(2004 Newsletter Report)
Like a gorgeous rainbow, it crosses rivers and snow peaks and extends from Xining to the majestic Potala Palace. It is like a white Hada, bearing care and expressing deep affection, connecting the mainland with the magnificent snowy plateau.
It is the famous Qinghai-Tibet line.
The officers and men of the Qinghai-Tibet Military Station Department of the General Logistics Department have been running around, fighting and sticking to this magical "heavenly road" for many years, forging loyalty to the motherland with the blood of youth and writing a chapter of loving the people with selfless dedication.
1In July, 990, the Central Military Commission signed an order to award this heroic unit the honorary title of "Model Station Department of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", and Jiang wrote an inscription for them: "Carry forward the revolutionary spirit of being particularly hard-working, especially patient and especially capable of fighting".
The "three specialties" are like a bright red flag flying high on the long Qinghai-Tibet line of more than 2,000 kilometers, inspiring officers and men to work hard, keep pace with the times and constantly create new glories.

"Six In the snow, July ice, August mountain closure, September winter, windy all year round."
In the plateau known as the "roof of the world" and the "forbidden area of life", the cold and lack of oxygen, the wind and sand are pervasive, and the harsh natural environment is the biggest enemy of the officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line.
However, in the past 50 years, it is on this thousand-year frozen soil with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters that generations of officers and men have built the first highway transportation line connecting the mainland and Tibet, laying the world's highest-altitude oil pipeline and national defense communication line. These three world-famous projects are praised by the people of Qinghai-Tibet as "lifeline", "energy line" and "information line".
1In August, 953, General Mu led his troops into no man's land and came to a river in the desert. Someone asked, "Where is Golmud?" General Mu took out a shovel and inserted it into the ground: "This is Golmud." Therefore, it has become the forefront of the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.
1956, marshal Chen yi inspected the Qinghai-Tibet line and highly praised the officers and men who cleared the way: "it's amazing that you brought Yan' an style to the plateau! "
Behind these legendary stories and brilliant achievements are the selfless dedication and silent sacrifice of countless officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line.
In the summer of 2003, a group of medical experts conducted online research services under the leadership of the head of the General Logistics Department. The female doctors stared at the deep purple faces of the officers and men, clutching a pair of big hands full of cracks and deep nails, and were all moved. When they measured that the blood pressure index of officers and men was only half of the normal value, they could not help but feel sour in their noses.
Experts once again confirmed the investigation results of relevant departments: due to cold and lack of oxygen, the incidence of altitude sickness of officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line reached 99.7%, and the change rate of organ function was 100%.
It is said that a self-employed man wanted to do fur business in Tibet and took a military vehicle up the mountain and walked halfway. He really couldn't stand the torture of lack of oxygen and returned halfway. He said: even if there are gold bricks there, I won't go.
The outside world is wonderful. "Houses, cars, tickets, seats, children ..." "Five-child graduation" is constantly being renovated. The officers and men here are still "hurting their bodies, suffering their wives, making mistakes in their children, losing their fathers and lacking tickets." However, they are "lack of oxygen and spirit" and "high altitude and higher standards", and they have always adhered to their spiritual defense and never wavered.
Over the past 60 years, hundreds of thousands of officers and men have struggled and contributed here. At present, there are still 3 12 "old plateaus" who have worked on the Qinghai-Tibet line for more than 20 years. Some grandparents and grandchildren have become "plateau people" for three generations; 1more than 500 college graduates are struggling at the grassroots level. ...
Yao Zhixiang is a senior engineer of 60 years old. 1975, he bid farewell to his wife and children and went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In 29 years, from the prime of life to the hoary temples, he wrote his own "works" on this "energy line": he carried out more than 20 technological innovations, solved more than 340 technical problems, and won the military scientific and technological progress award for three scientific research achievements, saving tens of millions of yuan for the army.
The oil pipeline section under the jurisdiction of Kunlun Mountain Pass Pumping Station is known as the "Tiger Mouth". During the maintenance, the soldiers found that the furnace channel was broken, and it was very difficult to remove the fault. Yao Zhixiang came from Golmud and plunged into the deafening computer room. He picked up the welding torch and got into the narrow stove. The sparks flying under the welding torch made Yao Zhixiang's throat and nostrils bleed. He just stood at a high temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius until all the old flues in the bore were cut off and replaced with new ones.
