The man who moved a mountain


There are people who say love can move mountains. 

This might not be physically possible, but Dashrath Manjhi, 

also known as the ‘Mountain Man’, came quite close. 

In one day of his life, his wife fell while crossing a nearby hill and hurt herself seriously. 

She needed quick medical assistance, 

but that wasn’t possible due to the hill that isolated their small village from the next town. 

Tragically enough, his wife died from the serious injuries before Dashrath could do anything about it.

 It was the night when Dashrath Manjhi decided to carve a small path through the mountain in order to give his village easier access to medical assistance.


It was an ambitious plan and he was heavily ridiculed for it.

 But after working for 22 years with the greatest determination and willpower,a path was carved into the hill.

 Even though he was initially mocked and ridiculed for his mission to give his hometown easier access to the nearby town, 

he finally succeeded. His life’s work helped to reduce the distance between the two towns from 55 km to only 15 km,

 so that never again such a thing would happen.

那位移动一座山的人


有人说爱情可以移山。这可能在物理上是不可能的，

但Dashrath Manjhi，也被称为“山人”，非常接近。

在他生命中的某一天，他的妻子在翻越附近的一座小山时不小心摔倒了，受了重伤。

她需要迅速的医疗援助，但这是不可能的，因为这座山把他们的小村庄与邻镇隔开了。

不幸的是，他的妻子在达什瑞斯采取任何行动之前就因重伤而死。

那天晚上，达什拉斯·曼吉(Dashrath Manjhi)决定在山上开辟一条小路，以便让他的村庄更容易获得医疗援助。

这是一个雄心勃勃的计划，因此他遭到了人们的嘲笑。

但是，在以最大的决心和毅力工作了22年之后，这座山被凿出了一条路。

尽管他的任务是让家乡更容易地进入附近的城镇，因此一开始他受到了嘲笑和奚落，但他最终还是成功了。

他毕生的工作帮助把两个城镇之间的距离从55公里缩短到15公里，这样就不会再发生这样的事情了。
