A: Netizens posted another series of comics on Sina Weibo. One featured Commander Qi Fabao stretching out his arms to hold back the foreign army. 

网友们又在新浪微博发了系列漫画。祁发宝团长张开双臂阻拦外军。

(wǎnɡyǒumen yòuzài xīnlànɡ wēibó fāle xìliè mànhuà. qífābǎo tuánzhǎnɡ zhānɡkāi shuānɡbì zǔlán wàijūn.)

B: The good news is that Commander Qi's injuries have healed. 

好消息是祁团长的伤痊愈了。

(hǎoxiāoxishì qí tuánzhǎnɡde shānɡ quányùle.)

A: Sadly not all of them made it. Martyr Chen Hongjun was four months away from being a father when he died, while Xiao Siyuan was originally supposed to get married during the Spring Festival. His wedding apartment was already refurbished. 

不幸的是, 并非所有人都平安回来了。陈红军烈士牺牲时还有4个多月就要做爸爸了, 肖思远原计划今年春节结婚, 婚房都装修好了。

(bùxìnɡdeshì, bìnɡfēi suǒyǒurén dōu pínɡān huíláile. chén hónɡjūn lièshì xīshēnɡshí háiyǒu sìɡè duōyuè jiùyào zuòbàbale, xiāo sīyuǎn yuánjìhuá jīnnián chūnjié jiéhūn, hūnfánɡ dōu zhuānɡxiū hǎole.)

B: A 1-year-old son of a border guard on the border of the PLA Tibet Military Region pointed at a photo and said that his father was on the wall. 

解放军西藏军区边境上一位边防战士的1岁儿子指着照片说爸爸在墙上。

(jiěfànɡjūn xīzànɡ jūnqū biānjìnɡ shànɡ yíwèi biānfánɡ zhànshìde yísuì érzi zhǐzhe zhàopiàn shuō bàba zài qiánɡshànɡ.)

A: Never yield an inch of ground. Border guards cannot get together with their families for years. They really are worthy of our respect. 

大好河山,寸土不让。边防战士常年不能和他们的家人团聚。他们真的值得我们尊敬。
