　　On the border between China and Vietnam, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and the grass and trees on the Flint Pingshan were wilting.

　　On June 4, Cheng Junhui, a class of minesweeper soldiers from the third team of the Yunnan Military Region, went to the Sino-Vietnamese border minefield in Funing, Yunnan as usual in "armor". "Beep beep…" When the search reached the mountainside, the mine detector in his hand detected the tripping lightning fuse.

　　Wearing 14 kilograms of protective clothing, he endured the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius, knelt on one knee, holding his breath… Cheng Junhui successfully eliminated the fuse. But at this moment, the boulder under his feet suddenly collapsed, Cheng Junhui unfortunately fell to the bottom of the valley more than 30 meters deep, and his young life was forever frozen framed at the age of 22.

　　It didn’t take long for Cheng Junhui’s sacrifice in mine clearance to attract the attention of netizens. Many netizens lamented his sacrifice, paid tribute to him, and hoped that he would go well. Cheng Junhui, for his spirit of devoting himself to mine clearance regardless of personal safety, was called "Qiu Shaoyun in the minefield" by netizens.

　　Defender of the people

　　Cheng Junhui’s family joined the army in three generations. He grew up listening to the stories of his parents’ military generation, and planted the seeds of serving the country in the army very early in his heart. In 2012, Cheng Junhui became a soldier as he wished.

　　"Clearing mines for the people and enhancing the glory of the military flag," Cheng Junhui wrote in his diary.

　　After less than four years in the army and only two years in the party, he used his actions to fulfill the oath he had made.

　　The Sino-Vietnamese border minefield still has many minefields and minefields, and a large number of mines, artillery shells and other explosives remain. It is a dangerous mixed minefield, known as the "death zone". With the opening and development of the border area, the hidden dangers of mines that have not been eliminated have become increasingly prominent.

　　In early 2015, the Yunnan Military Region received the third major mine clearance mission on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the battle immediately "started." After learning the news, Cheng Junhui, who was participating in field training, was the first to submit an application to the organization.

　　"Landmines don’t recognize people, so you have to weigh it carefully!" "You are the only child in the family, what if there is an accident with your parents?" Relatives and friends have dissuaded, but Cheng Junhui, who has made up his mind, is unmoved.

　　"I know he wasn’t impulsive," said Xu Maojun, an engineer company instructor in a brigade. Cheng Junhui also submitted an application during the last peacekeeping mine clearance, but it was not possible due to the number of people. "Cheng Junhui is the training leader of the company, and we didn’t want to let him go. But considering his strong will, the organization approved his application."

　　"To clear the frontier of landmines and safeguard the happy life of the people." Cheng Junhui took this creed to heart.

　　Tu Shouhua, a villager in the Zhonghe Group in Miaoba Village, Tianpeng Town, Funing County, had his right leg broken by a landmine 20 years ago. He hates landmines very much.

　　"There are landmines in the land fort behind my house, and livestock have been killed, but there are no signs, so it is not included in the plan of the army to clear the mines." Tu Shouhua said that he found the army leader to ask for the removal of landmines on the mountain. At this time, a soldier took the initiative to step forward to survey the minefield. He later learned that the soldier was Cheng Junhui.

　　For minesweepers, going to a minefield without information represents a significant risk.

　　"Cheng Junhui led the team to completely remove the thunder from the minefield of the bunker. In the future, I will toast him with a glass of wine every year on his memorial day." Tu Shouhua said movingly.

　　A kind-hearted "warm man"

　　In Cheng Junhui’s hometown in Chongqing’s longevity district, his father, Cheng Zhiyue, looked at the plums and chickens under the trees and said sadly: "I can’t wait for Junhui to come back to eat again."

　　In his father’s eyes, Cheng Junhui has always been a filial and sensible child. In February this year, Junhui sent home a brand of toothpaste that the local government condolences to. "He said he is not used to it. We all know that he wants to let his family use good things!"

