Wang Shunyou died. This ordinary postman who has walked the Maban postal road all his life and touched China has been mourned by many netizens, praising him as "ordinary great" and "ordinary people have made extraordinary causes". Yes, Wang Shunyou has no outstanding achievements, no magnificent deeds, no flashes of moments, no prominent identity... What he had was just the usual persistence, the repetition day after day, and the rubber shoes that were worn out after a shift.
For the locals in Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the ordinary can no longer be ordinary, the ordinary can no longer be ordinary, such Wang Shunyou, at that time, there were more than ten in Muli County alone. As an advanced model, Wang Shunyou represents that group, and their greatness has a common feature - perseverance.
When General Secretary Xi Jinping met with the heroic crew members of Sichuan Airlines, he said: "Greatness comes from the ordinary, and the ordinary creates greatness." As long as there are firm ideals and beliefs, unremitting spirit of struggle, and down-to-earth to do every ordinary thing well, all ordinary people can obtain an extraordinary life, and all ordinary work can create extraordinary achievements. This is also the best annotation to the "Maban Mail Road" group represented by Wang Shunyou.
Wang Shunyou and I are considered "wine friends". 16 years ago, the deeds of Wang Shunyou and the Muli Maban Postal Road group became known and attracted the attention of organizations at all levels. At that time, in order to show its advanced nature, some media added some unrealistic evaluations, and even some logical problems, and the superior sent a comrade to be responsible for re-excavating and filming Wang Shunyou's deeds together with me to help restore a real him. In this way, Wang Shunyou and I met for the first time, at his home.
The low huts are not much different from the surrounding farmers, wang Shunyou is thin, good at wine, and loves to sing. We have known this in advance about good wine, so we have brought wine in the past. Like the ordinary villagers here, Wang Shunyou is simple and kind, walking on a lonely road for many years, and the only companion is the old horse, so he is not good at words and is not willing to take the initiative to communicate. The only exception is after drinking.
On that road, we drank and sang together. He drank well, probably seven or eight at that time, but if he drank urgently, half a pound would basically reach the point. He was just 40 years old, I was in my early 30s, and another companion had a good amount of alcohol and a young man, so naturally he took advantage of a lot of "cheap".
As soon as the wine is in place (stomach), Wang Shunyou is like a changed person, the words are endless, the dialect is witty, and the mountain songs are used from time to time to express their intentions. It was in this interview environment that we got a lot of first-hand information, deeply understood his true heart, and subverted the content of some previous media reports. For example, he is willing to go on all the time, but he does not want future generations to continue to take this road. But when he first became famous, the "he" in the media report did not say so. At that time, it was common, and also as a "finishing touch" and "sublimation" part, which was generally stated: he would go all the way, and if he could not walk one day, he would let his son continue to walk.
After becoming alcoholics, we felt his heart keenly, and we had deep feelings for our son, and seemed to be apologetic. After two or three days of observation, I was convinced that my son's future path had become his heart disease. Will my son continue on this path in the future? No other option? At that time, he had been gone for more than ten years, and the pain in the meantime was unknown. He mentioned his children in tears many times after drinking, sometimes wanting to talk and stopping, obviously with concern.
After thinking about it, I carefully and deliberately inadvertently said: This road is indeed too arduous, but now that all levels have recommended and publicized you, with more people's concern and attention, and with the efforts of party committees and governments at all levels, our conditions here will be improved, the road will be opened, the electricity will be connected, the telephone will be connected, and there will be a car, and our children and grandchildren will no longer have to take this road in the future. He suddenly perked up, paused slightly, and repeated my words. I could see his eyes light up, and that was his heart, and this was the love for his child. Let children take a better path, have better development, and see more of the world, and only then can they meet the normal emotions and expectations of an ordinary "person" and an ordinary father.
Later, we recorded this sentence with a video camera, and he said it with great emotion and power, without the slightest burden, because this is his true words. Later, in countless interviews and lecture tours, he said this, so expected. We saw very little later, but I always kept in mind the expectations of this drinking friend. He is gone now, but his original expectations have long been fulfilled.
Do great people have to be extraordinary? Wang Shunyou gave us a different answer. This is an ordinary person with normal emotions and appeals. The real greatness of him lies in perseverance, in doing his own thing in his post. Sticking to a certain time, "can create extraordinary achievements."
To commemorate Wang Shunyou is not to commemorate a great soul, but to commemorate Wang Shunyou as an ordinary person. Such an ordinary person is exactly the most like ourselves, everyone is close to him, can be compared with him, and feel how far we are from greatness.
