Why the death of a postman is so touching

In the early morning of June 1, Wang Shunyou, a loyal messenger of China Post's "Maban Post Road", was returned to dust and buried on the hillside of his hometown. In recent days, his death has aroused widespread concern, and people have left messages on the Internet to express their feelings of remembrance.

Why did the death of a postman touch people's hearts?

He is not good-looking, not good at words, and even a little wooden. He did not have the great achievements of the annals of history, and he could not speak the words of the lotus flower. Because of ordinary, people can see their own shadow in him - a passerby in the vast sea of people, a small drop of water in the sea.

And he was so unusual—a man, a horse, alone for 32 years. He has climbed the alpine beams at an altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level and covered with ice and snow for half of the year countless times in his life, and has also walked countless times into the Yalong River Valley, which is 1,000 meters above sea level and the temperature is as high as 40 degrees Celsius at its hottest. He had encountered mudslides and the danger of a zipline breaking suddenly. In order to pick up the parcel that accidentally fell into the river, he was able to jump into the rolling river without hesitation. Kicked by a horse and broken in the intestines, but also gritted his teeth and insisted on delivering the mail to the villagers...

Wang Shunyou used his short life to explain how a person should live—with faith and never giving up. He once said that every time he came as promised, he could make the villagers in remote mountainous areas happy for a long time. He was not only a postman of the "Maban Post Road", but also a messenger of the party and the state.

The more than 260,000 kilometers of postal roads he walked out with his feet were a journey for a peasant teenager to sublimate to a civilian hero. The footprints paved all the way are the testimony of a Communist Party member who does not care about gains and losses, is willing to be lonely, has the courage to dedicate, and bows to the fullest.

Perseverance, gold stone can be skeletonized. People miss Wang Shunyou because he has done ordinary small things to the extreme, and 32 years of blood and sweat have blossomed into brilliant Soma flowers in the depths of his soul.

Everyone has their own "Maban Mail Road", and the journey of struggle is destined not to be smooth. Looking back at the history of the party over the past hundred years, communists have endured hardships and hardships, ridden the wind and waves, and led the people of the whole country from standing up and getting rich to becoming strong. Today, we may no longer have to throw our heads and spill our blood, but like Wang Shunyou, we can take root in ordinary posts, stick to our original intentions, and strive to be strong.

Although the "Maban Postal Road" has become history and Although Wang Shunyou has left, the spirit of the "Maban Postal Road" will remain forever. Aoyama testifies that more strivers will inherit the spiritual wealth of mortal heroes. (Reporter Wu Guangyu)
