Sentinel Ling Shangqian: A "Monument to Loyalty" Standing on the Border of the Southern Frontier

Guangxi News Network, 5 Nov (Reporter Chen Chuangming) On 4 November, the Autonomous Region People's Defense Border and Coastal Defense Office organized the central media stationed in Guizhou and the media directly under the district to report on the propaganda month of border and coastal defense policies and regulations. Along the way, from the seaside to the alpine border post, the reporter felt the most deeply: no matter how difficult the conditions, our sentries can stick to their posts and guard the peace of the border with loyalty. Because they know that behind them is their homeland, a beautiful motherland. "Thanks to me, happy hundreds of millions of people" This is a sentence that Ling Shangqian, the sentry director of the Tianchi National Defense Militia Post, often said, and it is also a true portrayal of the Guangxi sentinels who are loyal to their duties and willing to dedicate.

Ling Shangqian, male, a native of Nongtang Village, Pingmeng Town, Napo County, Guangxi, was born in February 1963, joined the Party in September 1988, and entered the Tianchi National Defense Militia Post in Napo County in 1981 to work so far, successively serving as a sentry, deputy sentry chief, and sentry chief. All along, he has not considered gains and losses, silently adhered to, with the boundary monument as the companion, with the outpost as the home, loyal to his duties, no complaints and no regrets, known as the "loyalty boundary monument" that stands on the border of the southern country.

In order to guard the door of the country, he gave up the opportunity to change the fate of his life many times. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the town twice recruited specialized military cadres from the national defense militia post, the first time Ling Shangqian gave the indicator to another comrade of the post, and the second time he took up the post of the special military cadre, the other comrades in the post left to work, the post was faced with the situation of "people going to the building", and Ling Shangqian returned to the post.

In the face of the embarrassment of guarding the card on the mountain on the one hand, and the dashing number of votes under the mountain on the other, Ling Shangqian's value balance has never been tilted towards illegal and private interests because of money, and he has always been undistracted, leading the sentry to guard the entry and exit passage all day long, and there has never been a problem of violation of law and discipline.

In carrying out the task of "three eyes" on highways to maintain stability and set up cards, individuals are honest and self-disciplined, and they can resolutely resist the temptation of various interests such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and smuggling and smuggling, and do not provide convenience for lawbreakers and criminals who smuggle, protect, and smuggle. Although his family was poor, he was never confused by money, never touched the high-pressure line of border policy, and many times smugglers wanted to use money to win him over and let him provide convenience, but they were all strictly rejected, always clean and honest, and always maintained a good image of a militia reservist.

Ling Shangqian's long-term strict requirements have made the sentry develop a good military style, and the reporter walked into the post to see that the bedding was clean and tidy, the quilt of the "tofu block" was folded angularly, and the lockers were placed in an orderly manner. In terms of training, he was even more difficult and strict; the post only had a "large piece of land in the palm of the hand", the training facilities were scarce, there was no long-distance running field, Ling Shangqian led the sentry to put on homemade sand leggings and sand vests, and rushed back and forth to the top of the mountain; without a shooting range, he inserted the target into the mountain and practiced aiming in the tunnel; even the patrol road became a training ground for Ling Shangqian to lead the sentry to practice lurking, practicing grappling, and practicing escorting.

Ling Shangqian took the initiative to take the initiative in the construction of outposts, helping the people in need, and strengthening the national defense awareness of the border people, and poured countless efforts into consolidating the stability of the border of the defense zone. Tianchi National Defense Militia Post is located at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters above sea level on the side of Shishan Mountain, the name of Tianchi sounds like a blue wave, but in reality there is only the barrenness and desolation of the mountains, and the harsh living conditions of the post make it a big problem to keep an eye on people.

In order to improve the conditions of the post, he and the sentry dug soil and smashed stones together, and did not leave the post for three months, but they cut out more than an acre of vegetable land from the stone pile piecemeal, smashed out a small fish pond, planted their own vegetables, raised fish, and later raised chickens and sheep, and slowly realized "abundant food and clothing."

When engaged in hydropower construction, he also carried two or three tons of stainless steel pipes up the mountain little by little, connecting them section by section, and lifting more than a dozen cement poles weighing hundreds of kilograms to the top of the mountain and erecting wires. At present, the study, training, duty, work, and living environment of the sentries have been greatly improved, and few sentries have retired from the sentries because of their living conditions.

Inspired by the deeds of generations of Shubian people, the atmosphere of supporting national defense and dedicating themselves to national defense in Napo border towns has become stronger and stronger, and the tradition of "one village and one company, one household and one sentry, one people and one soldier" has been continuously inherited.
