That person, that mountain, the postal route

On the way to send, Zhao Yuefang was resting on the roadside (taken on July 13).

In 26 years, more than 300,000 kilometers, and more than 800,000 emails. Township mailmen Zhao Yuefang walked silently in the Taihang Mountains where the mountains were staggered and the mountain roads meandered.

The Goosewa Post Office is located in the depths of Taihang Mountain, which is more than 1400 meters above sea level in the Grand Canyon Town of Changzhi City, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. It is the only post office within tens of kilometers and the place where Zhao Yuefang works.

In 1996, Zhao Yuefang returned to his hometown and became a postman. There were 18 administrative villages and 172 natural villages in Goosya Township. This belongs to Zhao Yuefang's delivery scope. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient to traffic. Every day, he carried the postal bag over the mountains, walking a narrow and steep "Cat Road", went to the bridge on the side of the mountain to carry the email back, and then sorted it, then sorted, and then sorted it. Submitting, it is often night after returning home. Many postman feels too hard, and resigned after three or five months. Zhao Yuefang insisted on today. In 2013, the local tourist highway was built, and the roads of goose house achieved road hardening, and the potholes and dirt roads became a flat and spacious road. In 2018, the local post company was equipped with a motorcycle for the Goose House Post Office, and has since submitted to history.

For more than two decades, Zhao Yuefang's bad shoes and bad postal bags were wearing bad shoes. In 2015, Zhao Yuefang was awarded the honorary title of "National Model of Labor". He is very pleased that this is both honor and a heavy responsibility.

Taihang Mountain is beautiful, but Zhao Yuefang has no time to watch. In the long -faded postal bag, there are parcels sent from other places, admission notices from college students, and letters expressing thoughts ... "The folks are waiting, and they can't be delayed for a moment," Zhao Yuefang said.
