In the ancient Mutianyu Great Wall, besides the centuries-old bricks and stones that bear witness to history, there is a mysterious force that is both incredibly adorable and "diligent" — the Mutianyu Great Wall Cat Guard. Today, let me introduce you to these feline heroes and show you how they write a legendary story of protecting the Great Wall with their cute demeanor.
"Chief Mu", the top leader of the team, strides with a square gait, his eyes exuding an innate dignity. His grey and white fur resembles a general's battle armor. It is said that every morning, he patrols along the wall. With his keen little nose and sharp cat eyes, he can instantly detect any loose bricks or unusual parapets. He is truly an experienced and responsible guardian of the city. At the sound of his "meow," all team members go on alert.
"General Tian" follows closely behind. With his sleek and shiny fur and agile figure, he can leap and climb along the wall. He excels at night patrols, moving like a ghost between the watchtowers and safeguarding the peace of the Great Wall. Any insects or stray rodents that dare to cause trouble at night will be terrified by his low, angry growl.
"Commandant Yu" is particularly cheerful and has a firm gaze. When there are many tourists, he wanders around the crowd, seemingly begging for snacks but actually observing to prevent anyone from accidentally damaging the Great Wall facilities. If he spots any trouble, he cleverly stands in front and uses his adorable appearance to remind tourists to protect the ancient relics. He is truly a master of public relations and a mainstay of security.
"Private Mu", though small in size, is never shy. He always follows the seniors, imitating their actions by patting the bricks with his little paws to check if they are sturdy. Although he occasionally trips and falls due to playfulness, he gets up and continues to "stand guard." His perseverance makes everyone hopeful for his future. He is the team's inspiring new star.
"Hua Xiaomei" is the beauty of the team. With her big, twinkling eyes, she often basks in the sun on the Great Wall, attracting tourists to take photos and check in. She also helps spread knowledge about the Great Wall. Whenever someone approaches, she rubs against them, guiding their gaze to the nearby information board, as if to say, "Learn about the treasure we protect!" She has made significant contributions to the promotion of Great Wall culture.
"Pang Tuanzi" is round and cuddly, just as his name suggests. Although his belly jiggles when he runs, he never fails when it matters. In the cold winter winds, he lies in the sheltered corners of the wall, using his body heat to warm the bricks and prevent them from freezing and cracking. He is everyone's heartwarming darling, protecting the Great Wall in his unique way.
There are also inseparable twins, "Qiangdun'er" and "Qiangduo'er". They look almost identical and always appear together at the corners of the wall. One guards the watchtower, while the other keeps an eye on the battlements. Their cooperation is seamless, providing double protection for the most vulnerable parts of the Great Wall. Nothing escapes their "cat-eye defense."
These cats, day in and day out, year after year, protect the Mutianyu Great Wall in their own way. They are the lively symbols of the intersection of history and modernity, bringing vitality and warmth to the ancient walls. Next time you visit the Mutianyu Great Wall, don't forget to say hello to these adorable guards. They might even show you a different side of the Great Wall! May their lives always be joyful, and may the Great Wall remain glorious under their protection.
