Ten years ago, Mike Parent arrived in the Tibet autonomous region to teach at the Braille Without Borders vocational school. Palden Nyima finds out why the Canadian intends to stay here until the end of his days.

The sky stretched out clear and bright above our heads as we approached the remote village nestled among willows and fields high in the mountains.

There was the laughter of children and the smell of butter tea as we arrived at the school we had arranged to visit, which was easy to spot, as "Braille Without Borders" was written conspicuously on a wall in three languages.

The man we have come to interview, a Canadian who has lived here for almost 10 years, and who intends to be buried here, warmly welcomed us with the traditional Tibetan greeting, "tashidelek", and cups of tea.

When Mike Parent first came to Baishung township in Xigaze prefecture in the Tibet autonomous region to teach at the Braille Without Borders vocational school, the children called him an old monkey because of his hairy arms. Now, after almost a decade of "being together 24 hours a day, seven days a week", the 70-year-old is called "chigyal pola" - which means "foreign grandpa".

"At the beginning they called me here because they needed me. Now 10 years later they don't need me, they want me to stay because they love me," he says.

It was a chance encounter that brought Parent to Baishung. He met Sabriye Tenberken, the German woman who co-founded Braille Without Borders, when he was studying the Tibetan language and culture at Tibet University from 1998 to 2000.

He started by aiding the school financially, but when she asked him if he would be interested in teaching organic farming to visually impaired people in Tibet, Parent immediately agreed. In 2005, he started showing how to plant vegetables and crops on a very small piece of land.

According to Parent, with 1-square-meter of land, visually impaired people need only to stretch out their hands to cultivate and harvest vegetables.

The school has six greenhouses for planting crops, and 12 mini greenhouses that they use for teaching. And Parent also teaches the students how to produce organic fertilizer.

"We feed 100 people three meals a day ourselves," says Parent proudly.

According to official statistics, 30,000 of the 2.5 million inhabitants of the Tibet autonomous region are visually impaired. Compared to most areas in the world, this is well above the average ratio. "Before I came to the blind village, I had never seen the brighter world. I am happy here because I found equality here," says Tsering, 35, from Tibet's Shannan prefecture, who lost his sight four years ago.

Parent says many adult visually impaired people such as Tsering really love the community and are reluctant to leave.

"It is one of our difficulties. The donors don't want it to be a retirement home for blind people. But after they have learned how to make bread and it is time to leave, they find it hard to say goodbye."

But he says the purpose of the vocational center is to improve the students' self-esteem and help them become contributing members of society.

Teaching organic farming is just one of the things Parent does at the vocational school. He also teaches animal husbandry and every evening after supper, he teaches English. He is also a fitness coach to the children.

Every morning, he gets up early and opens the gym and takes the visually impaired children through some exercises and teaches them to use the various sports equipment available.

"Most of them are still young, they need to move frequently. I don't want to see them sitting in a corner all the time," he says.

Such dedication is appreciated by the students and those who work with him.

"Parent always thinks about others," says Ardon Ngawang Drolma, 38, the school principal. "He spends all his money on others and doesn't have any savings. Once, I found he only had 10 yuan ($1.63) in his pocket."

"He told us simply one day that we should bury him on top of the hill after he died," she adds. "That is unforgettable."

"They can live without me, but I think I cannot live without them. In my heart, they are part of my family," Parent says.

When the interview ended, with his rough chapped hands, he shook hands with us, a big smile on his face.

日喀則邊雄鄉位于距拉薩250多公里的雅江左側一座小山腳下，山腳下有個不起眼的藏族小村莊，很難想象這個偏僻的小村莊里竟然有所盲文無國界組織技能培訓學校。

當本報記者到達這里時，孩子們純真的歌聲和醇香的酥油茶味從一個落滿黃葉的大院中隱隱傳來。一位精神矍鑠的加拿大老人笑容可掬地說著“扎西德勒”這句藏族最吉祥的問候語，并獻上哈達前來迎接。

這位老人就是邁克·詹姆斯·帕蘭特。正是他指引一群失去光明的藏族孩子第一次開始認識自我、第一次開始擁有夢想、第一次觸摸到有“色彩”的生活。

70歲的帕蘭特先生說：“當初他們請我到這里來是因為他們需要我，轉眼十年過去，他們已經不再需要我的幫助，但他們卻不斷地挽留我在這里，因為他們已經發自內心的愛上了我。”

帕蘭特先生回憶起當時剛到盲校工作的情景，孩子們對這個金發碧眼的外國人充滿好奇，不斷撫摸他手上的體毛，以及他高高的鼻子，孩子們甚至以為他是一只來自遙遠國度的猴子，一直不敢親近。如今，孩子們已經深深的愛上了這位可愛的外國老頭了。

在盲文無國界組織技能培訓中心，帕蘭特扮演著很多重要的角色。在農田里他是位有機農耕推廣者；在學校里他不僅僅扮演著英語教師的角色，甚至身兼司機、健身教練等數職；在養牛場，他是一位畜牧培訓師，隨著時間的推移，他最終被孩子們接納，孩子們更是親切地稱他為“齊杰波拉”(藏語意為“老外爺爺”)。

