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!
