"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

author:Ping An Jilin

These are two letters from my sister to my brother

Unfortunately, they can never be delivered

The person who wrote the letter

One is Yin Mingyan, the sister of martyr Yin Mingzhi

One is Gan Yuqin, the sister of martyr Gan Zurong

August 3, 1997

Yin Mingzhi was arresting drug dealers

Fight bravely with multiple drug dealers armed with murder weapons

More than ten knives in his body still clung to the drug dealer

In the end, he died heroically

March 25, 2007

In an anti-drug battle on the China-Myanmar border

The drug dealer's bullet pierced GanZurong's chest

The blood of the martyrs was sprinkled on the border of the motherland

Also falling were comrades-in-arms Xu Shengqian and Bai Jiangang

December 1998

Yin Mingyan took her brother's steel gun

Become a border warrior

On the front lines of the fight against drugs

Face the most vicious outlaws

The "horse boy" who hides poison in the human body

She was not afraid

Analyze the case with your comrades-in-arms

Carry out special investigations and arrests

Evidence collection, interrogation...

"Check one more gram of poison at the border,

The people of the interior will suffer one less harm,

Fight the drug dealers to the end! ”

"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

Yin Mingyan weighed the drugs with his comrades-in-arms. (Left is Yin Mingyan)

December 2007

My brother died 8 months later

Her sister Gan Yuqin, who was far away in Guizhou, joined the army

Become a drug enforcement expert in the female soldier squad at the Mukang Border Checkpoint

In 2019, she transferred to the Immigration Management Police

From "Olive Green" to "Dark Blue"

Continue to take root in the Hula border police station and guard the border pass

"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

Gan Yuqin carried out epidemic prevention and control at the duty card point.

Fighting COVID-19

She volunteered to apply for front-line support at the border

It's only a few tens of days

Every day in the early hours of the morning when the work leaves

My daughter, who was less than a year old, had long since fallen asleep

You can only look at photos and videos to solve the problem

In the face of hardships and risks, Gan Yuqin has no complaints and no regrets

"It's nothing, everyone is working hard

There is no need to talk about conditions to guard the edge."

On the eve of the Qingming Dynasty

Gan Yuqin came to the Martyrs' Cemetery in Mangshi, Dehong Prefecture

"At this time of year,

I'll come and see my brother and his comrades-in-arms."

Year after year, the thoughts grew stronger

Chinese New Year's Eve this year

Under the walnut tree in front of the house

The mother could not cry

Take the statue of Gan Zurong in your arms

The family wept into tears

It's Qingming again

Gan Yuqin wrote this letter and sent her thoughts from afar

Between the memories, tears came down

"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

In the spring, Yin Mingyan also wrote down her thoughts about her brother.

"Brother, even though you've been gone for years

But I feel like you're right next to me

Whenever I encounter difficulties, I feel lost

Thinking of you has power. ”

"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

"If life could be done all over again,

I would like to finish it with you

The anti-drug mission that day. ”

This is the common voice of the two heroic sisters

My brother's blood spilled on the border

Only to follow in his footsteps and try to move forward

"Brother, it's Tomb Sweeping Day again soon..."

Qingming season

Kapok petals fall

The blood of a hero stained the earth red

On a human april day filled with longing

Letters that cannot be sent

Become the power of the living to move forward
