Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, met with representatives from all ethnic groups and all walks of life in Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday. Burumahan Maoleduo, recipient of the national honorary title of "the people's role model," expressed what she most wanted to say to the general secretary, "I have been guarding and protecting the border since I was 19 years old, and even if it is with my last breath, I will defend the frontier of the motherland."
