuqi Frontier Defense Company regarded hardship as happiness and the company as their home, riveted like steel nails among the snow-capped peaks and successfully fulfilled various missions and tasks centered on duty training.
The borders of the country are not afraid of thousands of miles away, and they are willing to endure the cold for the people. Second Sergeant Yang Chao pointed to the poem on the stone tablet at the gate of the camp and said, "Now, the living conditions are better, and our enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the border are higher." I will continue to stand a good post, put a good sentry, and guard the border for the motherland. ”
