In recent days, armed police officers and soldiers stationed in Qiemo County, Xinjiang, deep in the Taklamakan Desert, are busy dismantling shelves and moving equipment. Because, they are moving. It is said that revolutionary soldiers move wherever they need it. For officers and soldiers from all over the world, the camp is their new home and their new "comrades-in-arms". I have been here for more than 30 years, and with the order, I will soon say goodbye to every tree and every tree here.

Now, the time for the relocation is very close to the determined relocation. In two days, the officers and soldiers will move out of the old camp that has been stationed for more than 30 years and to the new camp more than 700 kilometers away. Although the conditions here are extremely difficult, the officers and soldiers have long been accustomed to the wind and sand here, the desolation here, the vast desert Gobi, and the life of soldiers watching soldiers counting stars at night during the day. Suddenly speaking, I said I wanted to leave, and there was always too much reluctance. Today, let us walk into this model squadron of the armed police force, and into this group of lovely officers and soldiers to feel their attachment to this "home" and their parting feelings.
● The different wonderful things in the desert and Gobi, let us experience
→Presist in a position and guard the security of a place

"On duty for one minute, be alert for sixty seconds." The officers and soldiers stood on the high guardhouse, regardless of the severe cold and heat, the wind and sun, and they always held the steel guns in their hands tightly. They did not have tears of homesickness, only their strong eyes shining everywhere; they did not have tired figures, only their tall figures wandering around the world; they did not have the thought of retreating, only their oath to guard the frontier without regrets. "On duty is fighting, and the sentry is the battlefield." They are the desert guards, the patron saint of this desert.
→Training is to win the battle. Bleeding and sweating without tears, peeling and flesh without falling behind.

The officers and soldiers said that youth without hard work is pale, life without hard work is tasteless, and the youth of soldiers is written with sweat and hard work. In this hot police camp, the officers and soldiers practice in the winter and the summer. They screamed on the training ground, and they all looked like little tigers. There is no richness and colorfulness of the world of flowers here, but only the day and night of struggling on the training ground. They write their "colorful" youth with sweat! I remember one time the squadron organized a military exercise. The fourth squad leader Jiang Bo insisted on running the 400-meter obstacle with injuries. He no longer had the strength to stand up when he crossed the finish line. His comrades were all infected by his spirit and his enthusiasm for training was unprecedentedly high. Who is hero and who is hero, let’s watch it on the training ground!
→Learn strong ideas

Political learning is an important way for us to develop strong ideas and improve our ideological and political awareness. Here, the army has taught us how to be a person, how to deal with things, and how to be a qualified soldier. By carrying out activities such as small classes, small cards, small radios, small programs, small competitions, small comments, small analysis, and small stories, the officers and soldiers learned knowledge and understood the truth during the activities. I still remember when the instructor started eight churches, he told us the story of a girl who did not come home to see her mother because she went to school and did not see her mother for the last time until her mother passed away. In order to express her deep gratitude and love for the great mother, she created a classic song "Gratitude Heart". Only by letting us know that only a person who truly knows how to be grateful can he understand self-esteem and self-love, and be self-reliant and self-improvement. We must dedicate our filial piety to our parents, give care to others, dedicate our love to society, dedicate our loyalty to the motherland, and leave our confidence to ourselves!

Squadron Since its establishment, through the hard work of generations of officers and soldiers, the Gobi desert has turned into a small garden on the sunset. The existence of olive green has given a green camp in the desert.Because the desert Gobi is very alkaline, nothing can survive in the courtyard and vegetable fields of the squadron. In order to improve the soil, they dug out the alkaline soil and transported it back to good soil from the people a few kilometers away. After years of improvement, the camp has green trees and shady trees, and the vegetable fields are abundant and harvested, which fully meets the living needs of the officers and soldiers.
→Cultural activities colorful

Although this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of duty, the officers and soldiers enjoy hardships and face work and life with smiles. The life in the police camp in the desert is still colorful. During major festivals, veterans demobilized, and new recruits were sent to the center, the squadrons would organize literary and artistic evenings. Festivals written and performed by officers and soldiers would always make everyone laugh. The performance of the waist drum team is also a major feature of the squadron. The officers and soldiers danced and sang, and the laughter filled the entire camp.
→Finally, a set of beautiful camp pictures, let us keep this beautiful camp in mind again!

● We are leaving today, listen to what the officers and soldiers say
★The new recruits’ comments: I am the last gay wolf.

I am a new recruit and came to Qiemo in December 2016. When I first came to the squadron, I heard the squad leader say that the people in our squadron are all murderous and murderous wolves who dare to steal the four seasons of fruits and fruits from the yellow sand field and dare to pass through the yellow sand waves on the training ground. There are only the fallen Qimo wolf, and the non-give-girl wolf. The more difficult the wolf is, the more fierce and resolute the person is; the more difficult the person is, the more tenacious the person is. For eight months, I have never known whether I am a qualified gem. I may not be fast enough to be as roaming as my comrades; I may not be flexible enough to be able to leaps across the wall like my comrades; but when I am most tired and painful, I will not give up. If I give up, I will never become a gem. When I thought my legs could no longer move, my comrades pushed me silently behind me. When I thought I could not climb over the high wall, the squad leader patiently taught me that at that moment, I knew that wolves live in groups and people are united. With the help of my comrades, I am like a young wolf, gradually following everyone's footsteps. My eyes are more elite, my will is stronger. In the face of challenges, I no longer retreat. In the face of setbacks, I become more courageous, because I am a murderous wolf. When the wolves migrate, they change their names, but they cannot change their iron-bending qualities. I will remember the legend of Qiemo Wolf in my heart, and I will implement the spirit of Qiemo Wolf in my life. I am proud because I am the last Qimolang.
★ Privates comments: Comrades, I really didn’t expect that you were the one who left first.

