Girl melts Harbin Ice and Snow World with motto

"Pure love, only for China." When the host of the Harbin Ice and Snow World in Heilongjiang province read out the words on the wallpaper of a lost phone to find its owner, applause broke out among the audience, CCTV News reported.

The sentence was from the diary of a soldier Chen Xiangrong, who lost his life in a border clash with Indian troops in June 2020. The owner of the cellphone, surnamed Xie is a student of the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine.

She learned about Chen's story when she was in high school and Chen sacrificing himself for the country's border defense greatly moved her. Since then, Xie has regarded Chen as an example and hoped one day she could also contribute to the country. So she took the patriotic expression written by Chen as a motto, and placed together with the national flag as background of her cellphone.

What she didn't expect was the sudden popularity of the wallpaper on the internet, with many netizens asking her to share it.

"I am very happy that this resonates with so many people. We post-2000s generations are not a lost generation, but a generation that can contribute to the future of our country," Xie said. "I firmly believe that through our efforts and hard work, our country will become more prosperous! We will definitely live up to the expectations of the times, and strive to create a better future for our country!" she added.
