Taherman Border Defense Company - "Border Garrison Unity Willow", connected by roots to defend the border. The PLA Daily reporter Fei Shiting, Qian Zongyang, and Li Lei held a friendly activity with the local people. Peng Yuan photographed Taherman, meaning "surrounded by mountains on all sides" in Tajik. Taherman Township, Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang, is a place where the officers and soldiers of the Taherman Border Defense Company of the Xinjiang Military Region are stationed year-round. Under the joint protection and construction of generations of military and civilian forces, this place presents a delightful scene of abundant birth opportunities. During the golden autumn season, the reporter and his team visited the company. In the company camp, green willows grow in shade and Gesang flowers bloom. Only the towering Muztag Peak behind the barracks reminds us that this used to be the desert Gobi in the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau. From sowing seeds to taking root in the highlands, from being barren to eye-catching green, from watching each other and helping each other to working together to stabilize the border and strengthen defense... Taherman has witnessed the blood and sweat shed by generations of border guards and soldiers, as well as the legendary stories of military and civilian unity as one rock. Heading north from the campsite, 14 vegetable greenhouses are arranged in a row. In the vegetable base, there are over a dozen types of fruits and vegetables, including chili peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, etc., growing happily. This is the "vegetable basket" for the people of all ethnic groups in Taherman Township. Without the help of company officers and soldiers, there would be no vegetable base here, and we wouldn't be able to establish our roots and live a good life here. "Tian Yingguo, the head of the vegetable base, passionately told reporters about that unforgettable experience. Growing vegetables was once a luxury on the Pamir Plateau, with an average elevation of over 4000 meters. More than 20 years ago, Tian Yingguo came to Taherman Township from Zhangye, Gansu to work. When repairing the barracks for the company, he found a patch of green vegetables in the greenhouse. He was moved and said, "If only I could also grow vegetables on the plateau." Soon after, Tian Yingguo used all his savings to build his own vegetable greenhouse. However, he sowed the seeds eagerly, and the sprouts either froze to death or died from heat. At that time, I was so anxious that my mouth was full of bubbles, "Tian Yingguo recalled, seeing that his hard work was about to" float in the water ". He quickly sought advice from the company officers and soldiers. Replacing soil, raising seedlings, composting... The officers and soldiers poured out their years of accumulated planting experience and helped him grow the first crop of vegetables with their hands. Since then, the greenhouse has had bumper harvests year after year, and my days have become increasingly prosperous, "Tian Yingguo smiled and told reporters. Now, he has built the largest melon, fruit, and vegetable base in the county, and the various fruits and vegetables he grows have become popular in the local market. In the honor room of the company, there is an old photo of officers and soldiers donating money to aid education 16 years ago - in the picture, the then company instructor Bai Xueyuan gives stationery to a Tajik boy. Next to her, a Tajik girl wearing a red cap was holding a new backpack given by the officers and soldiers, with a happy face on her face. On July 1st this year, company officers and soldiers held a military civilian joint construction activity with teachers and students of the boarding primary school in Taherman Township. When female teacher Kanihan Bazargamiri visited the company honor room, she pointed to the little girl in the photo and excitedly said, "That's me!" Kanihan Bazargamiri told reporters the story behind that photo. Kaniahan Bazargamiri was born in a poor Tajik family. Four brothers and sisters lived on their father's meager income.
