In January 1994, the snowy plateau of Hoh Xil was bitterly cold and full of yellow sand. Sonam Dajie and his four team members have been patrolling the no-man's land for several days and are preparing to return.
The inspection lasted for more than ten days, and the team members were quite tired, but fortunately, they had gained a lot. During this inspection, Sonam Dajie and his team successfully captured more than 20 poachers and seized seven vehicles belonging to the poaching gang.
What's more, they also seized nearly 1,800 illegally stripped Tibetan antelope skins.
Building on the success of the battle, the Sonam Dajie team is committed to protecting the Tibetan antelope from poachers. Those seized Tibetan antelope skins, if sold, would be a staggering fortune.
Sonam Dajie is convinced: "Arrogant poachers will pay a price, and they will not give up easily. Sure enough, when Sonam Dajie and his team members returned from escorting the seized supplies, they were attacked by gangsters.
The gangsters took advantage of the strength of the crowd and brutally shot at the patrol members, and in the melee, the captain of the patrol team, Sonam Dajie, died heroically. In the blink of an eye, 26 years have passed, and most of the rampant bandits who killed Sonam Dajie have been brought to justice, but only two of the poaching gangs of that year are still trying their best to escape the pursuit of **.
When the news spread that Sonam Dajie had been blatantly killed by Hoh Xil poachers, the whole country was shocked. The public security and armed police departments took immediate action and vowed to bring these criminals to justice.
However, these cunning criminal gangs took advantage of the harsh environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to confront the public security and armed police. Despite this, the public security and armed police have not been intimidated by the difficulties in front of them, they have been chasing the culprits for decades, and generation after generation of public security officers and policemen have passed the baton, and now, a major breakthrough has been made in the bloody case of that year.
1.At the end of 2011, six criminals turned themselves in out of desperation, and the hunt will continue as long as the bloodshed is over. 2.Who is Sonam Dajie?
He is the nemesis of illegal poachers on the snowy plateau, and what kind of feud does they have with each other? He once gave up his good job in Beijing and the provincial capital in the past and chose to be a son of the grassland.
He formed our country's first armed anti-poaching team.
On the road of hometown construction, Sonam Dajie is diligent and diligent, always doing it himself, and almost every day he has to go deep into the people to understand the situation. At that time, China was under the blockade and suppression of imperialism and capitalism for many years, and the people's living standards were very low.
Qinghai Province is located in the western plateau of China, with arid climate, severe cold, thin air, inconvenient transportation, extremely poor living conditions, and even more worrying economic development level.
However, as a native of Qinghai, Sonam Dajie has a special affection for his hometown and knows that the development and construction of his hometown is arduous and long.
Sonam Dajie is well aware that in order to develop and build his hometown, he must start from the local natural environment and make full use of natural resources. When he learned that the residents of Suojia Township were short of food in winter, he and several township cadres resolutely embarked on a cold journey and measured a lifeline on foot, so that the 100-mile distance between Suojia Township and the county seat could be opened to traffic seasonally; Sonam Dajie also noticed the lack of educational resources in Zhiduo County, where many children are eager to learn but have nowhere to go.
To this end, he organized the masses to build boarding schools and sent his own sister to work as a teacher in the most difficult areas. Faced with his sister's incomprehension, he said firmly: "As my sister, you must have the spirit of hardship and hard work to serve the people." ”
Core idea: take the local natural resources as the starting point and make positive efforts for the construction of the hometown.
Not only has he made numerous contributions, but he is also acutely aware of the potential ecological crisis in the Hoh Xil region. Hoh Xil area is located at the junction of Qinghai and **, with a total area of about 2350,000 square kilometers is a vast and uninhabited land.
The average temperature of the uninhabited area is below 0 throughout the year, and the minimum temperature can be as low as minus 40.
Due to the sparse population, there is relatively little human disturbance in Hoh Xil, and most of the area still retains the original style after the formation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
At the source of the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world, there is an abundance of wildlife, but the ecological environment here is very fragile. The climate in the Hoh Xil region is unpredictable, but the Tibetan antelope has found its paradise here.
