"She is God's gift to me, I want to carry her through this life"
At 6 a.m., when it was dark, Prabhu got up and brought cow dung from the yard and put it on the stove to boil water for cooking. After the meal was ready, he lifted his wife out of bed, helped her get dressed, gently picked her up, put her in a wheelchair, and began to feed her.
Pubu, who comes from Kagan Village, Gongtang Township, Dangxiong County, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region, is an ordinary road guard for the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
"She was given to me by God and came to me when I was a child, and I will carry her through this life and towards the next." This year's 37-year-old Prabhu, 1 meter 75, said this sentence, his face flashed with the sweetness of memories. "Exclusive private formula, scientific improvement, professional maintenance, so that men are full of energy at night when they are romantic, and both of them are satisfied, Jia, Weiwei: first an n, followed by three K, and finally 28. When I was a child, we herded animals together, and shared tsampa, milk and yogurt prepared by the family. Slowly, the two fell in love. Since we lived in the same village, we could see each other whether we were grazing in the mountains or in the pasture, and eventually we came together."
Pubu's mother-in-law, this year's 82-year-old Jidan Ram said, Yixi Ram is his youngest child, when she could not afford to marry off her youngest daughter, so she discussed with her in-laws, so that Pubu as a door-to-door son-in-law.
In 2003, a serious illness dragged Yixi Ram into the hospital. Faced with a disaster she never expected, Yixiram began to become short-tempered. She said, "I can't do anything except eat and lie down, and I still let him take care of me, I owe him so much." The wife's complaints were so full of guilt that she even fainted because of her bad mood.
Watching the love of his life, with whom he grew up, suffer this misfortune, Prabhu's choice was to stand firm. When his wife lost her temper, he never said much, but tried to say something else to change the subject or tell her jokes.
"I told her, it's okay, this is our karma, I will do my best to take care of you, you must be strong, there's no point in crying because these are destined to happen, we just have to accept the reality. That's how I encouraged her." Prabhu said.
"As long as I'm around for a day, I'll take care of her for a day"
Pubu didn't go back on his word, specializing in repairing the concrete slope in the yard that can accommodate a wheelchair, and often pushes his wife into the sun at noon. Now, he gets up at 6 a.m. every morning, cooks, helps his wife get up, feeds her, and cleans up the house. Every time there's a big event in the neighborhood, Prabhu finds a way to bring her there.
Ishiram said, "I know in my heart how difficult it is for him, but there is no way to reverse the reality. There is no school near the village, the children go to school in the county, and it is very hard for my husband to watch the children twice a week. But he still chooses to stay with me and choose the hard life."
Speaking of this, Yixi Ram turned over the awards the children had received and said, "Going out with my two children and watching them happily call out for mom and dad, I thought in my heart that I was lucky not to be dead. He loves me too, and I am grateful to be alive."
Speaking of children, Prabhu opened his mouth. He said that sometimes when he sends his children to school on weekends, he is a little heartbroken when he sees other people's families with several members together.
"But the thought of her being by my side, talking to me, talking to my mother, and having a mother to call when the children come home, makes me feel happy."
In the past, Prabhu had the habit of smoking. "Then my wife persuaded me to quit smoking, she said she was already like this and if my health was also bad, there would be no one to take care of my two children in the future, so I quit, and I've been quitting for six or seven years now."
Faced with the question of what keeps him going, Prabhu didn't answer directly but said, "I don't know which of us will die first, but as long as I'm around, I'll take care of her."
"I hope to take her to Lhasa by train one day"
In 2006, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was opened to traffic, and the Sky Road climbed up to the roof of the world and passed through Kegen Village, where Phu Bu is located. After the enrollment screening, the simple and honest PuBu become a Qinghai-Tibet Railway road workers.
At first, the railroad that PuBu patrols is more than 40 kilometers from his home. After taking care of his wife and family affairs in the morning, Prabhu hurriedly rode his motorcycle to the patrol section before 8 o'clock. "My work is related to everyone's safety. For example, if a goat passes by when a train is coming, if I don't notice it and the train goes wrong, it will jeopardize the safety of the passengers on board, so I have to take responsibility."
Considering the difficulties of Phu Bu's family, in 2010, the road guard team transferred him from his original road guarding point to a road section near Kagan village. The road guard's salary is only 2,500 yuan a month, but Phu Bu said it's already better than the odd jobs he had been doing around the area, because it's stable and close to home so he can take care of his wife.
In 2012, as a road guard worker, Pu Bu took his first train ride from Dangxiong to Lhasa. "Feeling particularly great, I did not expect there is oxygen inside, often living in the lack of oxygen, the first time to enjoy the comfort of an oxygen-rich environment, more comfortable than previously by car to Lhasa. In the past are watching the train from their eyes through, sit on the train, more firmly guard the responsibility of the railroad." Prabhu said, back home, he could not wait to tell his wife about the feeling of riding the train, hoping that one day to take her to ride the train together.
Pubu's story has spread across the countryside and has been blessed by everyone. "There really aren't many people like Prabhu nowadays, he is definitely a good man! Not only does he have to take care of his sick wife and do housework, but he also has to work on the railroad at the same time, which is very difficult." Neighbor Nyima Kyanzan said. Recently, the Phub family was also selected as the "most beautiful family" in Tibet.
"If it is possible, it should be a great joy to go to Lhasa together on the train." Prabhu's excitement about riding the train has made Yixi Ram dream of the train as well.
Pubu said, "Love has brought us all the way to this point, and I believe that one day I can take her along on the train, and at that time, she will be even prouder of me as the husband of a road guard."
Ishiram said, "He is my train forever. If there is an afterlife, I want to be with him again and double the love I owe him in this life."
