During his revolutionary career of nearly 60 years, Comrade Ulatyev Abduwayit loved the Party, the motherland, and the Communist cause. He devoted his life's energy to the great cause of safeguarding the unity of the motherland, strengthening ethnic unity, and opposing ethnic division. He loved the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang and made outstanding contributions to strengthening the military region's military construction and consolidating the northwest border for decades.
