Thousands of Horses Galloping Out of Tianshan Mountain

In 1976, news of the Tangshan earthquake reached Ili, Xinjiang. Zhaosu Military Racecourse was ordered to urgently mobilize 3,000 horses to rush to the disaster area across thousands of miles. Batter, a young Kazakh herdsman, dedicated his beloved horse "Zhui Feng", whom he regarded as a brother, and formed a horse team with retired cavalry officer Chen Xiangdong, veterinarian Ayigul, live map Kurban and other companions from various ethnic groups to embark on an unprecedented journey. For fifty-eight days and nights, they climbed the Bingda Ban, crossed the Death Swamp, fought off the wolves, rescued the foal on the edge of the cliff, and guarded the new life on the train. After experiencing scorching heat, poisonous weeds, food shortages and injuries, he spent his life fulfilling the oath of "people are present and horses are present". When the team finally delivered all the horses to Tangshan, these ordinary herdsmen already understood that they were not only sending labor to rebuild their homes, but also rekindling hope in the ruins. This is a legend about perseverance, dedication and national unity. It witnesses how ordinary people measure their faith with their footsteps and write monuments with their lives in the torrent of the times.
