"I blew the wind you blew, is that a hug?" I've walked the path you've walked, is that a coincidence? This song "Hear that there is you in the distance" expresses the common voice of the supporting soldiers.
All the way to the trek all the way to the song
A big classroom with all participation

Clear love is being passed on
The great realm of the defensive state
On the afternoon of January 23, the plateau training station was stationed at an altitude of 5,300 meters. Irimiratti, a private of a regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region, blushed when he saw a simple line on the greeting card: "Uncle of the People's Liberation Army, you have worked hard!" ”
Three days ago, seven large trucks full of supplies set off from Yecheng, Xinjiang, and slowly advanced along national highway 219, over the rugged and steep Kudi Daban. Kudi Dasaka got its name because of its dangerous terrain, which means "a snowy mountain that even a monkey can't climb."
This was the first military station established on the Shinzo Line. Instructor Jin Liangyuan pointed to an inconspicuous poplar tree in the courtyard and said, "It has grown so big for more than 50 years, and it sprouts every year!" Squad leader Ding Shujie and his comrades-in-arms held greeting cards and letters from all over the world in their hands and read them to each other, loving each other.
The astronomical post is located in the hinterland of the Karakoram, with an average altitude of more than 5100 meters, and the wind is raging throughout the year, the snow does not melt all year round, and the oxygen content in the air is less than half of the plain. Condolences from Liaoning, Jilin, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi and other places have finally come to this "plateau on the plateau" after several turnovers. The air pressure was too low, the bag containing the nuts swelled up, bursting through the carefully packed gift box, and letters and greeting cards slipped out of the gift box. The soldiers could not help but burst into tears: "The people of the whole country are thinking of us!" ”
At this moment, at fiery cross reef in the Spratly Islands, warships laden with condolences slowly docked. The officers and men guarding the reef looked forward to it, looked at the small mountain of supplies in front of them, and speculated about what kind of surprises would be in the "blind box" gift bag.
Soldier Huang Xin could not wait to open the gift bag, "Dan Xin swallowed the sea with great vigor, and his ambition soared above the clouds to protect the rivers and mountains", a New Year couplet with a magnificent atmosphere and full of paper affection, which attracted the attention of his comrades-in-arms.
"Dad, what do you think I received?" Prickly pear juice from our hometown! As soon as he received the condolence package, Yu Jiangsong, a warrior guarding the reef at Mischief Reef, couldn't wait to video call his family.
The officers and men guarding Huayang Reef at the southernmost tip of the motherland also received a family gift package, and the rural sounds, tastes, and nostalgia of Guangxi, Chongqing, Shandong, and other places came to the waves.
In the direction of Ali in Tibet, yecheng in Xinjiang, and hainan, the special condolence activities for the Spring Festival are like a spring tide, touching countless soldiers and civilians and condensing the strength of the majestic. A sentence in a condolence letter from a high school student in Beijing resonated with everyone: "The snowy mountains around you are majestic, and the Guotai min'an behind you." More and more people have read the words of the martyr Chen Xiangrong, a first-class meritorious hero who swore to defend the territory of the motherland to the death: Clear love is only for China.
Borders connect home and country, and "clear love" is transmitted.