　　Later, Cheng Zhiyue went to the place where Cheng Junhui died. He learned from the captain that Cheng Junhui sacrificed himself when he took the initiative to work in the most dangerous area. "This child’s temper is like this, thinking more for others and less for himself," Cheng Zhiyue said.

　　"Junhui is a kind-hearted’warm man ‘." Li Siyang, the monitor of the fourth class of mine clearance, told reporters that while working in the Lijiawan minefield in April this year, he fainted from heatstroke and fell to the ground. Cheng Junhui left the kettle to him, and one person set medicine and exploded under the high temperature. When the comrades brought water to the operation point, they found that Cheng Junhui, who was almost collapsed and his lips were white, was chewing on grass roots and leaves to draw water.

　　Step by step on the minefield, in the face of life and death, Cheng Junhui cherishes the friendship of comrades as much as he cherishes life.

　　Comrade-in-arms Li Shuming couldn’t forget that the smoking grenade had fallen to the ground, and it was Cheng Junhui who used his body to build a "retaining wall" for him; Comrade-in-arms Yang Zhenghai couldn’t forget that the minesweeper rolled into the bushes under the 70-meter steep slope, and it was Cheng Junhui who took the initiative to drag the minesweeper down the slope and said, "I have experience, next time I’ll go first"; Comrade-in-arms Mao Pan couldn’t forget that the mountain was about to collapse during the demining operation, and it was Cheng Junhui who risked his life and returned to the minefield to rescue him…

　　Pioneer of the Life and Death Minefield

　　"The dead body of the horse will not look back, and the fine martial arts will be the vanguard of mine sweeping," Cheng Junhui wrote on the application to participate in mine sweeping. Three and a half years in the army, more than a thousand days of fine martial arts. Cheng Junhui’s military career is the process of using fine martial arts to create a blood totem.

　　In the demining field of life and death, it is necessary to have excellent skills to "arm wrestle" with the god of death, the mine. In order to simulate the real demining process, Cheng Junhui and his comrades often put on 14 kilograms of protective gear in high temperatures and practice mine detection, lying down, soil removal, and demining. Each action must be repeated hundreds of times. Because the mine detection needle pokes the rubber shoe similar to the rubber shell of the mine, he pokes the rubber shoe with the mine detection needle every day to find the feel, and his rubber shoe is covered with dense small holes.

　　Sometimes there was no thunder in the queue, and Cheng Junhui would also leave his heart torn in the diary: "I didn’t dig out a single thunder, and I was a little lost in my heart, but sooner or later I will improve…"

　　Danger is everywhere in the demining field of life and death. The high temperature is extremely hot, the rain and fog are frequent, and the poisonous insects attack people… Every inch the minesweeper advances, there is a little more danger. The minesweeper should detect the suspicious area one by one with a lightning needle, and the distance between each needle should not exceed 3-4 cm.

　　The soldiers put on heavy protective suits for demining operations in hot weather many times. Sometimes the insects and ants got into the protective suits, causing the soldiers to sting and palpitate. But Cheng Junhui always endured until the demining task was successfully completed. Dancing with the god of death, he knew that when demining, he must be focused on nothing, otherwise if he is not careful, there is a risk of casualties from the mine. After the mission, his body was wet from the inside out, and his close-fitting clothes could even wring out water, and part of his skin turned red to purple and began to fall off.

　　Since participating in the demining mission, Cheng Junhui has worked for a total of 130 days and about 910 hours, delivering 3.2 tons of mine clearance blasters, removing more than 120 mines, grenades and other explosives, making him a recognized demining expert in the team.

　　Now, the minefield swept by Cheng Junhui has regained its green color, and the herding flute and cowbell are echoing in the mountains. One user solemnly wrote: "Salute to the heroes! Because of your existence, we have a peaceful and happy life!" And his iron-like responsibility also inspired his comrades to continue to fight in the "death zone".
