Far above the plains, on the jagged ridges of Tomur Peak in the Tianshan Mountains, a quiet force stands watch over the nation’s frontier.
Known simply as border protectors, these ordinary citizens volunteer their time and skills to patrol frontiers and assist border management in safeguarding China’s borders.
At Tomur Peak in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, they are bound together like seeds of a pomegranate—closely united, sharing a deep loyalty to the land they call home.
Their devotion has been passed down through generations, a testament to the power of community in maintaining security and resilience along the vast borderlands.
In a world where global tensions can rise with little warning, the story of these border protectors reminds us that protecting borders is as much about shared duty and local commitment as it is about lines on a map.
