China News Network Honghe, August 20th, title: People on duty at the Sino-Vietnamese border: to guard the country is to guard your home
Author Zhou Rong
Recently, strong convective weather has continued to invade Honghe State in Yunnan Province, which borders Vietnam.
On the "front" to fully resist the import of the epidemic, all the auxiliary civilian police officers of the Honghe Border Management Detachment insisted on the epidemic prevention duty point in the wind and rain.
On the 848-kilometer border of Honghe Prefecture, "Wind and Rain Duty" stations have become a "National Gate City Wall".
Recently, heavy rains were accompanied by strong winds, and a car slowly drove into the duty point of the Yanjia border checkpoint on Luchun National Road 219.

Checking documents, measuring body temperature, checking itinerary codes, registering information... After a set of actions, Peng Jie's trouser legs are already wet.
Suddenly a strong wind blew him, and he and his canopy were almost blown away together.
After some refurbishment, Peng Jie plunged into the rain again.
Some people felt that setting up cards was a "big problem" and made them inconvenient to get in and out, so they angered Wang Hongguang, the auxiliary policeman on duty at Menixinzhai, the Luchunpinghe border police station.
However, Wang Hongguang never complained. He patiently persuaded everyone and publicized the grim situation of the current epidemic to them.
"You are both parents' hearts. It's raining every day and you haven't seen your clothes dry. You are as old as my son, and I feel distressed when I look at it." A woman of the Yao ethnic group in her 50s said Speaking of Wang Hongguang's hand when he was on duty to hide from the rain.

Wang Hongguang and his colleagues stick to their duty point, no matter how difficult it is, with a smile on their faces.
In the early morning, the wind roared along the Nanxi River in the Hekou. At this time, the assistant policeman Long Jianhua of the Chengguan Border Police Station in Hekou was on duty at the temporary duty point.
Under the dim flashlight, he and a police dog were next to each other, silently guarding the land under his feet.
The sound of the wind became more and more "rampant", and in an instant, the torrential rain was like a note.
Long Jianhua found a discarded asbestos board in a bush not far away, so he immediately pulled up the asbestos board to obliquely cover the plastic chair on the side, and built a simple "canopy". He and the police dog huddled in this area for less than two minutes. In a small triangular space of square meters.
After a few minutes, sweat and rain flowed from Long Jianhua's hair, through his forehead, into the eyebrows, and hung on his eyelashes.
But he didn't care about rubbing it, still staring at the environment around the duty point intently, for fear of letting go of the "breath" that would endanger the border of the country.
In the end, one person and one dog were all drenched into "luotangji".
The rain is getting bigger and bigger, which adds to the difficulty of the originally difficult duty work.
Jinping Mengqiao Border Police Station's Longbo River epidemic prevention and control duty point is located at the wind outlet and there are no obstructions around it. Therefore, a red four-cornered red umbrella has become the only "safe haven" for the duty personnel.
Policeman Wang Shihao has been here for more than 370 days, and he has gone through countless storms with this red umbrella.
He was "fully armed" on duty in the wind and rain, and his entire face was covered by a hat and mask, and even his goggles were blurred by the rain.
It is difficult for people to recognize Wang Shihao's appearance, only that he is very burly.
"We are guarding a door, protecting the thousands of families." Wang Shihao said as he held the red umbrella tightly to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
"Last night and this morning, the trees on the mountain pass were blown down, the tents were blown over, and we are still here." This is Wu Xinhong, a police officer on duty at Dananxi Yakou at the Nanxi border checkpoint in Hekou, after a whole night of wind and rain. WeChat Moments posted later.
Despite the wind and rain, Wu Xinhong and his colleagues will not waver in their original intention and confidence in fighting the epidemic.
"To guard the country is to guard our home!" This is the common aspiration of the "Wind and Rain on Duty" of the Honghe Border Management Detachment.
With their determined figure and perseverance at each duty point, they have become the most solid barrier to safeguard border security.
