　　Beginning in the 1980s, three Tibetan amates from Renqinggang Village, Xiayadong Township, Yadong County, Xigaze, Tibet, continued to transport the lives of officers and soldiers from the Zhanniangshe Outpost on the cliffs of the snow-capped mountains. Supplies.

　　"Every officer and soldier is our son." Having walked the sky for nearly 40 years, I have witnessed the affection between the grandmother who is more than sixty years old and the officers and soldiers of the snowy outpost.

　　A rugged trail winds through the virgin forest area and rocky cliff area from Renqinggang Village at an altitude of 2,800 meters to the 4,700-meter snowy outpost Zhanniangshe.

The outpost is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. The period of heavy snow sealing lasts for eight or nine months, and the annual average temperature is around minus 20 degrees Celsius.

In winter, the officers and soldiers could only eat dried vegetables and canned food. During the 30-kilometer journey, the grandmother set off early in the morning carrying dozens of catties of vegetables.

　　Recently, when a reporter from Chinanews.com interviewed three grandmothers at Daji's home, the two monitors of the post had video calls with them respectively.

　　"Ama, are you all in good health recently?" asked Liu Jiefei, the current squad leader of the post.

　　"Okay, okay. How about you? Take care of your health and wait for your grandmother to come up to see you."

　　"Ama, I took a vacation some time ago, and I haven't seen you since the Chinese New Year. I miss you very much."

　　"Yes, we went up at the end of June, and you were not there." Tsering Quzhen spoke to the phone screen, wiping tears with her right hand.

　　"In the early years, there were other villagers who delivered vegetables with us, but it was difficult to stick to it." Tsering Quzhen told reporters, "Now the outpost is open to roads and water, and the conditions are much better than before. In the past, they had difficulties. You may not be able to imagine. Every time we go up to see them, we feel distressed."

　　In addition to the Zhanniangshe outpost, the three Tibetan aunts also took turns to deliver more than 80 tons of vegetables to the outposts such as Zelila, Zola, Duoren, Nathula, and Donggala, with a round-trip mileage of about 70,000 kilometers.

Puch said that they would also take the children to the outpost, helping the officers and soldiers to carry the dirty clothes off, and then send them back after they were washed.

"Our Mandarin is learned from the People's Liberation Army; they have associates, and sometimes they come to solicit our opinions."

　　After a while, Long Keyong, who served as a soldier in the outpost from 1997 to 2001, also put on a video call with his grandmother.

After being discharged from the military, Squad Leader Long and his grandmother contacted by letter until they reunited in a TV show in Beijing in 2012.

In 2019, Long Keyong, who is already working in Enshi, Hubei, made a special trip to Yadong to visit his grandmother.

　　In the past, a letter sent from home to an outpost usually took as little as a month or as long as half a year to receive it.

So the soldiers told their relatives and friends the address of A-Ma, and A-Ma became a "postman" for the officers and soldiers at the outpost.

In the past 40 years, they have sent and received more than 50,000 mails for the officers and soldiers of the post.

　　After a short greeting, Squad Leader Long recalled the past to reporters.

At that time, the cliffs were all hewn roads. When the weather is good, the grandmother would go to the outpost every week; once the weather is bad, she may only go up once a month.

"Compared with fresh vegetables and letters, the spiritual sustenance for grandma is greater."

　　Daji told reporters that the current supply of materials at the Zhanniangshe post is already sufficient, "We don't have to deliver food anymore."

However, the three grandmothers would still charter up the mountain from time to time. The last time was on the eve of July 1st, and they planned to visit the "sons" of the officers and soldiers before and after the founding of the army.
