As for why she came to Kunlun, there are probably two possibilities for people to get to know her gradually. The first one was when her husband came to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to build roads, and she came with him. However, the construction conditions were poor at that time, and many safety measures were not in place. Her husband disappeared in a landslide accident. He died because he was not found by the search and rescue personnel in time.
But Yang Li still doesn't believe that her husband died like this. She thought her husband would definitely come back, so she kept waiting on the Qinghai-Tibet line. There is also a saying that Yang Li's son used to be a soldier in Kunlun Mountain, but he died unexpectedly. Coincidentally, there was indeed a young man named Yang who was a soldier here and died unexpectedly on duty. It is speculated that this soldier is Yang Li's son.
Views on Yang Li
Yang Li and Meng Jiangnv had similar experiences, but Yang Li didn't cry blindly like Meng Jiangnv. She chose to stick to the land where her husband had cultivated, protect it and help passers-by.
No matter whether Yang Li lives here because of her husband or son or other reasons, it is worthy of our admiration that Yang Li can persist in hard conditions for more than 20 years. In our life, everyone has something to stick to, maybe faith, maybe the bottom line and so on. Anyway, since you have decided to stick to it, don't give up easily.
After 20 years' hard life on Kunlun Mountain, Yang Li described herself as haggard and had no "goddess" temperament, but only those who know her can understand that Yang Li has a pure, noble, tenacious and fearless soul and is a well-deserved "goddess". Yang Li's life, dedication and loyalty are eternal themes.
