[China Yesterday and Today] is the official YouTube channel of KBS that services KBS programs related to China. ■ Shangri-La, a paradise on earth! 'La Ziyu', a female postwoman in a small village there, delivers mail over the rugged mountains and valleys of Shangri-La. It is a story created by a female postwoman who delivers news to the Tibetan people living there to celebrate the New Year. It is also a story of the landscape of wishes spreading to Shangri-La. ■ In the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, China, there are 13 snow-covered mountains with an average height of 6,000m called the 'Triple Peaks'. 'Shangri-La' located under the eternal snow among these rugged mountains. Shangri-La means 'the sun and moon in my heart' in Tibetan. Songzanlin Temple (松贊林寺), the largest Tibetan temple in Yunnan Province, also called the small 'Potala Palace'. This Zhongdian (中甸, Zhongdian) changed its name to 'Shangri-La County' in 2001, and became the greatest invention in the history of Chinese tourism. After passing the 'Nujiang Grand Canyon' (one of the world's ten valleys), which is also the entrance to the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road', you will arrive at the small village of 'Yunling' after 14 hours. ■ Shangri-La New Year The Tibetan New Year festival lasts for 15 days. On the biggest holiday of the nation, dancing is in full swing in Hongpo Village. Shangri-La songs full of humor. Men: "May the elderly live long, the children be smart, and the wives be well-behaved~" Women: "The sun has risen and is at its zenith, but my husband is still dreaming. Is there no man who works as hard as an ox?" People gather in one house to cook and share food. It is similar to our holiday. Every day, one house is chosen to take turns, and a village feast is held throughout the holiday. ■ A female postman walking along the narrow, red dirt road in the remote areas of Shangri-La. Our hometown is on the road of postman 'La Ziwei'. Postman La Ziwei of the Yunling Township Post Office in Deqin County is in charge of all the postal work by herself. Here, too, letters are gradually decreasing. "Nowadays, there are more parcels and express mail. Letters have decreased. What I am holding now is also registered mail. There are almost no regular letters." There is a unique 'Gukdeunggak' temple on the rough postal delivery route in the remote areas. The white limestone pillars were made by parents pouring lime water on them for their children. It is said that if you entrust your children's fate to these limestone pillars, you will be safe and blessed. They say that they have grown this tall over hundreds of years... Postman La Ziwei can go to her hometown once or twice a year. She envies her neighbors who celebrate the holidays. But she has a long way to go. The village houses are scattered along the rugged mountain path that precariously hangs on the high ground in the mountains. “When I get close to a village, my body is so tired, but my heart is excited. Every time I arrive at a new place, I have expectations about the kindness of the villagers.” The Tibetan people of China’s Yunnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Shangri-La. Their unique and affectionate holiday festival scene that preserves the customs of a community that is disappearing in modern times. The simple and modest life of the Tibetan people. Their life is slow but leisurely. (KBS Wednesday Planning 2012.1.11.)
