Netizens called the "most special holiday" during the Double Festival holiday just past.
The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival coincide on the same day, and a warm flavor is incorporated into the celebration, and the hearts that separate the two places look forward to reunion.
Some people say that there is a kind of migratory bird called army sister.
In order to meet his lover, the wife of the border guard traveled far and wide to visit relatives.
The end of the journey is the mountains and rivers guarded by his lover, the boundary monument he has mentioned countless times, and the patrol road he has walked countless times.
At the end of the journey, he waited eagerly, as well as his generous shoulders to carry the burden of his country.
Thousands of waters and mountains cannot block a tenderness.
Accompany him on his way, eat the hardships he has suffered, and taste his happiness and harvest.
Accompanying is the best long-term love.
Although the time of staying at the border is short, those beautiful figures who are rain or shine have brought the best blessings from afar, writing the warmest narrative of the barracks.
Their perseverance has added a sense of family and country justice to the feeling of reunion at the border, and a touch of blood and tenderness.

On the southern border of Yunnan, the bright moonlight casts a layer of silver on the main peak of Laoshan.
Looking at the lights at the foot of the mountain, the military sister-in-law Gao Mingxiao, who accompanied her husband Yu Huiming on duty, had a happy smile on her face.
Yu Huiming is a squad leader of the "Border Defense Hero Company" of a border defense brigade of the Army in the Southern Theater Command. He has guarded Laoshan for 10 years.
Every time he stands on the sentry post and sees the peace under the mountain, a sense of sacredness rises in his heart: "Guarding the battle position under your feet is to guard the peace of your homeland."
There is a kind of national defense right in front of us, and a kind of growth right in front of the border.
Climbing the mountain tops, camping in the dense forests, fighting the heavens and the earth again and again... These "growth experiences" belong to the soldiers, let Yu Huiming find the value of life.
In the ordinary days, he constantly pressurized himself, challenged the limits, won gold and silver in superior military competitions many times, and became a well-known elite soldier in the company.
Yu Huiming, who is dedicated to guarding defenses, occasionally greets his wife's anger, "You, there are only boundary markers in my heart."
The company has a heavy duty of defense and defense. Yu Huiming, who is familiar with the plants and trees on the mountain, has given his comrades the opportunity to visit relatives on holidays.
The couple have known each other for 5 years and have spent only a few festivals together.
This year's Double Festival is approaching. The brigade organized an awards party for the "Most American Army Sisters" selection and invited some military wives into the army to patrol with their husbands. Gao Mingxiao was also invited.
When he received a phone call from her husband that day, Gao Mingxiao felt excited: "I can finally have a reunion festival with him, and I can see where he is stationed and walk the path he has walked." In the heart of the military wife who cared about and waited for her husband in the new year, "small reunion" was great happiness.
On the second day after arriving at Laoshan, Gao Mingxiao boarded the company's patrol car.
At the thought of accompanying her husband on patrols and looking at the boundary monument he had mentioned countless times, Gao Mingxiao's heart "pounded".
"In the past, the patrol road was deserted on both sides, and the villagers lived in thatched houses. Now, the newly built patrol road stretches out to distant mountains, and the former desolate scene has long been replaced by prosperous villages." Starting from the company, patrolling The car drove along a winding mountain road.
Along the way, Yu Huiming talked about the changes in the resident's location.
Gao Mingxiao felt deep emotions from her husband's tone.
Soon after the march, the patrol car plunged into the rolling mountains.
She had heard from her husband a long time ago that the border line controlled by the company had dangerous mountains, high roads and deep valleys and dense forests.
At this moment, the car is traveling in a deep mountain valley, with gravel falling from the cliff on one side at any time, and the abyss on the other side of the road.
Sitting in the patrol car, Gao Mingxiao's heart seemed to be tied, and he couldn't help but clenched Yu Huiming's hand tightly, trying to calm herself down.
At the end of the road, Gao Mingxiao followed the patrol team into the dense virgin forest on foot.
She hadn't walked far, but she had really realized the meaning of "uphill panting, feet flashing downhill": "Where there is a way, it is difficult to walk; where there is no way, it is shocking."
In the dense forests of southern China, leeches and mosquitoes raged, and the muddy and rugged mountain roads made it difficult to walk.
When climbing a steep slope, due to physical exhaustion, Gao Mingxiao slipped.
Fortunately, Yu Hui's eyesight and quick hands helped her in time.
At that moment, looking at the cliff below, Gao Mingxiao took a long time to relax.
Through the swamp and the rapids, wherever he went, Yu Huiming would tell Gao Mingxiao the story that happened on that patrol road.
Although her husband spoke lightly, Gao Mingxiao's heart grew deeper and deeper.
The patrol team came to the boundary marker deep in the dense forest and waited for the comrades to complete the boundary marker inspection task. Gao Mingxiao and Yu Huiming carefully painted the boundary marker.
Standing in front of the boundary marker, Yu Huiming pointed a finger at the distant ridge and crossed a line: "There is the frontier line we guard, and it is also the meaning of our stay here."
Listening to her husband's words and watching the bright red on the boundary monument, tears burst into Gao Mingxiao's eyes.
At this time, she had a little more understanding in her eyes, and she understood the weight of her husband's shoulders.
"Stick to the frontier defense with youth is an oath to defend the country and defend the country." In the eyes of the military wife, the shoulders of the lover are getting thicker, "He takes the responsibility of the country and the country, and I would like to guard him for life."
"Look, the place where the fireworks are blooming is the port of the ship." As night fell, the lanterns were beginning to come on, thinking about the appearance of people celebrating the festival not far away, Yu Huiming gently said to his wife with his finger to the sky.
Gao Mingxiao leaned his head on his shoulder, and his heart was bright.
