The fully enclosed border management model enables the police in the depths of the mountains to live a "isolated" life.

  "In the past, there was no mail and no signal here, and if I wanted to contact my family, I had to get a call from the village of Logu River, 11 kilometers away. Also because of the inconvenience of transportation, the police of the police station drove to Mohe every one or two weeks to purchase fresh vegetables and daily necessities. Police officer Cai Pei said, "Before I came, I heard that this place is very difficult. ”
