Truck couples are a special social group and the epitome of countless low-level workers.
As 2018 was about to end, the news that a couple who had entered the Tibetan truck passed away on the way to deliver goods made many people unable to let go.
Many people can't understand how the two who were still live streaming the night before said that they were gone?
The truck couple is a villager in Nizhuang Village, Laoguanzhai Village, Linxi County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, the husband is named Ni Wanhui, and the wife is named Li Chan.
How did this tragedy happen?
Ni Wanhui's family conditions are not good, and he was not admitted to university, so he dropped out of school early to work.
After entering the society, he realized that his little ink was not enough to support him to find a high-paying job.
Later, he met Li Chan, and after the two met, they felt that each other was quite suitable, so they got married and had children step by step.
The birth of his son made Ni Wanhui feel unprecedented pressure to make money.
But in this part of Linxi County, it is not easy to find a high-paying job by working as a coolie?
So Ni Wanhui, like most adult men in the area, took out a loan to buy a large truck, and relied on traveling back and forth between places to earn living expenses to support his family.
It was also at that time that Ni Wanhui met Li Yanming, a peer from a neighboring village.
Because their hometown is close to each other, and both of them are card friends, Li Yanming, who entered the industry first, takes great care of Ni Wanhui.
At that time, Ni Wanhui was still an apprentice, following the driver to learn sports cars, and slowly studying how to find a source of goods to pull goods.
Li Yanming saw that Ni Wanhui was steady, righteous, and never played tricks, and the relationship gradually became closer, and he became a friend who talked about everything.
Every time they get out of the car or go home, the two people will contact each other, and if the time and place can coincide, the two will meet on the road.
The local voice and care when wandering in a foreign land are the greatest comfort and motivation for cardholders on the long driving road.
Ni Wanhui knew that he was not as alert as others, so he did not look for a full-time logistics company, but worked with Li Yanming to find the source of goods by himself.
His wife Li Chan knew that it was not easy to run a big car, and proposed to follow the car, and the in-laws immediately said that the two children would be handed over to them to take care of, and the young couple would make money with peace of mind.
It is said that home and everything is prosperous, and Ni Wanhui has a very strong experience of this sentence.
In order to live up to the expectations of his family, he worked harder than other truck drivers, picking those routes with high freight costs.
Shipping costs are generally linked to distance, but there are some special places, such as **.
The altitude here is high, the danger factor is also high, and the distance is long, which is equivalent to exchanging youth for money.
Ni Wanhui often travels back and forth between **, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Chongqing and Guangdong, and can get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan each time, and the corresponding time to go out is also based on months.
It sounds like you can make a lot of money by running a long distance, but in fact, excluding various expenses and car loans, you can barely get more than 10,000 yuan a month.
Of all the lines, the most bitter ** line.
The altitude here is high, the oxygen is thin, and many people will have altitude sickness when they arrive here, and they may die at any time if they are not rescued in time.
Every time he runs, Ni Wanhui will bring a tank of oxygen with the car, and replenish oxygen in time when he feels uncomfortable.
Like most truck drivers, Ni Wanhui has always been reluctant to let his wife go with the car, because it is too bitter and dangerous. Only when I go to some cities in the south, I will take my wife with me, and I will take my son with me if the distance is not tense, so I will take it as a family trip.
This accident was the first time Ni Wanhui ran ** that year, and he didn't twist his wife, so it was also the first time Li Chan went to ** in his life.
No one expected that the accident would occur this time.
After Li Chan followed the car, she began to post some of the daily life of the two of them on the ** platform, so that netizens could see the real life of the truck couple.
On the evening of December 26, 2018, Li Chan opened the live broadcast to chat with netizens as usual, saying that she had arrived in Wudaoliang and should be able to go to Lhasa tomorrow.
But because of the strong altitude sickness, both of them have already put on oxygen tubes, and their eyes are a little loose and confused.
Because the itinerary is relatively consistent, Li Yanming communicated with Ni Wanhui at 8 o'clock in the evening and made an appointment to meet in Lhasa tomorrow.
However, at eight o'clock the next morning, Li Yanming wanted to ask Ni Wanhui if he had gone, and when he was expected to meet at the next time, he suddenly found that he couldn't get through.
A hint of uneasiness welled up in my heart.
When I arrived at Wudaoliang, my father cried and called my mother again. It's a common saying, but behind it are bloody stories.
Wudaoliang is as high as more than 4,600 meters above sea level, and the oxygen is extremely thin, which is the most difficult section of the Qinghai-Tibet line, and people in the plains often have very serious altitude sickness when they arrive here.
Li Yanming didn't have Li Chan's **, so he began to inquire around.
I finally found the number, dialed it or turned it off.
Li Yanming didn't dare to delay and immediately called the police.
Just when he was worried, he heard a news that the police of the Wudaoliang Police Station in Qumalai County, Qinghai Province found Ni Wanhui's truck on the provincial road, and the two of them were in the car, but the person had already left, and the body was cold.
What's even more unrelieved is that just ten days before Ni Wanhui's accident, his eldest son had just passed his 11th birthday.
The news of Ni Wanhui's accident made his fans very uncomfortable, and people who were also card friends also spontaneously organized an action to send Ni Wanhui home.
helped Ni Wanhui deliver the goods to the place, then packed up the car and drove back to Ni Wanhui's hometown, and handed over the payment for this trip to Ni Wanhui's mother.
Other cardholders carried the bodies of Ni Wanhui and sent them to their hometown in Hebei.
January 1, 2019 was supposed to be a celebrated Spring Festival, but it was also the day of the funeral of Ni Wanhui and his wife Li Chan.
Countless truck drivers spontaneously came to Ni Wanhui's home to attend the funeral, and nearby villagers also came to help.
The eleven-year-old son, dressed in filial piety clothes, stared blankly at the black and white portrait of his parents, and the young man who used to laugh, his eyes were red and swollen, and he stood there dumbfoundedly without saying a word.
The two-year-old brother was very curious on the side, he didn't know what was going on, but he knew that his brother was unhappy, so he repeatedly stepped forward and hugged his brother tightly, wiping his tears.
Considering that the two children have lost their parents and have no financial support, the local civil affairs department included the two children in the scope of assistance and security, and each person will be given a security fund of 700 yuan per month before the two become adults.
Ni Wanhui is just one example, every year a truck driver falls on the road into Tibet. It's not that they don't know the dangers, and it's not that they don't want to make money.
They are just ordinary people who have no choice and work hard to make a living, and they just want their wives and children to live a better life.
And this is both the simplest desire of truck drivers.
