Beyond their daily duties, the soldiers of the company have channeled their passion into other areas such as music, using it as a medium to express the "Red Company Spirit".

While performing songs such as Red Outpost, Tang's unwavering gaze resembles that of a sentry on guard, a role typically undertaken by members of the armed police force.

Tang revealed the song was inspired by a real sentry he encountered during a patrol. "I saw him standing firmly, staring into the distance," Tang said. "I asked if he was tired or missed home."

The sentry's reply left a deep impression. "The sea breeze reminds me of home," the sentry said. "I was raised by the sea. I don't feel tired because I'm guarding my home."
