Wang Shunyou was a postman in Muli County, Sichuan. He was born in 1965. At the age of 19, he took over his father’s job as a postman. He went on foot in the mountains for years as a messenger.
Each year, he carried mail from Muli County to Luobo Town. A round trip is 360 kilometres long. It takes him 14 days. Shunyou made two round trips a month. He was on the road for about 330 days each year. In total, he travelled 260,000 kilometres.
For each trip, Shunyou first had to climb a 5,000-metre-high mountain covered with snow and ice for six months of the year. There is no road. Then he had to go down to a valley, 1,000 metres above sea level. Its temperature is sometimes as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
On average, Shunyou delivered more than 8,400 newspapers, 330 magazines, 840 letters, and 600 packages every year on time. He served as a bridge for villagers in the mountains. They all loved him a lot.
Shunyou was happy and proud of his work. “Yes, it is difficult. But when I think of the expecting eyes of the villagers, I am filled with strength. I take pride in my work,” he said. His great service helped the local people stay in touch with the outside world.
