Qinghai Tibet Railway - On the run - Part 3
We were on the run, for the Chinese police and army.
We were walking and walking, trying to get rid of the police & army.
As we proceeded towards to mountains, once more, after those horrible memories.
We knew we would be save there for a while.
Once up on arrival, my wife, Dai, went in to labor.
We had another baby coming up, in these horrible times.
My brother and I built a shelter, made of wood.
My sister was helping my wife, my sister knew what she was going through.
Our shelter wasn't that good; yet it did what it was supposed to do. Protect us from rain & wind.
My wife was still in labor, it was turning night. We had to make a fire.
Four hours later, we had ourselves another beautiful baby, it was a boy.
He got named "Yul", everyone in our family agreed with it.
The following week, we stayed in our shelter, to let Dai regain power.
After the week, we moved on, with a baby.
Dai was a great mother during this hard trip, walking almost all day and taking care of a baby boy.
After walking for a long time, we managed to get to a village.
Which is known as "Haixi", it is very small.
My brother noticed that there was a radio tower, which was used to send out radio messages to our cities.
It got us all worried, would someone attempt to turn us in?
We stayed in the village for a couple days, after being on the run for over 4 weeks now.
Through the radio message, we heard that Sun Yat-sen has put a bounty on us, only if we'd be captured alive.
It got us all worried, now that money is going to be spend to get us back in our "cages".
My family decided it was best to directly move away from this village, move on to another village.
Just in case someone would try and get us arrested.
We all agree with this idea, we went walking, it seemed like it never had an end.
As my sister suggested, to travel towards Kumul, we had our doubts.
Eventually, we agreed and we were on our way to Kumul.
Not knowing someone, back in Haixi sent out a radio message about us, as soon as we left.
We had the police, the army and who not after us this time.
Only with our faces now being known and a bounty to make it even better.
