Last Friday, a Tibetan(藏族的) postman became the
first woman postal worker to give a speech at the World Postal Meeting in Bern,
the capital of Switzerland. She was Nima Lamu, a postwoman of Yunling Post office,
Yunnan Province.
She said, “I had to cross the Lancang River along a steel wire. My younger
brother nearly died in the river before. I felt so afraid when I was asked for
the first time to cross the river. But when I reached the other side, I found that
I was flying.”
Her area is locked
in (封閉) two
snowy mountains and three big rivers. She said, “:What
worries me most is the snakes on the way. Sometimes, I throw little stones
toward them and I often tell my self ‘Keep going’. ”
Ten years ago, it took Nima five
days to finish each week’s mail. She had to face
snowstorms, floods, snakes and loneliness on her 350-kilometer journey. Nima
said, “The situation has developed a lot these
years. Now we have a bridge that was built across the Lancang River in 2006.”
Nima never
dreamed she would become famous one day when she first look up her job, 12
years ago. Changes have been seen in recent years as more tourists visit Nima’s hometown. But one thing remains unchanged: she is still the
carrier of the villagers’ hopes and dreams.
