Life
He was born in 1931 in a village near Mianeh. On a November night in the year 1961, when he was 32 years old, he noticed that a railway was blocked by boulders that had fallen from a mountain. To stop the train that was heading towards the boulders, he ran in front of it, removed his clothes and set fire to them on a stick. However, the train did not stop and he had to fire several bullets into the air with his hunting gun to notify the train drivers. The story of his sacrifice was then written in Iran's schoolbooks as a role model for children to follow.{{Cite web, date=2017-12-03, title=جهانگيري: داستان دهقان فداكار مشق درس و حس خاطره انگيز دانش آموزان نسل ما است, url=https://www.irna.ir/news/82751365/%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AF%D9%87%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%81%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%B4%D9%82-%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%B3-%D9%88-%D8%AD%D8%B3-%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%8A%D8%B2-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4-%D8%A2%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%86, access-date=2021-11-11, website=ایرنا, language=fa, archive-date=2021-11-11, archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211111064754/https://www.irna.ir/news/82751365/%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%AF%D9%87%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%81%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%B4%D9%82-%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%B3-%D9%88-%D8%AD%D8%B3-%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%8A%D8%B2-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B4-%D8%A2%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%A7%D9%86, url-status=live He died in 2017 at the age of 86, from severe pulmonary complication in a hospital inReferences
