In the 166th Regiment of the 9th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, militia border guards Hou Rui and Shi Xiaoxue have a considerable reputation. As border guards for over half a year, they took advantage of their patrol duty to pick up their paintbrushes and create multiple wall and stone paintings that reflect the stories of border guards, becoming a beautiful scenery along the border. In the late autumn season, the reporter arrived at a certain location of the 166th regiment and saw two busy people outside the duty room. In front of the exterior wall, they were focused on creating a painting called 'Guardians'. You see, here we need to focus on depicting Galken's decisiveness when going down the canal, while the coldness of the water can be expressed in shades of blue and gray. ”Hou Rui pointed to the artwork and analyzed the creative details with Shi Xiaoxue. "Liao Xinjun's posture of tightly holding onto the cow's reins on the shore, as well as the concern on his face, can be highlighted with warm tones. One cold and one warm, can highlight the crisis at that time and convey the warmth that penetrates the chill." Shi Xiaoxue listened carefully and immediately re mixed the paint. Hou Rui explained that the material for this painting comes from an emergency rescue that occurred on a patrol road not long ago. At that time, herder Nursulitan's cow accidentally fell into the flood discharge channel. Border guard Galken jumped into the cold canal water without hesitation and cooperated with Liao Xinjun on the shore to successfully rescue the cow. Hou Rui, a colleague, captured this touching scene with her phone. After becoming a border guard, I often witnessed heartwarming scenes of teammates and herdsmen helping each other on the patrol road, and often listened to the old team members talk about the difficulties of patrolling the border. ”When it comes to the original intention of creation, Hou Rui's gaze turned to the sprawling border line and said emotionally, "We hope to record these stories through the paintbrushes in our hands, so that more people can understand the lives of border guards and add a touch of color to the border line we are guarding." Hou Rui and Shi Xiaoxue, who are the same age, both love painting. After coming to the border, the two quickly became good friends due to their common interests. However, as newcomers, the monotonous scenery and daily life of guarding the border made them feel somewhat uncomfortable. A few days later, a brightly colored and lifelike "Harvest Picture" jumped onto the wall, attracting passersby to stop and admire it, and they all praised it. This unexpected encouragement, like a spark, ignited the passion of the two of them to record the story of border protection with their paintbrushes. With the support of the leadership of the armed forces, they became the "cultural atmosphere arrangers" on the patrol line. From then on, Hou Rui and Shi Xiaoxue collected and recorded unforgettable moments in their border protection life, while using the outer walls of the duty room and the stones along the patrol road as canvases to create whenever they had time. They not only drew their own observations and feelings, but also gathered the experiences of other border guards to depict the impressive stories of border patrols one by one. The steadfast figures of the patrol team in the snowstorm, the five starred red flag fluttering in the wind on the border defense line, and the tranquil and magnificent scenery of the border under the sunset... Over the course of several months, vivid and beautiful paintings have captured these moving moments. They are like blooming flowers on the patrol road, injecting rich colors into the monotonous and arduous life of border protection, giving more vivid and intuitive displays to those busy figures. Looking at the increasing number of paintings on the patrol road, veteran border guard Jiang Qianqing was filled with emotion: "As people of our generation, stories of border protection are only kept in our stomachs and talked about. Now these young people have painted them on walls and stones with their paintbrushes, giving a more vivid expression to the spirit of border protection and reaching the hearts of the people." 27 year old militia border guard Yin Jiao is from the third generation of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and grew up in the border areas. I used to think that border protection was a practical task, and painting was just a leisurely way, "Yin Jiao said with a smile. These two girls are like little suns, wherever they go, they bring the light and the tropics, "said Aswu Agbai, a herdsman who spoke highly of them. The light and heat brought by the paintbrush quickly triggered more 'chain reactions'. The cultural and tourism department of the Ninth Division plans to include these paintings in the propaganda content of the Corps' red tourism route; Influenced by the sisters, many herdsmen also began to pick up brushes. They paint border guards, and I paint our homes, "said herder Maheshati with a smile. What surprised the two even more was that the 166th Youth League Middle School invited them to serve as off campus art counselors and regularly give painting classes to the students. Our paintings can step out of the border checkpoint and into the classroom, playing a greater role, which was never imagined before. ”The two of them exclaimed excitedly, "To be able to record the stories of border protection in a passionate way and depict the figures of border guards' struggle and dedication, we believe that all the efforts are worth it
