Xue Rui built mountains and rivers overnight, and colorful flags fluttered in the barracks early in the morning. On the first day of the Year of the Rooster, after raising the national flag, officers and men of a military camp in Tibet border defense took their wives and belts to participate in the Spring Festival garden activities organized by the unit. The officers and men are happy, the family is happy, various activities are wonderful, and the camp is full of laughter.

Officers and men like to greet the first day of the new year with lively and festive scenes. Self-directed and self-performed literary programs are the prelude to garden activities. With the theme of "carrying forward the spirit of old Tibet, defending the frontier and creating new achievements", the officers and men showed their achievements in education, duty, training, security and military and civilian construction in the past year in the form of large-scale square dance, and expressed their New Year wishes by artistic means.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, officers and men competed to show their "unique skills", such as martial arts, calligraphy and painting, paper-cutting, and "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers". Here, I present the "chicken" paintings of officers and soldiers to you. I wish you luck, health and peace in the Year of the Rooster, Tahildler!
