🌟 Have you ever wondered who takes care of the Great Wall of China? Well, let me tell you an amazing story! 🏰
In a small village called Shixia, nestled in Beijing’s Yanqing District, the Great Wall towers nearby. Back in the 1980s, the villagers noticed that their part of the wall was starting to crumble. 😢 Instead of just watching it decay, a group of brave volunteers decided to take action! 💪
These volunteers worked hard to repair and protect the wall near their homes. They loved the Great Wall and wanted future generations to enjoy it too. Isn’t that awesome? 🤩
Fast forward to recent years, and these duties have been passed on to official Guardians. Guess what? These Guardians are also from Shixia Village! 🏡 They use their local knowledge to help professional restoration workers. Together, they strive to preserve and promote the Great Wall and its unique heritage. 🌉
In May 2024, the villagers received a special letter from President Xi Jinping. He thanked them for their incredible efforts in protecting the Great Wall. 🎉 How cool is that?
This story shows how a community can make a big difference. Maybe someday, you can help protect something important too! 🌎❤️
