Tashi Wangmu's family photo.
A happy Sino-Tibetan couple interpreted the true meaning of "national unity and family" with their actions. They crossed ethnic boundaries and walked hand in hand into the palace of marriage. In their view, differences between ethnic groups are not an obstacle, but a driving force for mutual understanding and trust. They support each other in work and life to face difficulties and challenges together. Today, together with the reporter, I walked into the House of National Unity of Liu Yuan and Tashi Wangmu, residents of Cuomei County, to experience their beautiful life.
At the beginning of February, this newspaper's New Year grassroots interview team went to the homes of Tashi Wangmu and Liu Yuan in Cuomei County, Shannan City. At this time, the sun has just risen, and the chill outside the house is hit, and Tashi Wangmu has just made a pot of steaming butter tea to relieve the chill. "Wangmu, is the butter tea ready? Then we're going to have breakfast. Husband Liu Yuan came over from the living room smelling the fragrance. A family of three, sitting in the sun room and starting to enjoy breakfast.
After more than 10 years of marriage, the couple gave birth to two lovely children, created their own warm life, and also gave birth to the flower of national unity. Today, their story is also told as a good story on the Zhegu steppe.
In 2009, Liu Yuan, a young man from Sichuan who worked as a chef at the logistics service center of Cuomei County, met Tashi Wangmu. Both sides left a good impression on each other in their usual contacts, and the hearts of the two young people became closer and closer. Soon after, they had the idea of starting a family, but they were opposed by both families.
Parents want their children to meet someone they can trust for life. Tashi Wangmu's parents did not know Liu Yuan's personality, and they were afraid that their daughter would be deceived and did not let them socialize; Liu Yuan's parents are worried that their son will find a girl who is far away, the language of the two sides is not compatible, and their living habits are also very different, so they are afraid that it will be difficult to get along in the future.
However, Liu Yuan decided that Tashi Wangmu was a good girl, and his firm attitude of not marrying Tashi Wangmu not only moved Tashi Wangmu's family, but also moved his parents in his hometown in Sichuan. In order to make his beloved girl feel at ease, Liu Yuan decided to settle down in Cuomei, and create happiness for both of them with his beloved girl in this beautiful Zhegu grassland.
Soon after, with the blessing of their families, the two of them got married. In the mutual support, the young couple's life is becoming more and more comfortable. The two opened a small restaurant in Cuomei County, with Liu Yuan as the chef and Tashi Wangmu as the accountkeeper, and the restaurant ran well.
With the birth of his eldest son, Liu Yuan loves his wife even more. When Tashi Wangmu was confined, Liu Yuan would change her tricks every day to replenish her body. "During confinement, my husband paid great attention to my diet and my body recovered quickly. Tashi Wangmu said.
After the birth of the eldest son, the grandparents regarded their grandson as a pearl in their palms and often came to visit Cuomei County. In order to let their in-laws in Sichuan have a thought, when the eldest son was 3 years old, the couple decided to send him to the old man. "My husband left his parents to stay in Cuomei for my sake, so although I was reluctant to give up, I decided to send my son to his grandparents so that the two old people could also have a companion. Similarly, considering that her mother-in-law is old and her life will inevitably be inconvenient, Liu Yuan took her to her side and lived together.
After years of hard work, the couple purchased a two-story Tibetan-style house in Cuomei County, and their life is getting better and better. Soon after, the birth of the youngest son added a sense of happiness to the family, and the days were more promising.
Every Spring Festival, Liu Yuan and his wife return to Sichuan to visit their parents. "When she came home, she did everything, both to my parents and to my relatives and friends. Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Liu Yuan couldn't help but praise.
Since getting married, Liu Yuan has a good habit, that is, no matter what happens, he has to go home to discuss with his wife, as long as his wife thinks it is not good, Liu Yuan will respect his wife's ideas. Marriage is not just about living together, but also about spiritual exchange, and it is a process of mutual attraction and appreciation. "After so many years of marriage, we have always respected each other and appreciated each other's advantages, so that we can continue to taste happiness and be worthy of the joy in our eyes. Liu Yuan said.
Over the years, the couple's love and hard work have also won praise from their neighbors. In December 2019, Liu Yuan was rated as a model individual for national unity and progress in Shannan City. "Liu Yuan taught us how to overcome difficulties and create our own happy life, and the couple is also the dawn of each other, illuminating each other's road to happiness ......Speaking of Liu Yuan and Tashi Wangmu, the neighbor commented.