However, since the last century, there has been a serious threat to the Tibetan antelope due to frequent illegal poaching. At that time, Tibetan antelope wool products were very popular in the world market, especially in the European market.
After tens of thousands of years and hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary running-in, Tibetan antelopes have gradually adapted to the harsh environment of the plateau, their fur is thick and tight, the whole body is dense and silky, and they have extremely high cold resistance.
European women's love for cashmere products has made Tibetan antelope cashmere products gradually become a symbol of wealth and luxury. These delicate cashmere products, such as silk scarves, shawls, and coats, are highly sought after for their unique quality and elegant design.
The ** in the market is even more amazingly high, and can even reach tens of thousands of dollars. This huge profit has led some criminals to take a great interest in Tibetan antelope wool products, and they have begun to illegally purchase and sell these precious animal products.
Driven by profits, some people chose dangerous paths, and illegal hunting of Tibetan antelopes was once prevalent. Since the 80s, the number of hunters involved in the illegal hunting of Tibetan antelopes has increased dramatically, and a significant number of Tibetan antelopes are wounded by hidden arrows every day and then brutally skinned.
It is estimated that in just 20 years from the 80s to the beginning of this century, nearly one million Tibetan antelopes lost their lives in this illegal hunt. In order to obtain ill-gotten gains, these hunters risk their lives and carry out illegal hunting activities openly on the ancient and mysterious snowy plateau with all kinds of guns in hand.
In the face of nature, human power is like a drop in the ocean, incomparably small. The Tibetan Plateau, a mysterious and unpredictable place, is equally merciless to the criminals who have been hunting illegally here for generations.
Many criminals suffer from pulmonary edema due to the high altitude of the plateau, and some even lose their precious lives in the process. The dangers of the no-man's land are not limited to the Snow Mountain team, but also to the criminals.
However, although Sonam Dajie, as an authentic highland native, has an in-depth understanding of this, it is obvious that he alone cannot prevent the situation from deteriorating further in the face of numerous and vicious criminals.
Sonam Dajie has always been deeply concerned about forming a team dedicated to combating illegal poaching gangs. After his brother-in-law Zaduobajie took over as secretary of the Western Working Committee, he repeatedly told reporters that Sonam Dajie led everyone to go deep into the hinterland of Hoh Xil, conducted surveys and inspections 12 times, and collected a large number of natural and ecological resources to expose the tragic situation of the poaching of Tibetan antelopes.
In order to effectively curb the arrogance of poaching gangs, China's first armed anti-poaching team was established in July 1992 under the organization of Sonam Dajie.
Although the team that had been punctured through the major artery and died of blood loss had been formed, they still faced the problem of lack of supplies. They lack *** transportation and don't even have enough food and water.
You know, they're dealing with ruthless bandits, armed with guns and bullets. In order to ensure the success of each patrol mission, Secretary Sonam Dajie "borrows guns" from local municipal organizations every time.
They only borrowed a few guns, so two or three team members needed to share a gun. A member of the team who once followed Sonam Dajie to patrol the mountain recalled: "Every time Secretary Sonam Dajie led the team to patrol the mountain, it took a long way, at least ten days, and at most more than half a month. ”
Sonam Dajie, the guardian of Hoh Xili. Sonam Dajie, as a dedicated secretary of Hoh Xili, has covered every land and every corner.
His hard work has made the patrol team achieve remarkable results, and their righteous actions have made those lawbreakers feel terrified. Sonam Dajie has a good habit that every time he returns from a mountain tour, he will count and record the illegal materials seized one by one.
Under his leadership, the patrol team successfully smashed eight illegal gun poaching gangs, seized 25 guns and more than 10,000 rounds of various bullets, and seized up to 1,416 Tibetan antelope skins ......He is the guardian of Hoh Xili, guarding this beautiful and sacred land with his actions.
