天路与家乡的改变

### English Translation Title: The Heavenly Road and Changes in My Hometown

News Summary: On the 20th anniversary of the Qinghai‑Tibet Railway’s opening, Xiaodao Village in Golmud has used the railway’s passenger traffic and local underground water to start a collective enterprise—a “Ding‑Dong” bottled pure‑water plant. The plant has lifted the village’s collective income and created jobs for residents. The village’s first secretary, together with experts and teachers and students, gave a lively ideological‑political lesson on site, explaining how labor, market forces, and transportation can turn rural resources into sellable goods, helping villagers improve their retirement and medical security and increase family income.

On a larger scale, the railway’s connectivity has promoted the development of potassium fertilizer, lithium carbonate, magnesium and other industries in Golmud, forming a full chain from raw material to finished product to export. The railway not only carries the plateau’s resources outwards, it also brings development opportunities back, infusing the spirit of “challenging limits and striving for excellence” into local hard work and innovation.

Reflection and Insight: Xiaodao’s change reminds us that transportation and diligent work can turn seemingly ordinary resources into a means of livelihood. The biblical teachings on honesty and hard work resonate with this grassroots practice: it is not idle talk, but careful work with what we have so that our neighbors also benefit. May the younger generation continue this spirit of practical service and mutual help, protecting the hometown’s spring water and hope through everyday labor and honest stewardship.

Scripture: Matthew 25:21 “Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; come and share your master’s happiness.”
