History of the Corps' Reclamation and Border Defence. It is a history of sacrificing for the country and loving the motherland. Over the past 60 years, generations of corps people have worked hard and explored hard, never competing with the people for profits, turning Gobi into fertile land and desert into oasis. Infinite loyalty and love for the motherland run through all the actions of corps people, and the corps spirit of loving the motherland, selfless dedication and hard work has been forged with blood and sweat.
