Without a moment's hesitation, the couple agreed.

They are responsible for preventing illegal border crossings and hunting, as well as maintaining border facilities.

Even though they have lived in the Northeast for over 60 years, they had to get used to working in the extreme cold.

"It is really cold in winter, especially in the mountain areas, where morning temperatures can be as low as -35 C," Han said. "Moreover, heavy snow can sometimes reach up to our knees."
