(230429) -- KHUNJERAB, April 29, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Soldiers patrol in Khunjerab, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 13, 2023. Gao Guanghui, a recruit who had just joined the army for 7 months, was shocked when he walked into the honor room of the border defense regiment in Khunjerab, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The regiment is based on the Pamirs, guarding the China-Pakistan border and Khunjerab Port. With an average altitude of 4,700 meters, the place is a "forbidden zone" for many people, as the temperature here can drop to as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the oxygen content is less than half of that in the plain area. Gao felt even more excited when he was on patrol with his squad leader Zhou Linping to the national border for the first time and renewed the boundary monument. "We are in a troop with glorious history. Now it's on you," Zhou said to Gao. Zhou, a veteran who had been in the regiment for 16 years, had mixed feelings when sayi
