As China’s National Day approaches, the remote village in the Wakhan Corridor, where China borders Afghanistan, is abuzz with cultural anticipation. Three young female cadres, affectionately known as the “Three Golden Flowers,” are leading the preparations for a unique celebration that blends tradition and unity.
The “Three Golden Flowers” have been working tirelessly with local herdsmen and border guards to organize a multi-ethnic garrison dance. This vibrant performance is not just a dance but a symbol of harmony among the diverse communities that call this border region home.
“Although we are far from the heart of the country, the nation is always close to our hearts,” said one of the cadres. “Through this dance, we express our love for the nation and showcase the rich cultural tapestry of our community.”
The Wakhan Corridor, a narrow strip of land in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is a melting pot of ethnic groups and traditions. The upcoming National Day celebration highlights the unity and dedication of those safeguarding China’s frontiers. The garrison dance, performed by people of various ethnic backgrounds, underscores the deep-rooted patriotism and cultural pride shared by the residents.
Local residents and visitors alike are expected to gather for the festivities, which promise to be a colorful display of costumes, music, and dance. The celebration not only honors the nation’s founding but also strengthens the bonds between the border communities and the rest of the country.
The dedication of the “Three Golden Flowers” exemplifies the spirit of service and commitment prevalent among young people in remote areas. Their efforts ensure that even in the farthest reaches of China, the significance of National Day is felt and celebrated with enthusiasm and unity.