這里海拔接近4000米，在這樣一個高寒缺氧，自然條件艱苦的環境下，究竟是什么原因讓這位加拿大老人如此不辭辛勞的無償工作，而且一待就是10年之久？

許多陌生人常常會好奇地問他究竟為什么會甘愿在一個偏遠的高海拔山區默默奉獻，對于帕蘭特而言，這既是命運的安排，又的確是一個他從未認真思考過的問題。

1998年至2004年，當時在西藏大學攻讀藏學專業的他結識了盲文無國界組織創始人薩布瑞亞，當薩布瑞亞得知帕蘭特是一位農業專家后，便邀請他到邊雄盲校推廣有機農耕技術。出于對薩布瑞亞的敬佩和對盲人的同情，他欣然應邀。

自2003年開始，帕蘭特開始以募捐資金等方式資助邊雄盲校。2005年他更是親來到這所盲校，為盲人們傳授如何在小面積的土地上播種蔬菜、花草、及藥用植物，并輔導他們如何制作天然肥料。

帕蘭介紹說，“這些耕地面積只有一平方米，盲人和視力殘疾人可以站在花園外進行播種、收割、并通過觸摸了解植物的長勢。”

據帕蘭特介紹，該盲校擁有6個用來播種莊稼的溫室大棚，以及12個用于教學的有機蔬菜培植以及制作天然肥料的微型溫室大棚。

“我們用自己的雙手為100多人供應一日三餐所用的蔬菜，”帕蘭特驕傲地說。

為了不讓化學肥料對盲童的身體造成再次傷害，因此帕蘭特一直以來都堅持使用有機化肥。

“這些培訓的主要目的，是為了幫助這些孩子找到自身存在的價值，并獲得家庭和社會的認可，”帕蘭特語重心長的說。

除了有機農耕培訓和天然化肥制作外，盲校的技能培訓還包括卡墊編織、奶酪制作、面包烘焙、殘疾人按摩等八個專業，孩子們進入盲校后，有6到8個月的時間學習并掌握這些專業技能。

來自西藏山南地區的次仁驕傲地告訴記者，“沒來盲人培訓中心之前，我從未想過我的生活會變得如此有意義，在這里我過得充實而幸福、在這里我同樣學會了通過勞動自力更生，”四年前的一場變故讓他突然失去了視力。

帕蘭特說，像次仁這樣的盲人，一旦到了培訓中心，就不愿回去了，因為他們在這里學會了通過自己的勞動證明自己的價值，并贏得他人的尊重。

“募捐者和培訓中心的老師們不想讓這個盲人培訓中心變成盲人退休基地，但當我們的盲人學員們剛剛學會怎樣制作一張烙餅或其它技能后，當他們離開培訓中心時，他們發現向培訓中心的朋友們說一聲‘再見’是如此之難”，帕蘭特說。

每天清晨，帕蘭特都會早早起床，并打開健身房的門，帶領盲人學員們來到健身房鍛煉身體，并指導他們如何正確的使用這些健身器材。

“他們如此年輕，需要通過運動強健體魄，我不想看到他們整天靜靜地呆在一個角落里一動不動，”帕蘭特說。

38歲的阿珍是這所培訓中心的校長，她也是帕蘭特的最佳搭檔之一。據阿珍介紹，帕蘭特總是在為別人著想。“帕蘭特把所有的錢都用在別人身上，而他自己卻沒有任何存款。有一次，我驚奇的發現他的口袋里只有10元人民幣。”

“帕蘭特曾經告訴我們，如果有一天當他離開這個世界時，就把他的尸體埋在后面那座山上，他的愿望竟是如此簡單。”對于阿珍來說，這是一件難忘的回憶。

“現在他們沒有我也可以生活，但此刻我在想，如果沒有他們，我將面對怎樣的生活，因為他們早已與我親如一家人，”帕蘭特說。

功夫不負有心人。據阿珍校長介紹，如今，在帕蘭特和同事們的努力下，盲校的很多孩子都考入了普通學校。“在日喀則地區，我們有30個盲人學生，他們分布在各個學校，其中的4個孩子順利地考上了大學，他們的成績甚至超過了一些視力正常的學生。”

帕蘭特于2013年獲得中國政府頒發的“友誼獎”，這一獎項頒發給了來自20個國家的50位專家。當提到如何看待他獲得的“國際友誼獎”這個榮譽時，他謙虛地說這個獎項不僅僅是頒發給他個人的。“我非常愿意接受這個榮譽，因為對我來說，這簡直就像自己的子女們向長輩表達謝意，從中我可以感覺到他們喜歡我，他們想讓我繼續待下去。”

當結束采訪離開時，日喀則的天空陽光明媚，院子里傳來孩子們天真無邪的嬉笑聲和嘹亮自信的歌聲，帕蘭特微笑著用他那滿是傷痕的手與記者們握手道別……
