The key to the frontier, a hand-in-hand oath; the Silk Road, a lifelong commitment. During the May Day holiday, the Municipal Office of Supporting the Army and the People's Liberation Army, in collaboration with the troops stationed in Jia, held a mass wedding themed "Love Sealed at Xiongguan, Eternal Affection." Forty-four couples walked hand-in-hand into the hall of happiness, witnessed by their comrades-in-arms and the people of Xiongguan.
