Lhalung Dorje is a 17-year China Post staff member in his hometown Ruo’ergai county in Sichuan province.
Years of delivering packages across the county and interactions with the residents have given him a deep understanding of the local produce and knowledge to find high-quality products at affordable prices. In March 2021, he started his first livestreaming sales event, selling dried yak meat, milk powder, local pickled vegetables, dried mushrooms, buckwheat noodles and fruits. To date, he has broadcast about 10 livestreaming sessions, with sales reaching approximately 4 million yuan ($552,000).
Yet, Lhalung Dorje’s main responsibility still lies with his postal service. Ruo’ergai sits in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture (辖区) on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原). The special geographical conditions make for stunning landscapes, yet pose challenges for travelers, especially postal service workers like Lhalung Dorje. His routine routes are on average 3,500 meters above sea level and run more than 100 kilometers through pastoral (畜牧的) and forest areas that are full of dangers. To date, he has covered more than 500,000 km and delivered more than 5 million documents and packages, without a miss.
Lhalung Dorje’s father also worked as a postal delivery man. “I felt like my father was a hero, wearing the uniform, carrying his bag and passing through the mountains and valleys,” he recalls. He remembers loving to sit on the front of the bike as a child and feeling the warmth of his father behind him, even during the wintertime. The sight of the villagers sharing joy with his father when receiving their letters and packages has impressed him much.
In 2007, Lhalung Dorje followed in his father’s tracks. He has had many close calls over the years as he has often encountered snowstorms, mudslides, landslides and rockfalls. Those setbacks didn’t hold Lhalung Dorje back and he continued on the road soon after. “My job is ordinary. But within my abilities, there is nothing more meaningful than this,” he says. “I was born and raised here. I love this land very much and I hope to contribute to the development of my hometown.”
