This time, I saw the grassland. The sky there was more lovely than elsewhere, the air so fresh, the sky so clear, that I always wanted to sing a song to show how happy I was. Beneath the sky, it was a thousand miles of blue, but not vast. There were hills on every side, and the flat land was green, and so were the hills. The sheep went up the knolls at one time and came down at another, and wherever they went it was as if they had embroidered the boundless green carpet with large white flowers.
The lines of those hills are so soft and beautiful, just like the Chinese paintings that are only rendered with green and not outlined with ink lines, everywhere the green color wants to flow, gently flowing into the clouds. This realm, both make people marvel, but also called people comfortable, both want to stand for a long time to look around, but also want to sit down and recite a small poem of strange and beautiful. In this realm, even the horses and cattle are sometimes still, as if recalling the infinite joys of the grasslands.
We visited Chenbalhu Banner. The automobile traveled one hundred and fifty miles to reach our destination. One hundred and fifty miles was all grassland. Another one hundred and fifty miles, also still grassland. The grassland is very free, as long as the direction is good, how to go can be. The first time into the grassland, can not hear a little sound, can not see anything, in addition to some of the birds fly suddenly fall.
Walked for a long time, far from seeing a meandering bright as a glass band - the river! Cattle and sheep abounded, and herds of horses were seen, with the faint light crack of whips. Almost there, almost there. Suddenly, as if blown by a gust of wind, a herd of horses appeared on a distant knoll, men, women, and children on them, dressed in all colors, and the herd galloped along, fluttering their flaps and dancing like a rainbow flying toward us.
This was the hosts who had come dozens of miles away to welcome their distant guests. Seeing us, the masters immediately turn the horse head, cheering, galloping, in the car around and in front of the lead. The silence of the grassland came to life: the sound of cheering, the sound of the car, the sound of horses' hooves, resounded into a piece. The car followed the horse flew over the hill, saw a few yurts.
Outside the yurt, many horses, many cars. There were many people, all coming from dozens of miles away to see us by horse or by car. The owners dismounted their horses and we got out of the cars. I don't know whose hands, always hot to hold, hold not loose. We all speak different languages, but our hearts are the same. Shook hands again and again, smiled and laughed. You say your, I say my, the general meaning is national unity and mutual help.
Somehow, I got into the Mongolian yurt. Milk tea on the pour, milk tofu on the set, host and guest are sitting cross-legged, who are polite, who are so intimate, not at all constrained. Not long ago, the hospitable host brought in a large plate of hand-held mutton. Cadres to us a toast, seventy-year-old man to us a toast. We toasted back, and the host raised his glass again, and we toasted back again.
This time, Ewenki girls wearing pointed hats, both generous, but also slightly shy, to sing folk songs to the guests. The singers we were traveling with also rushed to sing. The songs seem to be louder and more touching than any language, and no matter what is sung, the listener will always have a heartfelt smile.
After the meal, the boys performed horse lassoing and wrestling, and the girls performed folk dances. The guests also danced, sang, and had to ride a Mongolian horse. The sun was already in the west, and no one wanted to go. Yes! The Mongolian-Chinese love can't bear to say goodbye, the end of the world is the blue grass to talk about the slanting sun!
