Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.

Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.

To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.

In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.

Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.”

The past ten years have seen Mei’s preservation efforts to the Great Wall. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says.

4. What did Mei often do when he was a child?

A. He played games with his friends. B. He helped repair parts of the wall.

C. He learned about the wall’s history. D. He took bricks from it to build houses.