As the protagonist of the Qinghai-Tibet line, autobots are not afraid of risks and difficulties. They spend at least nine months on the Internet every year, delivering all kinds of materials to Tibet's border defense. On the way up the mountain, we were hungry for a full meal, cold for a hot meal, and sometimes even ate all the food, but everyone would rather tighten their belts than move the food shipped to the border. On the snowy road, it is a "convention" for officers and men to use coats as quilts and carriages as beds.
Generations of officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line have paid a huge price for the prosperity of the plateau and the important task of defending the country. More than 740 of them stayed on the plateau forever: some fell on the steering wheel, some died on the icy road, some slept in the trunk of the car guarding the goods, and some slept in the guest room of the military station forever. ...
The contribution of the widows of the victims is no less than their life dedication. More than 100 of them still live on the Qinghai-Tibet line, and most of them have not remarried. With their weak shoulders, they shoulder the burden of life, raise the elderly and raise children.
Li Wudao, the wife of Wang Dengzhu, former deputy head of the Third Automobile Corps, was only 28 years old when her husband died. She worked hard to raise three children and sent two of them to the army. When her son left, she took out her husband's military medal, which she had treasured for many years: "Son, go where your father didn't go ..."

Standing Committee of Station Department 12 people. The longest worked on the Qinghai-Tibet line for more than 30 years, and the shortest worked for more than 20 years. Tested by various hard environments and arduous tasks, their bodies are damaged to varying degrees, and some of them suffer from chronic diseases. But none of them proposed to leave the plateau, and they have been working hard and persisting in obscurity: each person is online 120 for more than 200 days on average every year.
Li Haigan, political commissar of the Army Station Department, fought in the plateau for 3 1 month. He often said: "A basic requirement for leading cadres is to ask subordinates to do it first." He spent the Spring Festival many times in the "three stops" at the highest altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet Line, and together with the officers and men, he packed jiaozi and had New Year's Eve dinner.
One year, Li Haigan and the comrades of the government went online to investigate. When eating at Wudao Liangbing Station, they found that the deputy stationmaster of this station had swollen eyes and was livid. Upon inquiry, the deputy stationmaster's transaminase index was on the high side, and he wanted to be treated in Xi 'an, but the holiday was coming, so he returned to the team on time.
Li Haigan's heart is very heavy. After returning to Golmud, he suggested that the Party Committee transfer the deputy stationmaster to Golmud with lower altitude and better conditions, and personally find a doctor to treat him.
The Party Committee "a group of people" deeply realized that in the face of urgent and dangerous tasks, their actual actions are more useful than shouting slogans a hundred times.
1998 On the eve of the Spring Festival, Naqu, Ali, Shigatse and other places in Tibet suffered severe snowstorms. The officers and men who are preparing for the Chinese New Year, after receiving orders from their superiors, immediately acted and raided the car overnight.
On the first day of New Year's Day, Ji, Minister of the Military Station Department, led 105 large-tonnage transport vehicle, full of 1000 tons of relief materials, and sped away to the disaster area. Ji Lucheng knew in his heart that going over mountains and mountains to Tibet at this time would inevitably lead to a fierce battle. Ji drove the car to the front. He opened the window glass, put his head out of the window and let the snowflake hit his face. He is helping the driver find the way-the ravine is full of snow, and the road surface is covered with snow. Where is the ditch and where is the road can only be judged by the position of the mountain.
Mount Tanggula is just ahead, and the car is breathing heavily. The car behind is stuck in the snow pit. Ji and the soldiers jumped out of the car and shoveled snow with washbasins and shovels to open the way. The cold condenses snowflakes into ice cubes and hits the iron sheet of the car, making a "chirp" sound. When you are hungry, everyone will chew a compressed biscuit or chew an instant noodle; If you are thirsty, eat a handful of snow; When you are sleepy, just take a nap wrapped in a fur coat. ...
