2008年3月19日，新华社摄影记者索朗罗布在拉萨市堆龙德庆区古荣镇定格珍贵瞬间：农牧民巴桑次仁赶着耕牛犁地，一列青藏铁路列车从身后驶过，传统农耕与现代交通在此交汇。“这张照片我见过，记者拍完就给我看了，后来我记得还登上报纸了。” 巴桑次仁记忆犹新。

In 2008, Xinhua photographer Sonam Norbu captured a moment marking the intersection of traditional farming and modern transportation. In the image, Pasang Tsering, a Tibetan farmer in Gurum Township of Lhasa, was plowing a field with yaks while a train on the Qinghai-Xizang Railway passed behind him. "The journalist showed me the photo right after he took it. I learned it was published in the newspaper later," Pasang Tsering recalled.

如今，青藏铁路通车二十载，他的生活也伴着飞驰的列车蒸蒸日上。初夏时节，高原油菜花盛放。记者再次见到巴桑次仁时，他正在金黄花田间为女儿拍照留念，身旁停着一台手扶拖拉机。如今依靠现代化农机耕作，生产效率大幅提升。青藏铁路通车后，各类农业机械、零配件低成本入藏，先进技术经验不断传入，推动西藏农业生产方式持续升级。

Nearly two decades later, both Pasang Tsering's life and the landscape around him have changed alongside the railway. During a recent revisit, Pasang Tsering was seen photographing his daughter in a blooming cole flower field, with a walking tractor parked nearby. Nowadays, he makes use of modern agricultural machinery, which greatly improves farming efficiency. The opening of the Qinghai-Xizang Railway has made agricultural machinery and advanced farming technologies more accessible in Xizang.

2017年，巴桑次仁建起宽敞明亮的两层混凝土小楼，告别了过去简陋的房屋。青藏铁路大幅降低建材运输成本，让农牧民建房更实惠，带动西藏农村居住条件显著改善。

In 2017, Pasang Tsering moved into a spacious two-story concrete house. The railway has reduced transportation costs for construction materials, making it more affordable for rural families to build new houses.

巴桑次仁在田间劳作时总喜欢望着驶过的列车。他盼着孩子能坐火车外出求学，也期待着自己能乘着火车，走出西藏看一看。

Today, Pasang Tsering still enjoys looking up at trains passing by his fields. He hopes his son will one day take the train to study outside Xizang, and he could also travel by rail to explore the country he lives in.
