Kangxiwa Martyrs Cemetery

HHT D46 2010.08.10 Ten years ago, I was full of courage and didn't know what to fear. After arriving in Kashgar, I arrived at the western end of the journey. Then I went there and glanced at the map. I didn't even hesitate for a second and decided to go south into Tibet. The 219 National Road of the New Tibet Line is the most difficult of all routes into Tibet, with a total length of 2,143 kilometers. The zero-kilometer starting point monument in Yecheng, Xinjiang, is north, and ends at the 2,140-kilometer stone monument in Layu, Tibet, where it meets the 318 National Road. The whole journey of the Xintibet Line is desolate and long. Most of them (especially the Xinjiang section) are located in no-man's area, passing through the Pamir Plateau, Kunlun Mountain, Karakoram Mountain, Gangdis Mountain, Himalaya Mountain and other five mountains, crossing the roof of the world, connecting the world's first peak Everest, The world's second highest peak, Qiaogoli Peak, and the first mountain in Asia, Rinpoche, lie thousands of kilometers of desert Gobi and permafrost along the way, flanked by the mountains of perennial snow, the average altitude is more than 4,500 meters, the average annual temperature is -9 °C, and the icebergs are 16. Five of the roads are more than 5,000 meters, the highest in Shanghai. In 2013, the new Tibetan road was oiled, but it was still a sandy-soil drying board road in 10 years, and it was almost common in summer when the road was washed away by snow-capped mountains and meltwater. At that time, the "Tibetan Antelope" shuttle bus to and from Yecheng and Alishiquan River was not regular, and it took three days to travel alone. Waiting for this empty shuttle bus is usually not the choice to travel on this road, and the better choice is to take a more frequent truck or tanker. The three-day and three-night drive usually makes drivers happy to pick up a chat on the road and earn extra money. However, it will be more tired to take the truck. Usually the driver will keep driving day and night, and go to sleep as a back when he is tired, so he must be prepared to sit on the co-pilot for three days, and pay attention to safety. (The situation after the asphaltization of Xinzang Highway is not clear) At noon on the first day, I took a tanker at zero kilometers, and arrived in Shiquanhe Town in Ali District until the early morning of the fourth day. This section is the most barren section of the entire Xintibet Highway, more than 1,000 kilometers of roads with extremely rare villages and military stations, which are comforted by the spectacular scenery that is seen. After starting from zero kilometers in the Xinjiang section of Xinzang Highway, we passed Kudi Daxuan (3150M) Ma Zadaan (4969M) Black Cardaan (4909M) 30-li barracks Kangxiwadaan (4296M) Dahongliutan Qitaidaan (5170M) Quanquan Water Lake (Dead Mangou, 5118M) Quanjie Shandaxuan (5347M), After crossing the boundary, Shandaxu went into Tibet Ali, and a sentence was circulated up, called "Kudi Daxuan danger, like a ghost gate; Mazadaxuan tip, steep rise of five thousand three; black Kadaxuan whirl, ninety-nine bends; border Shandaxuan bend, reach out to touch the sky", and look almost the whole process is full of black grass. The metallic mountain body is even more daunting. Along the way, I often encountered roads that were washed down by snow-capped mountains and meltwater. According to the oil truck driver, he once went into Tibet because the road washed down and was trapped on the road for nearly a month. The soldiers and road workers who built the road were really respectful.

Dahongliutan to 30 miles barracks 126 kilometers, in the middle to cross the 4,269 meters of Consihuada plate, the highest altitude Consihua Martyrs Cemetery surrounded by mountains, here commemorates the soldiers defending the motherland. On the opposite mountainside is inlaid with eight white words "to carry forward the spirit of Karakoram", which is awe-inspiring and blood-boiling.

People will not forget, the motherland will not forget, the great martyrs will never die!
