A wedding at an altitude of 4269 meters

The wedding at an altitude of 4269 meters refers to a solemn wedding held by detachment policeman Song Jian and his wife Su Qian in the witness of the boundary monument.

8,000 miles is the distance that policeman Song Jian of the Aksu Border Management Detachment in Xinjiang used to go home, and it is also the distance between Shandong girl Su Qian and her lover. In order to reunite with her husband, Su Qian resolutely quit her job in her hometown in Shandong in 2021, traveled thousands of miles to Aksu, and became a nurse at the Second People's Hospital of Aksu Prefecture. Although the two are now only more than 100 kilometers apart, their wedding has been postponed for two years.

"When the mission is over, I will take leave and go home to marry you." Su Qian heard this sentence many times in the past two years, but she never waited for the wedding. As the wife of a border police officer, Su Qian always said to her husband, "You don't have to explain so much, I understand everything." Although his wife understood, Song Jian understood that his wife had always wanted a wedding. So, on the eve of International Women's Day on March 8th, Song Jian took Su Qian to the border where he was stationed and held a special wedding for his wife in front of the border monument as a holiday gift.

My thoughts after watching this wedding:

This different wedding is very touching, because what I see is not the same formality, but the sincere feelings of the newlyweds under the boundary monument. outpouring. Even though there was no beautiful wedding dress, no relatives or friends present, and no ring exchange, this simple wedding lasted only ten minutes with the wedding march sung by people.

But this simple wedding is particularly sacred to Song Jian and Su Qian. They can still live a sweet and warm life in the future. The group of them marched for nearly two hours and arrived at the boundary marker at an altitude of 4,269 meters. The bride understood the significance of her husband stationed here. You protect the country, and I will protect you; pay tribute to the police who guard the border for the country; pay tribute to the families who silently contribute.
