Patrol vehicles driving on
On the winding and rugged mountain road
Gravel scattered everywhere
To reach the Zhongji No.3 boundary marker

Need to pass through large grasslands
"Jiudao Bend" and Ripple Beach
I also need to climb a 300 meter iron ladder
When driving on roads above the "nine bends"
Due to the thick snow accumulation
Vehicle unable to continue driving

The female soldiers must get off and walk on foot
They support each other in their difficult journey
Not long after
We arrived at the foot of the mountain
Less than 300 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain
But the slope is over 70 degrees

Looking from afar, 1377 steps
Like a ladder leading straight to the clouds
Going higher and higher
The rarer the oxygen, the more it becomes
The footsteps of the female soldiers became heavier and heavier
Even slight altitude sickness occurred

But everyone didn't give up easily
After more than 20 minutes of arduous trek
The boundary marker finally appeared in everyone's sight
At the moment of seeing the boundary marker
The exhaustion along the way swept away
The female soldiers charged excitedly towards the boundary marker

Wipe and paint the boundary monument red
On the summit of the snowy mountain, the cold wind rustles
The patrol team stands in front of the boundary marker
Facing the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland
Solemn oath
Oath to defend the borders for the motherland and the people

Garrison border defense for over 20 years
Today, I truly appreciate
"Father's deep-seated sentiments towards guarding the border"
Salute to border soldiers