I am Private and came to Qiemo in December 2015. The squadron is my closest comrade. When I first met you, I didn’t like you. The wind and sand that swept over us brought us endless cleaning; the unpredictable power outages brought us countless troubles; only by looking up at the stars on the sentry can we feel your quiet beauty.
600 days and nights, I found that you have changed. The wind and sand in front of you seemed to be you wanting to get closer to me. The sudden black lights are like your pranks on me. The starry sky at night is still so shining, and you are even more mysterious under the moonlight. Actually, I know that you have not changed, because I am familiar with every inch and every meter of yours. The walls on this side have fallen off, the glazed tiles on the other side have faded, and you just look older. However, I don’t want to paint you with wall mud and paint you with rouge again, so that I can see your truest and most beautiful appearance, because this is the last chance.
"Comrades-in-arms", I really didn't expect that you would leave first. You can't even wait to say goodbye to us one by one, you can't even see us going from a ball of fire to a sky full of stars, but please rest assured, because when we think about it again, the first thing we think of is you; one day, we will come back and reunite with you.
"Comrades-in-arms", I really didn't expect that you would be the first to leave. Goodbye, "Comrades-in-arms", goodbye, Qie. Let me salute you for the last time as a soldier.
salute!
★Non-commissioned officers’ comments: Thank you for your company for being with you for many years.
The honors we have received. Photo by Xu Wenjun
I am a non-commissioned officer and came to Qiemo in September 2008. Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty, and I will go wherever the organization needs me. I resolutely chose to join the army and left my hometown where I gave birth to me and raised me to Qiemo. However, now I know more about every tree and every tree here than my hometown - the bushes there were planted when I was a new recruit, and I have to turn over that ridge field more than ten times a year. The broken carpet on the basketball court was pasted by myself. The low wall that flew past then has now lost its green outfit. Where are you who were comrades who stepped on this land with me? After nine springs and autumns, I sent my old comrades away from here and welcomed my new comrades into this barracks. What remains unchanged is the sandy land of Qiemo, the doors and windows of this dormitory, the nine springs and summers, and the nine autumns and winters of Qiemo. From the building gate to the camp gate, 64 steps; from the back gate to the breeding farm, 52 meters; from here to my hometown, Hubei, it is more than 3,300 kilometers; from here to my second home, I just need to open my eyes, because I am here. Every day I get up and gather, study and train, open fields to sow seeds, feed chickens and raise ducks, fight and play with comrades, look at the Chuyang on the ward with comrades, and laugh with comrades on the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. However, how long can such a day last, a month? One week? Or is it only this last day left? I don't know, but I know that the moment I heard the military order for relocation, I had to leave here. Qimo, when I left, I hope you can rain heavily and wet the land like me. Qimo, when I left, I hope you can shine brightly on the sun, just like me, say goodbye with the best side!
★Squadron cadres’ comments: This is the best classroom in life.

I am the platoon leader, and I have reported from July 2017 to the end of the year. I knew that I was going to get the final time, and I was hesitant. This was indeed a great opportunity to set aside and guard the border, but when facing the reality of the five difficult areas, it was false to say that I did not hesitate. It was precisely with such confusion that it took nearly ten hours, a long distance of more than 700 kilometers, crossing the vast desert, and enjoying the artistic conception of "only a desolate desert, no desolate life", that I came to Qiemo. What greeted me was the celebrating August 1st song competition, and the passionate singing of the officers and soldiers swept away my confusion. In the following days, I began to get familiar with this place. What kind of officers and soldiers are there! Work hard on the training ground, a stream of yellow sand rolled over, rubbed her face, and continued to practice; on the basketball court, the fine sand slipped her feet, got up, and continued to fight; on the guardhouse, the wind and sand were confused, rubbed her eyes, and continued to stand. During the break, I asked them, don’t you think the environment is difficult, don’t you feel tired? The answer was that of course it was hard and tiring, but the squadron took root here and the home was here. The old squad leader told me that the Corps has the spirit of poplar and the spirit of Qiemo, and we are Qiemo, growing in difficulties and surpassing in adversity.
Originally, I hope to move as soon as possible so that I can work and live in a more comfortable environment. But now, I hope to stay here for more time, see more of the Qiemo spirit of the squadron, and appreciate more of the Qiemo scenery that gave birth to this Qiemo spirit.

Today, we are really leaving. Although there are ten thousand reluctances, we still have a new mission to call. We will face the dawn and move to a new position with our heads raised! Goodbye, and last! Goodbye, comrade-in-arms!
