Guardians of the Great Wall strive to protect it
China DailyEven at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to patrol the Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall. Mei lives in Shixia, a village nestled near the 8.6-kilometer stretch of the Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall in the suburban Yanqing district of Beijing, the oldest part of which dates back to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Inspired by her uncle, Mei's niece Liu Hongyan, followed in his footsteps and officially became a Great Wall guardian in 2019. "When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall," Liu says. "It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and available to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall," Mei says.
