Recently, in China, a photo taken 11 years ago has spread rapidly on the Internet and social media.

This is a picture taken on January 30, 2010 at Nanchang Station in Jiangxi Province in south central China.

This is a scene of a woman going to her hometown ahead of the Chinese New Year's Lunar New Year, the Chinese New Year.

This is a picture of walking with a large luggage the size of an adult on his back, a newborn child in one hand, and a bulging backpack in the other hand.

The waist is bent at the weight of the luggage.

'Chun Yun's mother'



This one photo

touched

the hearts of Chinese people, and she was nicknamed'Chun Yun's mother'.

Here,'Chun Yun' refers to the special transportation period for the Lunar New Year in China.

Due to the large land and large population, China usually sets 40 days from the 15th before Lunar New Year to the 25th after Lunar New Year.



The reason why this photo became widespread again after 11 years was because the Chinese media started to find out who this woman is, where and how she lives.

That's because the Chinese people's interest in the women in this photo was great.



A reporter from Xinhua News Agency said he traveled to nearly 100 areas in Jiangxi Province.

It is said that Shandong Province and Guangdong Province continued to search.

It was in vain.

Then, based on the clue provided by netizens, on January 21st, we were finally able to find the main character in the photo.

I was Bamuwibumu, a 32-year-old Yi woman living in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Region in Sichuan Province.

The story of Bamuwibumu

, a tobacco farming on brick transport,

once again rang the Chinese people.

There was no baby in the picture.

A reporter for Xinhua said, "We are far away from the sky and the earth."

The child was her second daughter, who died of illness six months after returning home in 2010.

It is said that the hospital is so far away, and because there is no medicine, it has not been treated properly.

At the time, Bamuwibumu was working outside the country to make money.

A brick factory in Nanchang carried bricks.

My second daughter was often sick, so I was on my way to my hometown with my daughter during Chunje in 2010.




Bamuwibumu said that he chose to go out of town because he did not want his child to live in a big mountain like himself.

After that, she had a third child, but within 10 days of her birth, she had to go through life and death again.

In sorrow, it is said that he did not put the grain in his mouth for a few days.

He rose again as a family comfort, and now has an eldest daughter and three young children.



Bamuwibumu and her husband worked in tobacco farming in the wilderness of the mountainside.

From February 1st, they moved to Fujian Province to farm sea cucumbers.

The eldest daughter has become a junior high school student, and the youngest is also entering kindergarten this time.

Bamuwibumu laughed, saying that the second daughter (the fourth daughter if all the children were alive) was excellent and is also the class leader.




Chinese media describe Bamuwibumu as a symbol of'escape from poverty'.

Chinese President Xi Jinping aims to achieve a so-called “Xiaokang” society in which all people can enjoy an affluent life.

In particular, this year, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, has been declared the first year of the Xiaokang society.

Some Chinese state-run media have also added to their articles on Bamuwimu, that '100 million poor people have escaped poverty over the past eight years.'



Aside from whether it is right to use a woman's adversity as a political tool, it is clear that the Bamuwibumu reminds us of our mother.

Although the country is different, it reminds me of the sublime and strong lives of all mothers who do not hesitate to bear the heavy burden for their families.

There will be many people who cannot go to their hometown this New Year because of Corona 19.

Since I am also in Beijing, it is difficult to go to Korea.

I have to call my mother even one more call.
