Bamu, 26, is a postwoman in Nyima county, Nagqu prefecture in west China’s Tibet Autonomous Region. With an average elevation of over 4,500 meters and adverse nature condition, Nyima county is often called the “no man’s land”. In 2006, carrying newspapers and letters, Bamu began to travel on foot or by motorcycle among the 7 villages where one household can be dozens of kilometers from another. It is common for her to walk for a whole day and camp out in the wild. Over the years, Bamu has traveled all over Nyima county, bringing anticipated mails to villagers. (Photo/Xinhua)
