00:00Hello, everyone. My name is Su Junyu. I am a frontier soldier of the People's Liberation Army of China.
00:07Today, I have prepared a guide to the frontier to let our friends from all over the world know what our frontier life is like.
00:14We are the No. 1 Eastern Shao in the East.
00:18Our main task every day is to patrol to ensure the safety of the environment.
00:23Before we start today's patrol, let me introduce my patrol unit.
00:28This is our patrol car.
00:31It's called Mou Shi.
00:33In Chinese, it means a brave soldier.
00:36Just like us.
00:39Next to me is a motorcycle snow plow.
00:41This thing, this weather, this place is just right.
00:46There is also a leg.
00:49You have to believe that without this leg, you can't get anywhere.
00:52Let's talk about my outfit.
00:55This is our snow plow outfit.
00:57It's an old-fashioned thing.
00:59It's like Harry Potter's cloak.
01:01It can make me move in an instant.
01:04And my secret weapon.
01:06Chinese people pay special attention to the warmth of their feet.
01:09Because we all believe that as long as the feet are not cold, the body is not cold.
01:13Finally, let me introduce my friend, Tian Long.
01:15His English name is Sky Wolf.
01:21Today is Saturday.
01:22Everyone is busy preparing for New Year's Eve.
01:24For us Chinese, this is the most important meal of the year.
01:28Families gather here.
01:29After eating this meal, the Spring Festival is about to begin.
01:31But for our border soldiers, we have to stick to our posts.
01:35Just like the plastic soldier I trained outside.
01:40Who sneezed at me?
01:41Then let me check on him again.
01:44How's the food?
01:46Monitor, are you busy?
01:47I'm busy.
01:48I'm trying it.
01:50It smells so good.
01:52Have a taste, baby.
01:53Okay.
01:57This dish is called Jing Jiang Rou Si.
01:59It's a very famous dish in the north of China.
02:03It smells so good.
02:05They seem to be making dumplings over there.
02:07Let me show you how to make a thin-skinned dumpling.
02:13Put the prepared ingredients into the dough.
02:19Just use a little bit of flour.
02:24It's done.
02:26Of course, we will also prepare some special fillings.
02:33For example, hard coins.
02:37Dumplings wrapped in hard coins represent good luck.
02:39If you eat this dumpling, you will have good luck in the new year.
02:42Everyone, wish me luck.
02:44Let me make a secret mark.
02:45I'm full.
02:46Let's go. We still have a big thing to do.
02:49Every morning, when the sun rises, we will raise the national flag in Shao Suo.
02:54Our Shao Suo is located at the easternmost end of the mainland.
02:57It's the place where the sun welcomes the motherland.
03:00Today is the first day of the new year.
03:02The first day of the new year is very special.
03:05Although it's snowing heavily,
03:08nothing can stop us from raising the national flag.
03:12This is our sacred moment.
03:16Happy New Year!
