On July 11, the reporter went to No. 6 He Lane, Mangling Village, among the many duty spots in Ruili City, Yunnan Province, on the China-Myanmar border, to visit the guards for their work and life for a day.
Ruili City is located in the southwestern border of China. It borders Myanmar on three sides to the east, west and south, and is adjacent to the "Golden Triangle" area where the drug source is located. The complex geographical environment makes it more difficult to combat illegal border crossings and prevent and control the importation of overseas epidemics.
In order to combat illegal crimes at the border and prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Ruili City has set up 545 front-line duty points along the 169.8-kilometer border. Thousands of border guards take turns on duty 24 hours a day.
It is understood that He Lane No. 6 is guarded by police, militia and villagers, as well as public officials from Dehong Prefecture and Ruili City.
Because the border is full of dense forest trails and the boundary river is narrow and shallow, the border guards will conduct daily water patrols on the Ruili River.
In addition to daily patrols and guards, the border guards usually repair roads, grow vegetables, and maintain equipment.
