Ever heard of the Pamir Plateau? ποΈ It’s a high mountain region in the Chinese mainland, often called the “Roof of the World”! This amazing place is home to the Tajik ethnic group, known as the “guardians of the border.” π‘οΈ
For over 70 years, the family of a man named Longjike Kader has been protecting these borders. Imagine that! Four generations of his family have dedicated their lives to keeping the land safe.
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ It all started with Longjike’s great-grandparents. They began patrolling the rugged mountains, making sure everything was okay. Then, their children took over, and then their grandchildren, and now Longjike continues the tradition!
They travel across the vast landscapes, from snowy peaks to deep valleys, watching over the border and witnessing the incredible changes in their homeland. π
Their story is one of courage, dedication, and love for their country. Isn’t it inspiring to think about a family that has given so much for so long? Maybe next time you hear about the Pamir Plateau, you’ll remember the brave guardians who call it home!
