Story Summary

A touching story of persevering in delivering letters during a snowstorm.

In a remote town in Russia, there is a small snow - covered post office. The winters here are always blizzard - ridden, but there is a very dedicated postman in the post office named Andrei. Andrei's job is to deliver letters and parcels to everyone waiting in this cold winter.

Every morning, when the world is still buried under thick snow, Andrei gets up early. He puts on a thick cotton - padded coat, a warm hat and gloves, and then walks into the post office. The post office is filled with the smell of paper and ink. Those piles of letters and parcels are his tasks for the day.

Andrei trudging hard in the snow

Andrei carefully packs the letters and parcels into his mailbag. The mailbag is heavy, but his face is full of determination. He opens the door of the post office, and a bone - chilling cold wind mixed with snowflakes blows towards him, but he doesn't hesitate at all and resolutely walks into the blizzard. It is snowing heavily, and Andrei has to exert a great deal of effort with every step he takes. His footprints in the snow are quickly covered by the newly - fallen snow. But he holds the mailbag tightly as if it were the most precious thing in the world. He knows that these letters and parcels are of great significance to the people waiting. Maybe they are the longing of distant relatives or important documents.

As he walks, Andrei comes across a steep hillside. The snow on the hillside has frozen and is very slippery. Andrei climbs up carefully. Several times he nearly slips, but he uses the mailbag in his hand to support himself and continues to move forward. His face is frozen red, and his eyebrows and eyelashes are covered with snowflakes, but his eyes always shine with firmness.

Andrei delivering a letter at the door of a household

After a long and arduous journey, Andrei finally arrives at the first household. He knocks gently on the door, and it opens soon. An old granny stands at the door. When she sees Andrei, a look of surprise and gratitude appears on her face. Andrei takes out the letter from the mailbag and hands it to the granny. The granny takes the letter and gently strokes it with her rough hands, with tears glistening in her eyes. She says a lot of thank - you words to Andrei and invites him in for a cup of hot tea, but Andrei refuses with a smile. He knows that there are still a lot of letters waiting for him to deliver.

Andrei continues on his way, delivering letters and parcels from one household to another. Although his body is already very tired, every time he sees the recipient's smile, he feels that all the hard work is worthwhile. On this cold snowy day, Andrei is like a warm messenger, spreading hope and love to everyone.

When night falls, Andrei finally finishes delivering all the letters and parcels. He drags his tired body back to the post office. The light in the post office looks especially warm in the snowy night. Andrei sits on the chair, looking at the empty mailbag, with a satisfied smile on his face. He knows that today he has completed another great mission. In this winter full of raging blizzards, he is an important bond connecting people's emotions.
