"Kangba heroes" in the new era

——Dengzhen, an outstanding communist party member in kaniang Township, Luhuo County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, gallops bravely among the blue sky and snow mountains on a horse and a Tibetan sword. Dengzhen did not rely on these to win the praise of the masses for his "Kangba hero". In a remote Tibetan village where there is no electricity or telephone, dengzhen, who is only a semi full-time animal defense officer, has worked hard for the majority of farmers and herdsmen for decades and has become a close and respected person of the masses. In the Tibetan village of "kaniang" under the ancient castle on the southeast edge of kangzang plateau in Western Sichuan, dengzhen, in his early 40s, stands on the earth dam in front of the township government, with a bronze face, a lock of red and gorgeous Luoying hanging in his ears and a wide Tibetan dress tied around his waist. This brave Kangba man spoke with a stubborn brow, and looked around at the surrounding mountains and villages with kindness. Over the past 17 years, he has visited farmers and herdsmen for more than 3000 times and treated more than 10000 livestock. Every piece of land in kaniang township has left his hardship. Although there are only 215 households in kaniang Township, Luhuo County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, it covers an area of 492 square kilometers, with an average altitude of nearly 4000 meters, high mountains and deep water, and rugged roads. There is no electricity or communication in the village, and the rural roads leading to the county are often impassable for ten and a half days in rainy season. Between the villages and pastures, there are mountain roads, and rock climbing through the forest is extremely dangerous. Dengzhen visits more than 200 times a year. If it's far away, it takes nearly two months at a time. On a late night in July 2003, the dengzhen family was awakened from their sleep by a sudden knock on the door. Herdsman baze family died of a cow, the remaining two are also critically ill, helpless baze had to even night to ask for help. Dengzhen looks out the window at the shadow of Xinge snow mountain in the night rain, which is not under the jurisdiction of kaniang township. But he still went. At 5 a.m., he walked through the mountain path in the night rain, arrived at the ranch to cure the sick cattle, and then went back home alone. on the morning of October 10, 2005, gelongluowu, a herdsman in kaniang village, and qiuxiu's Yak got dysentery. If they were not treated immediately, they would dehydrate and die. Dengzhen immediately went to the county town to get medicine on his beloved motorcycle bought with his loan. The stones on the muddy country road hit dengzhen on the way back, and the 180 Jin man fell heavily on the road. Dengzhen woke up in a coma and felt sharp pain in his abdomen, but he still tried to endure the pain and treated the sick cow first. After the last injection, dengzhen fainted in qiuxiu's cow pen. He broke two ribs and was still in bed asking about the medicine and the condition of the sick cow. Stubborn dengzhen has been at home for more than 20 days, but his injury has not healed. He can't sit still and appears on the mountain road with a medicine box on his back. Such cases of visits are insignificant in dengzhen's eyes. The notes of Si Lang Jiang Village, director of the working committee of Xindu District, Luhuo County, are full of dense records of visits: a farm cow in Jizha village was ill, and dengzhen rushed to treat the cow for more than an hour. Dengzhen cured a yak cow and a horse for Luoluo family in duowa village. Yi Zhong's horse broke two ribs. Deng Zhen passed by Yi Zhong's house and had an operation to cure the injury. Qiu Weng's horse was pierced by the horn of a cow, and his intestines began to dry. He was cured after dengzhen's operation. Yaluo's cow was in difficult labor. Deng was really not afraid of dirt. He took out the dead calf with his hand and saved the cow. Dengzhen went to the cattle farm immediately to treat the sick yak. …… According to Si Lang Jiang Village, dengzhen carries a medicine box through the mountains and rivers of kaniang all the year round. When he is thirsty, he drinks a mouthful of mountain water and grabs a handful of ice and snow. When he is hungry, he rubs a lump of cold water Zanba to satisfy his hunger. Many hardships and dangers in the mountains and forests are hard for others to imagine. Once, in order to cure the cow as soon as possible, Deng Zhen got lost on the road and lost his way. At night, when the dry food was gone and the night was dark and cold on the plateau, he huddled under the Rhododendron tree and suffered from hunger and cold all night. Another time, the sudden heavy rain stopped him in the mountain forest. The mountain wind was very strong, and the pines roared. It seemed that there were countless wild wolves howling around him. The burly man with a plastic bag on his head wanted to be with his wife and children, but he only had the medicine box beside him. On another occasion, in order to save the two sick Yaks of the herdsman's family, dengzhen took the risk of bypassing four hungry old bears in the snow. the tender Kangba