|Study every day|In the middle of winter at the northern border, there is snow on the ground and a cold current in the sky. The Triangle Mountain Post located at the western foot of the Greater Khingan Mountains is responsible for guarding the area from Aershan to Songbeier Port on the China-Mongolia border. The camouflage-colored sentry tower stands on the top of the mountain, guarding the northern frontier of the motherland like a guard.

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2014, a "veteran" was welcomed here.

  Wearing a camouflage winter training combat uniform, he saw patrol officers and soldiers on the way to the border line. He got out of the car and checked the patrol equipment while understanding the status of his duties. Facing the officers and soldiers who gathered around him, he said emotionally: "You crawled on the ice and lay in the snow to patrol and guard the motherland. The motherland and the people are grateful to you!"

  This "veteran" is none other than President Xi Jinping. The four words "climbing on ice and lying on snow" vividly demonstrate the harsh natural conditions of the northern border and the tenacious qualities of the border guards who are not afraid of wind and snow. They also convey President Xi's heartfelt concern for the soldiers.

  The snow crunched under his feet. President Xi saw ice on the eyelashes of the soldiers and frost on their windshields. He took off his gloves and held the hand of a soldier tightly, asking: "Cold weather Are you comfortable with it? How many hours and kilometers do you need to patrol every day?”

  The soldier’s name was Wu Xiaokang. He later recalled: “Chairman Xi’s hands were very warm, like his father’s hands.” A photo of Wu Xiaokang shaking hands with Xi Jinping hangs in the corridor of the company. He said, “I can’t make a good company.” I can't even sleep."

  Subsequently, President Xi Jinping climbed the steep steps to the Triangle Mountain post at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters in weather of more than minus 30 degrees Celsius, braving the biting cold wind.

  He carefully inspected the duty facilities and internal affairs settings, solemnly signed his name on the observation register, patted the chest of the sentry Zhang Wei, arranged his equipment, and said kindly: "Today, I will be on duty with you."

  In February of the following year, President Xi Jinping wrote back to the officers and soldiers of a company of a border defense regiment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region where the Triangle Mountain post is located, encouraging them to promote the goal of strengthening the army and take root in the company and border defense, and to make new contributions to building a security and stability barrier in northern Xinjiang of the motherland!

  "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe as my son." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the troops, walking on the border, going to the plateau, boarding the deck, entering the cockpit... When the New Year is coming, no matter how full the schedule is, President Xi will always set aside time to express condolences to the grassroots troops and care about the welfare of the officers and soldiers.

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2013, at an experimental training base of the Air Force deep in the desert, Chairman Xi’s first words when he saw the officers and soldiers were, “I have been thinking about you all, and I came here specially to see you”;

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2017, while inspecting the troops stationed in Zhangjiakou, he asked with concern whether the soldiers could take hot showers and whether the dormitories were cold at night;

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2019, at the officers and soldiers’ dormitory of the Beijing Garrison Area, he warned “the officers and soldiers of the National Flag Guard should wear thin clothing and pay attention to keeping warm and cold”;

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2023, he cordially encouraged the Navy's 173th formation to spend a fighting Spring Festival at sea, protect the motherland's maritime borders, and did not forget to send New Year blessings for the Year of the Rabbit.

  …………

  Every word of concern and every warm and strong handshake embodies Chairman Xi’s deep love for soldiers.

  In addition to caring about their daily lives, Xi Jinping also pays special attention to the ideological conditions of the soldiers.

  Picture after picture, object after object, banner after banner... At the beginning of 2016, President Xi Jinping visited the former 13th Group Army Military History Museum.

  When he heard the story of the Red Army soldiers who were willing to endure hunger but left half of their belts with them to "go to Yan'an to meet Chairman Mao," Chairman Xi said with deep emotion: "This is the power of faith, that is, the iron heart and the party A vivid portrayal of the march." He earnestly urged everyone to explore and make good use of the red resources in the army, enrich the connotation of the "red gene transmission from generation to generation" project, strengthen the education of party history, military history and glorious traditions, and ensure that officers and soldiers always obey the party Then follow the party.

  "I have known the story of Wang Jie since I was a child. Wang Jie is my hero!" At the end of 2017, Chairman Xi entered the "Wang Jie Class".

  "Come, let's sit down and talk!" Chairman Xi greeted everyone casually, and the soldiers gathered around Chairman Xi and sat down. He encouraged everyone to learn and practice the spirit of "two fears", strengthen the cultivation of fighting spirit and fighting style training, inherit the red blood, and be a good warrior like Wang Jie in the new era.

  The chilly weather could not stop the warmth surging in the hearts of the officers and soldiers. Everyone sang Liang Ge in unison to express their feelings to Chairman Xi - "We carry Wang Jie's guns; we sing Wang Jie's songs. First, we are not afraid of hardship, and second, we are not afraid of death. We are dedicated to the revolution and will always follow the party..."

  The loud singing echoed in the camp for a long time.
