Tsering Gyalpo, who was born in Shigatse, is the only railway worker in his village. "It is a matter of pride to be able to use what I have learned to guard the safe operations of the first electrified railway in my hometown." Today's Tsering Gyalpo has already overcome his fears and adapted to working at heights. In the past, it took a day for him to return home from Lhasa.