hero dengzhen is the most "part-time" person in kaniang township. He used to work as a rural postman for 23 years, and has been a militia company commander and a rural semi full-time animal defense officer for 21 years. In every ordinary post, he faithfully performs his duties. At the age of 15, Deng Zhen began to deliver letters and pick up pieces for the villagers on the Buban post road in kaniang township. After 23 years, he became a well-known "mobile post office" in kaniang township. The whole journey of the post road is from the township government to the three district post offices. It is a rugged mountain road of tens of kilometers, and it has to cross three mountains above 4000 meters above sea level. Up to now, dengzhen still has a parcel that was sent in those days. One winter, two masked gangsters with knives stopped him in the forest: "take out the things and money!" Young dengzhen hugged the parcel tightly and yelled, "you can take all my things. I won't give you any letters." Looking at his desperate posture, the gangster had to take away his raincoat and food. When Dunzhen, tired and hungry, in his single clothes and soaked to the skin, collapsed at the post office, his hands still clung tightly to the mail in his arms. When Deng Zhen became the commander of the militia company in the countryside, no one could help praising him as a brave hero. One year, two horse thieves stole three herdsmen's horses. Dengzhen immediately gathered 12 people from the militia and villagers to chase the horse thieves in the direction of their escape. When chasing into a jungle, dengzhen found a wisp of smoke floating out of the lush bush. He immediately asked everyone to quickly hide and quietly approach the target alone. He saw two people cooking in the Bush, one with a "small caliber" rifle on his back and three bareback horses beside him. He concluded that they were horse thieves. When the horse robbers found him, they suddenly jumped up. One drew out his sword, the other pointed his loaded gun at dengzhen and said, "don't you want to live?" Don't think I'll be afraid of your guns. Do you know how many guns are aimed at your heads While the two horse thieves were stunned, Deng Zhen roared and threw them to the ground. Together with the militia, he caught them back. In front of gangsters, difficulties and dangers, Deng is really a fearless tough guy. In the eyes of the 81 year old woman of wubaohu in Qima group of kaniang village and the old man of luosongnima in legu group of kaniang village, he is a tender man full of love. in August 2005, the merciless rain washed down a corner of the house of the old man in Dizhuo. Dengzhen immediately organized 10 militia to help the old man repair the dangerous house. When the maintenance was short of wood, he did not hesitate to take out his own wood. The old man lived with his cousin. It was very difficult for them to cut wood and get water. Especially in winter, domestic water needs to go back to the Niqu River, and it takes one and a half hours to go back and forth. In the past eight years, dengzhen has not only cut firewood and carried water for the old man's family, but also become the family medical staff of the old man. When he went out to treat the villagers, the burden of taking care of the elderly fell on his wife and children. When losoneima's cousin died, denzhen took care of the old man's funeral as if he were busy with his own family affairs. "Incompetent" husband dengzhen's wife xiaoyouzhen's most "complaint" to her husband is: have you ever touched the hoe handle in his life? In kaniang Township, digging Cordyceps and Fritillaria every year is the best way to change the economic conditions of a family. Dengzhen has never carried a hoe up the mountain to dig these medicinal materials that can sell money. Once his wife asked him to dig Cordyceps, his son said: don't call me dad, he is a party member, he will go to the ranch to see a doctor for cattle. in the records of the Bureau of agriculture and animal husbandry of Luhuo County, we can see the following words: the responsibilities of full-time and semi full-time animal guards are equal. The average monthly salary of full-time animal guards is 1600 yuan, while the average monthly salary of semi full-time animal guards is 37.5 yuan. According to the regulations of the Bureau of agriculture and animal husbandry, semi full-time animal guards can receive a visit fee as a work subsidy. Dengzhen has never collected a visit fee for 17 years, reducing the loss of more than 2 million yuan for herdsmen. When they got married, the property of the dengzhen family was 100 Jin of grain, a quilt and a thick bowl. His wife's dowry is 400 Jin highland barley, a quilt and a porcelain bowl. Now there are two decent teapots and a 20 yuan radio on the steel stove of dengzhen home. Xiaoyouzhen said that the two teapots were replaced by two pieces of calf leather from the father on the cattle farm, and the radio was also given to him by the living Buddha of karniang temple. In kaniang Township, dengzhen's family is still poor, with an average annual income of only 2000 yuan. in may and August 2005, dengzhen gave up 27 yuan per day and 100 yuan per day in order to prevent and control the animal epidemic
