记者手记五月的西南边陲，潮湿闷热、满目葱茏。哀牢山脉的密林层叠，枝蔓交错、草木横生，蝉鸣与风声交织，雾气萦绕山间。清晨，我跟随南部战区陆军某旅十里村边防连巡逻分队向着72号界碑挺进。这是我第一次踏上这条边境巡逻路。临行前，官兵们携带装具，整齐列队。连长杜吉七林一声令下，搜索组、指挥组、预备组闻令而动。看着大家雷厉风行的作风，我对即将到来的跋涉，多了几分敬畏。巡逻车沿着蜿蜒山路盘旋前行，抵达山脚后便再无通路。余下的巡逻路程，全部需要徒步穿越原始密林。茂密的藤蔓肆意蔓延遮挡前路，雨水冲刷形成的小径深浅不一、泥泞湿滑，湍急的溪流总是横在前路，不知名的蛇虫不时惊扰……密林之中险象环生。数小时的跋涉过程中，沉重的喘息声、坚定的脚步声、战友间的提醒声，回荡在幽深山林。这条边境巡逻路，是对官兵体能与意志的双重考验。官兵的每一次前行，都要与潜藏的危险周旋。作为队伍的排头兵，班长杨光恺全程紧盯行进状态，提醒身后新兵注意脚下湿滑、警惕周边风险、保持队伍间距。惊险的山林间，有一棵普通的果树，那是他和妻子的爱情树。几年前的一次巡逻途中，杨班长偶遇一名进山摘果、意外崴脚的女生。一次出手相助，埋下了缘分的种子。密林为媒，山河为证，巡逻路上的相遇、相知直至相守，让戍边岁月多了一份人间温情，让深山边关的坚守不再孤单。队伍里，半年前刚入伍的新兵范鼎昕，是这次巡逻路上最年轻的兵。从河南远赴云南，跨越两千两百多公里，他毅然奔赴边关。被问及初心时，少年的眼神清澈而坚定。范鼎昕的父亲是一名退伍军人。从小受父亲熏陶，他热爱军旅、向往戎装，入伍后始终铭记父亲“少说多干、不怕吃苦、甘于吃亏”的叮嘱。在他心中，苦地方、累地方，才是建功立业的好地方。经过数小时跋涉，我们终于来到了72号界碑。全体官兵列队肃立，面向国旗庄严宣誓。“边防有我在，请祖国和人民放心……” 誓言铿锵，回荡在密林山河之间。山野无言、山河作证，一代代边防官兵，以青春为笔、坚守为墨，在祖国的边境线上不断续写忠诚答卷。 “山知道我，江河知道我，祖国不会忘记，不会忘记我……”暮色渐临，夕阳余晖为连绵的群山镀上金边，官兵们踏上返程的路途，放声唱起了歌谣。我走在巡逻队伍中间，听着身边官兵们沙哑却有力的歌声，望着暮色中沉默的群山和密林，也跟着轻轻哼唱起来。唱着唱着，鼻尖一酸，泪水在我的眼眶里打转。尽管没有多少人知晓他们的名字，没有多少人看过他们年轻的面孔，可他们依然在这里。在这样湿热的密林里，在这样寂寞的边关上，他们日复一日地走着、守着，为的是让我们安心地生活、安稳地睡去。哪有什么岁月静好，不过是有人替我们负重前行。哨位旁的平缓坡地上，矗立着一座戍边雕塑，是老兵们为连队修建的。斑驳的石质基座上，镌刻着一代代官兵的姓名。雕塑旁，三角梅迎风盛放—— 它的花语是“坚韧不拔、热情赤诚、默默守望”，恰如这群扎根西南边陲的戍边人，不惧湿热贫瘠、不畏深山艰险，以生命赴使命、以寸心护山河，在边境线默默绽放着忠诚之花。在十里村边防连的这段日子，我与官兵朝夕相伴，同吃同住、同训同乐，沉浸感受着戍边日常。他们的眼神清澈纯粹，他们的内心赤诚滚烫……这群质朴无畏的子弟兵，用坚守筑牢国门屏障，用热爱守护万家灯火。他们，当之无愧是新时代最可爱的人。这个五月，我穿梭在湿热艰险的边关密林，遇见了最纯粹的青春、最动人的坚守、最滚烫的家国情怀。策划：柳刚、李砺寒监制：龙文志、贺方林统筹：杨明博、马鹏远、姚成博记者：韩启扬、王慧编导：王慧、韩启扬撰稿：韩启扬、王慧摄像：韩启扬、梁通、罗显升剪辑：罗显升、梁通后期：王慧、罗显升设计：梁通协调：秦庆凡、张富康、曹继可、刘萱玮鸣谢南部战区陆军中国人民解放军31640部队

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA media team embedded with the Shili Village Border Defense Company, a brigade of the Southern Theater Command Army (Unit 31640), documenting a foot patrol to Border Marker No. 72 through the Ailao Mountains of Yunnan — a route that requires hours of off-road movement through dense primary forest with no vehicle access. The piece is standard political work content from the 'Toward the Centenary' series; its value is as a record of how official military media frames frontier hardship, generational loyalty, and the 最可爱的人 ('most beloved people') trope for a domestic audience, not as evidence of changed posture or capability along the southwestern border.
