Bound by duty: Border protectors in China's Xinjiang

00:46

Along China's vast borderlands, a devoted group known as border protectors stands guard. These ordinary citizens, driven by loyalty and quiet determination, patrol the frontiers and assist border management in safeguarding the nation's boundaries.

At Tomur Peak in the Tianshan Mountains, in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, border protectors are bound together like seeds of a pomegranate, closely united, guarding the land they call home. Their devotion, passed from generation to generation, ensures that China's borders remain secure and strong.