After 5 days and 5 nights, 105 finally delivered the materials to the disaster area. Herdsmen cheered and bowed their heads to thank them: "mamie, the Golden Pearl! Help bodhisattva! " "Kim mamie! Help bodhisattva! "
All previous Party committees of the Military Station Department have this understanding: people run online, thoughts move online, and things are done online. Where is the hardest, there are their footprints; Where the task is the most arduous, there are their figures. Today, when we take stock of our achievements, perhaps we should not forget their names: former minister, Wang Manzhou, Wei,; Former political commissar Zheng Mingbo, Li Lanchang, Ma Guolian, Du Kean, Fan and Wen Yimin. ...
It is they who, as the benchmark of the army, inspire the officers and men to complete the tasks entrusted by the motherland and the people with a good self-image. In the past 50 years, it has transported 765,438+ten thousand tons of goods and personnel, and received and sent all kinds of materials 1 ten thousand tons. It transported 3.6 million tons of oil, creating an output value of 654.38 billion yuan. Set up 1680 km national defense communication line and keep it open all day. The army was successively rated as "advanced unit in army management", "advanced unit in army equipment management" and "advanced unit in army training" by the four headquarters, and six grass-roots units and six individuals were awarded honorary titles by the Military Commission and the headquarters. In 200 1 year, the party Committee of the military station department was commended as the advanced party Committee of the whole army.

The military station along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is both a hard fortress and a warm home.
At the Tanggula Mountain Pumping Station at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, the "rooftop greenhouse" is warm and harmonious. Leek, celery, pepper, eggplant, etc. 10 Many kinds of vegetables are green. ...
At first, it was a barren land where nothing grew. It was the officers and men who dug up the frozen soil, removed the sand and gravel, and transported loess and cattle and sheep dung from hundreds of miles away. This "green landscape" is built on permafrost and has become a unique landscape that officers and men are proud of.
No pains, no gains. Today, more than 200 such greenhouses have been built on the entire Qinghai-Tibet line. They also pulled "hot soil" from hundreds of kilometers away to backfill, and built five non-staple food bases for producing rape, eggs and fresh fish on the Gobi Desert.
The dreams of generations have come true in a mythical way. The officers and men on the plateau bid farewell to the history of not eating fresh vegetables and vitamins. There is more than enough self-sufficiency in vegetables in summer, and the self-sufficiency rate of vegetables in winter reaches 60%. The dining style of grass-roots companies has changed from "pot rice" to "buffet", and the diet structure has gradually changed from "full of food and clothing" to "nutritious".
Following the success of the "vegetable basket" project, the "greening project" of hospital management has also been launched. The officers and men brought grass seeds from their hometown, moved saplings and persistently spread ideals and hopes on the snowy plateau. They afforested 222.2 hectares in the Gobi Desert and planted lawns of 65,438+2,000 square meters, which made the green coverage rate of the camp reach 25%. More than 60 camps were like more than 60 beautiful gardens, which injected youthful vitality into the desert plateau.
Patience is not bitter, success is achieved through hard work. Nowadays, the military stations along the line have realized hotel accommodation, heating, diversification of cultural life, dining in restaurants and mechanization of cooking operations.
In 2000, they invested more than 3 million yuan to build a local area network covering troops stationed in Xining, Dunhuang, Golmud and Lhasa. Nowadays, with a click of the mouse, you can browse the websites of headquarters and surrounding units; Through the e-mail system, the leaders of the Ministry can quickly give orders to the subordinate troops on the Qinghai-Tibet line and understand the various situations of the troops; With the opening of video conference system, Xining Network Center has realized "face-to-face" communication with all grass-roots network terminals of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the plateau with blocked information has ushered in a new era of information revolution.
After 50 years of hard work, the officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line have brought the atmosphere of modern civilization to the ancient and wild Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. On the journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way, people here will always remember the immortal achievements of "Golden Pearl mamie".
Why do we talk about wealth when we are poor?
Why do we stay away from happiness and not talk about sadness?
Why don't we be stingy with our youth?
Why should we drink loneliness as wine?
This is because the heavy steel gun is on the shoulder ... "
Plateau officers and the essence and connotation of Sang Men's "three specialties". It is not only a strong spiritual pillar for officers and men on the Qinghai-Tibet line, but also the spiritual wealth of the people's army, which will be passed down from generation to generation forever.
