The heart of the naked child of the three generations of "border guards" in the border areas of Yunnan
Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province is located in the southwestern border of the motherland, bordering Vietnam, with a national border length of 438 kilometers, and red is the background color carved into the bone marrow of this border hot land.
A few days ago, this reporter came to Luojiaping Village in Jinchang Town, Maguan County, Wenshan Prefecture, and luojiaping in October was surrounded by a lingering fog, making it difficult for people to distinguish the way, but in the fog, the bright red national flag erected on the roof of every household can point out the direction.
In this red interweaving, the reporter met the 59-year-old Xiong Guangguang, the director of the Luojiaping Village Village Village Affairs Supervision Committee, dressed in camouflage. As an authentic Luojiaping villager, he began to follow his grandmother and father to patrol the border since he can remember, and now he is the third generation of volunteer border guards in the family.
When asked about this history, the unspeakable Xiong Guangguang said: "The boundary monument is the most precious thing that Grandma left for herself." ”
Xiong Guangguang's grandmother, Xiang Zuodi, a local herbalist, joined the Communist Party of China in 1950 and became the first miao female party member in the local area, "At that time, she took the villagers to patrol the border almost every day, and as soon as she found that the boundary monument was moved, she immediately organized people to move back. Xiong Guangguang's initial understanding of the border line and boundary monument came from his grandmother, when he was a child, he often followed his grandmother to the mountain to collect herbs while patrolling the side, in such a hearing, he gradually knew what is the border line and what is the boundary monument.
In 1977, Xiong Guangguang's father, Xiong Bingqing, a barefoot doctor in the village, took over the baton from his aging grandmother. After his father's death in 2009, Xiong Guangguang, who returned to the village after graduating from medical college and joining the militia, carried the responsibility of patrolling the border to his shoulders. He said: "Since I was a child, my grandmother has told us that as people on the border, it is our responsibility to guard the border. ”
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Xiong Guangguang has to patrol the border line in charge every day, going back and forth for more than 20 kilometers, and it takes 2 to 3 hours to walk, which is accustomed to him. Every time he patrols the border, he must bring a brush and red paint, and painting red for the boundary monument is a part of his life, in his heart, the boundary monument is not only a number, but also a symbol of the country.
"Since the implementation of grid management, basically every 10 households is a grid, each grid is a turn once in 20 days, once to go to 1 day and 1 night, but all the villagers are very enthusiastic and active about the voluntary patrol; the former patrol road conditions are very poor, often need to drill grass, since the repair of the patrol road, not only can it be opened to traffic, the surrounding wasteland can also be used." Bear Shine said.
Relying on the cultivation of traditional Chinese herbs such as grass fruits and sand kernels, coupled with various incomes such as pig farming and migrant workers, the per capita income of Luojiaping Village is now more than 10,000. The village has been rated as "State-level Ethnic Unity Demonstration Village", "Provincial Civilized Village" and "Safe Village", and in 2017, Luojiaping Village was listed by the State Nationalities Commission as a village with chinese ethnic minority characteristics. In the future, the village will also combine national culture and red tourism resources to develop rural red tourism through rural revitalization.
From the grandmother to the father, and then to the bear luster himself, what has changed is from the old era of war to the new face of stability and prosperity, what has not changed is the sincerity of the heart of the three generations of healers, and the three generations of border guards are as firm as ever.
