Cowherd's Life Story

A well-known and widely circulated story about a shepherd boy.

A man saw a cowherd on the mountain, so he had the following dialogue:

"What are you working so hard to herd cattle for?" ?

"For cows to sell money when they grow up."

"What do you earn money for?" ? "Take a wife."

"What about the wife?" ?

"Give birth to a baby." ?

"Then what?" ?

"Hey ... let the baby herd cattle, that's what my dad did."

This story will be circulated for at least several decades. Thirty years ago, a friend told this story at a party, and everyone thought it was a joke. They all think that Cowherd is short-sighted, ambitious and miserable. Therefore, everyone will disdain and sneer at Cowherd's thinking of "not making progress" in the ravine. Because at that time, there was full of pride, "love will win."

Thirty years later, I discovered that the original intention of life should be very broad, and the lifestyle and survival mode are rich and colorful. It is necessary to work hard in life, but not everyone should work hard to squeeze the same "single-plank bridge". Cowboys' hard work of herding cattle is also an effort. China people in agricultural society have been working hard for thousands of years.

Cowboys, children who used to herd cattle for landlords. In addition, it also made special mention of China youth "Wang Erxiao, an anti-Japanese hero".

China juvenile anti-Japanese hero. 1929 was born in Shangzhuang Village, Laiyuan County, Hebei Province. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Wang Erxiao's hometown was an anti-Japanese base of the Eighth Route Army, which was often "swept" by Japanese devils. Wang Erxiao is a member of the Children's Alliance. He often stands guard for the Eighth Route Army when grazing cattle on the hillside.

1942 10 10/25 (September of the lunar calendar 16), the Japanese came to "mop up" again and got lost when they reached the mountain pass.

The enemy saw Wang Erxiao herding cattle on the hillside and asked him to lead the way. Wang Erxiao pretended to be obedient and went ahead. In order to defend the villagers in hiding, he led the enemy into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. Suddenly, gunfire rang out in all directions, and the enemy knew that he had been cheated, so he killed Wang Erxiao angrily with a bayonet.

Wang Erxiao, a witty and brave little hero, was brutally killed by the Japanese invaders and died in Langyakou Village, Laiyuan County at the age of 13. Just then, the Eighth Route Army rushed down from the mountain and wiped out all the enemies. ?
