红其拉甫口岸位于新疆喀什地区塔什库尔干塔吉克自治县境内,地处帕米尔高原,是目前世界海拔最高的海关监管口岸,也是中国与巴基斯坦的唯一陆路通道。这里自然环境恶劣,平均海拔4500米,空气含氧量不到平原地区的50%,气温最低可达零下40多度,全年无霜期仅82天,被称为“生命禁区”“死亡雪海”。

当地人用“天上无飞鸟,地上不长草,风吹石头跑,氧气吃不饱,四季穿棉袄”来描述这里的恶劣环境。新中国成立后,红其拉甫口岸曾处于半封闭状态。1969年,中国与巴基斯坦开始进行边境易货贸易。喀什海关派驻“明铁盖工作组”筹建红其拉甫海关,监管中巴边贸和旅客进出境。当时,红其拉甫海关第一任关长刘敬华带着“一顶帐篷七个人,三头牦牛一口锅”,在帕米尔雪峰下扎下了营盘,这就是著名的“帐篷海关”。红其拉甫建关之路就在这样艰苦的条件下拉开序幕。

英雄的精神在这里传承,对祖国清澈的爱在这里奔流。多年来,一代又一代红其拉甫海关人坚守雪域高原、戈壁风口,抗缺氧、战严寒,以缺氧不缺斗志、缺氧不缺精神的勇气和毅力,忠诚履职,艰苦奋斗,形成了“特别能吃苦、特别能战斗、特别能忍耐、特别能奉献”的红其拉甫海关“四特”精神,体现着国门卫士对祖国的无限忠诚。
