我出生于吕梁山区的一个小山村,十一岁时才上学。从六岁到十一岁,一直放羊,是村里小有名气的小羊工。那时,我放羊的诀窍是,哄好头羊。那只头羊,脸上长着两片黑毛,我叫它花脸。花脸比别的羊聪明,能听懂我的话。我让它上山,它就带着羊群上山;我让它下坡,它就带着羊群下坡;我让它停下,它就带着羊群停下。头羊听话了,羊群就好放。 I was born in a small mountain village in Luliang Mountain District and was only 11 when I was in school. From the age of six to eleven, shepherding sheep has always been the little-known lambher in the village. At that time, the trick I put sheep was to coax the good sheep. That head of sheep, face with two black hair, I call it face. Face smarter than other sheep, can understand my words. When I let it up the mountain, it went uphill with the flock; I let it downhill, and it went downhill with the flock; I stopped it and it stopped with the flock. Sheep obedient, flocks like to put.
