Watching war movies grow up, in these movies, real-life actors play the roles of heroic soldiers and border guards. I hardly knew that I would have a chance to meet when I visited Nathu La, one of the highest mobile passes in India. The true hero was located at an altitude of 14,000 feet during the trip to Sikkim.
This is my first visit to the India-China border. Our driver managed to obtain a permit to visit the pass. In fact, I am only a few kilometers away from Donglang, where China and India faced off in 2017, which made me very excited. But breathlessness and dizziness, which I had never heard of until now, quickly swallowed me, and climbing the steep stairs to the border seemed like a daunting task.
Due to the high altitude, I felt so much headache that I almost gave up the idea of moving on because of fear of collapse. But curiosity and patriotic enthusiasm overcame me, and I climbed the steps, only to find that the border between India and China was only separated by barbed wire.
Just across from the concertina wire is China. I never thought in my life that I would see a Chinese soldier at close range. After a day's work, he stood four steps away, fetching water for dinner. At this moment, my mobile phone received a message from the mobile service provider-Welcome to China!
Some local residents told me that in the days before the confrontation in Donglang, military friendliness prevailed at the border of Nathula. Chinese soldiers are very friendly to tourists, and are even used to shaking hands and taking pictures with them-this may be their only source of entertainment at 14,000 feet.
But the tension after Donglang is obvious. Although Nathula remained peaceful on the whole, I could only manage to get a hostile look from the border. I wanted to step forward and interact with the Chinese soldiers there. When a wary Indian soldier pointed to a sign, it said: If you cross this line, you will land in China.
For people who are accustomed to reading news briefings on the Sino-Indian skirmish, it seems strange to see Chinese soldiers running errands across the border.
It is a unique sight to see Indian and Chinese soldiers braving the wind and rain. High altitude, isolation, and biting winds are some of the factors that unite them.
Signs warning of landmines are posted on both sides, and now it is hard to imagine any hospitality like a soldier. But when an Indian soldier asked his less friendly Chinese counterpart in Hindi, I was pleasantly surprised. He was busy preparing his meal across the concertina line: "Kya bana raha hai?" (What are you doing? ) He replied: "Cockroach. Do you want it?