Although Secretary Sonam Dajie seized nearly 1,800 Tibetan antelope skins during his last mountain tour, unfortunately he was besieged by poaching gangs on the way back, resulting in most of the confiscated goods falling into the hands of poachers.
The amount of these seized Tibetan antelope skins is staggering, but compared to the Tibetan antelope skins that have illegally entered the market, the seized Tibetan antelope skins are no longer worth mentioning.
In the face of the cruel poachers, Secretary Sonam Dajie remained steadfast until his death. Looking at the Hoh Xil destroyed by poachers, Secretary Sonam Dajie's expression was numb, but his heart was dripping blood.
Hoh Xil is not a no-man's land, but a "lawless zone". Here is the brave secretary Sonam Dajie, who, in order to protect the land and animals, until the last moment of his life, still holds the gun tightly and points it in the direction of the poachers' escape.
His sacrifice is heartbreaking, but his spirit will always inspire us to protect this beautiful land.
With a young life and a resolute heart, Sonam Dajie has explained to us what a true hero is with his dedication. In the harsh environment of Hoh Xili, he even gave his life for the ecological environment of his hometown.
His deeds touched the people of the whole country, and his spirit was widely disseminated. As a result, Sonam Dajie was awarded the title of "Environmental Guardian" and became the protector of Hoh Xil.
Nowadays, when you walk into Hoh Xil, you may hear the legend of the "protector of Hoh Xil", who is Sonam Dajie. His sacrifice awakened the country's attention to Hoh Xili, to the Tibetan antelope, and to this mysterious land.
Since then, the spirit and deeds of Sonam Dajie have become a source of strength for us to protect the environment and protect our homeland.
Under the organization and call of the relevant departments, the establishment of nature reserves is progressing smoothly. At the same time, the armed police soldiers of Hoh Xil are armed with guns and ammunition, guarding all kinds of creatures on the plateau day and night.
However, those poachers who have committed serious crimes and owe blood debts have attracted great attention. The front-line police officers were deeply influenced by Secretary Sonam Dajie, who vowed to bring the criminals to justice.
They have been trying to hunt down these poachers for decades, although it is not easy to catch them on the frozen plateau.
In the no-man's land of the plateau, poachers have lived for a long time, and they have taken advantage of their geographical advantages to wage a "guerrilla war" against front-line police officers. In the course of the poachers' hunt, many young police officers have lost their lives to criminals and the harsh climate, but they have never given up on finding poachers.
In order to bring to justice the bandits who killed Secretary Sonam Dajie, the plateau police officers cooperated with each other and conducted countless investigations, and the nets they set up made the criminals have nowhere to escape.
At the end of 2020, Qinghai police successfully arrested the bandit leader Ma Mou, who participated in the killing of Secretary Sonam Dajie, who confessed to the crime of illegally poaching Tibetan antelopes and participating in the killing of Secretary Sonam Dajie many times.
This development is a major breakthrough in resolving the case of Secretary Sonam Dajie who was shot dead. However, despite this, the front-line police officers did not let their guard down, as there were still two suspects who were involved in the shooting of Secretary Sonam Dajie who had not been caught.
It has been nearly 30 years since Secretary Sonam Dajie died, but the public security officers are still working hard to bring all the criminal gangs to justice.
We look forward to successfully apprehending all criminals in the future and making them pay for their actions. Today, the number of Tibetan antelopes has recovered from 20,000 to 200,000, and this amazing achievement is inseparable from the unknown people who protect the snowy plateau, as well as our esteemed Secretary Sonam Dajie.
In honour of this great figure, we named the first conservation station in the Hoh Xil Reserve as "Jaysang Sonam Dajie Conservation Station".
On the road of protecting the Tibetan antelope and guarding Hoh Xil, the two children of Sonam Dajie, Zadobajie, and Zadobajie, as well as countless guardians, wrote a magnificent heroic hymn with their lives and dedication.
Their spirit, just like Secretary Sonam Dajie, will never disappear and we will always remember them and remember their dedication and dedication. Together, let us take over the baton and continue to protect Hoh Xil and our homeland.
