Such a program contributed to tightening the close-knit bond between border residents and border guard troops. It helped encourage local ethnic communities to continue to join hands and stand united in building and firmly safeguarding territorial sovereignty and national border security. At the same time, it also promoted the tradition “when drinking water, remember its source,” and “the good leaves protect the worn-out ones,” contributing to the effective implementation of the Party, the State, and the military’s social security policies at the local level, ensuring that all individuals and families in the border areas under the unit’s responsibility welcome a joyful, warm, and safe Tet.
