Taxian County, Xinjiang, January 6 (China News Network) -- In the past few days of the first anniversary of the death of "model of the times" Razini Bayka, many people have come to his home to commemorate the hero who died tragically because of the courage to save the children who fell into the water. One of the old men brought a brand new saddle, which the old man said had been made by Razini when he was alive.
It is understood that the old man's name is Refi Akbayi, who lives in the village of Naoabati in Tajik Abati Town, Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as Ta County), and is a craftsman who makes traditional saddles, and because of his exquisite craftsmanship, many riders like to buy saddles from him. In October 2020, he was selling saddles at a market in the county seat of Ta County, and Razzini found him and asked him to order a set of saddles that could be used on the back of yaks, saying that every year new border guards came to the frontier, on the way to patrol, riding on the back of yaks was unstable, and sometimes the roads were rough, and it was easy to fall off the yak's back.
The old man promised to make a set of high-quality saddles for Razini Bayka, and just as the old man was collecting all the good cowhide, wool, cow plush and durable wood, he heard that Razini bravely rescued the children who fell into the water and died, and Gefi Akbaryi was sad for a long time, and when his wife at home died of a serious illness, he did not care for a while to make a saddle. It wasn't until recently that I slowly came out of my wounds, thinking that the saddle must be done, or I would be sorry for Razini. Recently, a new set of durable and beautiful saddles was completed, this set of saddles consists of front saddle bridge, rear saddle bridge, saddle, saddle wing, cushion, foot pedal, horse whip, etc., and the materials selected are pure hand polished cow and sheep leather.
Geoffi Akbay told reporters: "Today I sent the saddle over and felt much more relaxed. ”
Lazini's father, Bayka Kellidbek, said: "I only learned about this in May 2021 and received these things today, and I am very grateful to him (Gerfie Akbayi) to these people who miss my son. ”
"Model of the Times" Razini Bayka was a member of the village committee and border guard of Tizinafu Village, Tiznafu Township, Ta County, Kashgar Region, Xinjiang. On January 4, 2021, he died heroically to save the children who fell into the water, at the age of 41. (End)
