On the Karakoram Mountains, there is a border post with the largest temperature difference - the Sanctuary Bay outpost.
At an altitude of 5,380 meters, it is called the "forbidden area of life" by medical experts
The temperature difference between day and night here is more than 30 degrees, and the winter lasts for more than 6 months.
The oxygen here is less than 45% of that of flat ground, but the intensity of ultraviolet light is 50% higher
Here, the cold wind swept through the steel guns, and the steel guns would not be able to pull the bolt.
Here, the cold wind sweeps over the face, and the face is branded plateau red.
Here the cold wind sweeps over the lips, and the lips will crack and gap.
The cold wind here sweeps over the ears and hands, and the ears and hands will have chilblains.
The closer I get to the Spring Festival, the more I respect my border comrades.
On the Karakoram Mountains, there is a border post at the highest altitude - the Heweitan outpost.
The altitude here is 5418 meters, which is the highest record for our army outpost.
It snows all year round and is frozen all year round.
High cold, hypoxia, low pressure, strong ultraviolet and cosmic ray exposure.
The atmospheric pressure and oxygen content are less than half of the standard value.
The conditions of duty, training, and living conditions for officers and men are very difficult.
The closer I get to the Spring Festival, the more I respect my border comrades.
On the Sino-Russian border in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, there is one of China's coldest border posts, the Yimuhe outpost.
It is located in the depths of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and is isolated from the world for nearly half of the year.
This is a "snowy island", with more than 300 kilometers around it uninhabited.
The winter here is extremely cold and long, and the frost-free period is only more than 80 days a year.
The lowest temperature here is minus 57 degrees Celsius, which is known as "the coldest place in China".
The closer I get to the Spring Festival, the more I respect my border comrades.
In the northernmost Mohe Arctic village in China, there is the world's loneliest outpost, the Arctic Outpost.
In the beginning, there was only one soldier and one horse.
accompanied by round-the-clock patrols, guarding this sparsely populated birch forest in the Great Khing'an Mountains.
Later, there were people at the outpost to supplement and grow, and they fought against loneliness and wind and snow.
When on duty, you should wear a cold-proof mask and a cotton hat, except for your eyes.
It is covered with ice and snow for more than 240 days, and is known as the coldest region in the country.
At minus 53 degrees, the "statue" of the Arctic outpost sentry did not move.
Tourists thought it was ** people, and an uncle tentatively saluted the two "statues".
The two "statues" took off their gloves and returned the military salute, which moved hundreds of millions of people to tears.
My comrade-in-arms on the border, I also guarded the border for the country for 20 years.
The flaming red military flag unites us.
The loud trumpet calls us together.
You have always been fighting on the front line of border defense, guarding the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Because you know that you are the last natural barrier of the motherland.
You would rather shed blood, sweat and even sacrifice your life, and you still have no regrets or complaints.
You are a solid mountain, the glory and pride of the motherland.
With your flesh and blood and selfless dedication, you have built the immortal Great Wall of border defense of the Chinese nation.
You can't reunite with your family during the Spring Festival, you are guarding the reunion of hundreds of millions of families.
You are all the loveliest people and I have the highest respect for you.
