Dianjiao Village is an ordinary Tibetan village located on the west bank of Shiquan River. It is located in a remote area, with an average altitude of 4,000 meters, and the natural conditions are extremely harsh. For the past few thousand years, it has always been isolated from the world and no one cares.
Today, it is the front line of my country's territorial disputes with India. When the eyes of the Chinese people are attracted by the Pangong Lake area and the southern Tibet area, there is still no sound here. The calm on the surface could not hide the turbulent emotions. As we all know, the territorial disputes between China and India have a long history and are mainly divided into three sections: east, middle and west. In the western section, Aksai Chin is all under our actual control, while Dianjiao Village is located at the forefront of the Indian-administered Barrigas area.
There is a Dianjiao River to the west of Dianjiao Village. Across the river is Dianjiao Village, which is controlled by India. The two villages are less than 1 km apart. The two villages were originally one village, but later belonged to two countries for historical reasons. The Indian army's fortress is located on the hillside in front of Dianjiao Village.
In 1951, the Indian army began to invade the Barrigas area when the People's Liberation Army first entered the Ali area. In 1955 further eroded Barrigas. In October of the same year, the China Border Working Group was stationed in Dianjiao Village.

In 1959, the situation in Tibet was turbulent. After the turmoil ended, there were only three households in Dianjiao Village with more than 100 households. In 1988, out of the need to maintain national security and frontier stability, Gar County began to mobilize people from Shiquanhe Town to move to Dianjiao Village, with a total of 26 households and 95 people.

At that time, most of the people in Dianjiao Village did not have decent houses, and the villagers faced a lack of food in winter. All the villagers began to build canals on the overgrown wasteland, and reclaimed 609 mu of land, and life began to go on. Even under such difficult circumstances, they still cling to the frontier.
