On this day, 61 years ago, February 10, 1964 (December 27, 1963, the lunar calendar), Long Mei and Yurong defeated the snowstorm and protected the flock of sheep. Grassland heroic little sisters Long Mei and Yurong On February 10, 1964, Long Mei and Yurong fought heroically against the snowstorm and protected the flock of sheep in the commune. On the morning of February 9, snowflakes were floating on the grassland of Darhan Maomingan United Banner. Wu Tianxi, a herdsman of the Xinbaolige Commune, had to go out to help people paint the house and had no time to herd sheep. His two daughters Longmei, eleven years old, and Yurong, nine years old, asked their mother to allow them to go out to graze. Towards noon, the northwest wind was blowing hard and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The sheep fled desperately along the wind, but the two sisters couldn't stop them and had to follow. After a while, the temperature dropped to minus 36 degrees, and my sister Yurong's face was swollen with cold. After walking for three or four hours, the sky gradually became dark. The two sisters discussed that they would stay in the wild that night and decided not to leave the flock. Due to extreme fatigue, they slowly fell asleep. Late at night, Long Mei woke up from the cold. She opened her eyes and saw that the flock of sheep and sister were gone. She walked all the way and shouted Yurong. After walking for two or three miles, she found Yurong and the flock of sheep. At dawn the next day, Long Mei found that one of Yurong's felt boots had been lost and her bare left foot was stuck in the snow. My sister was just about to take off her felt boots and give them to her, but her sister trembled and urged her to hurry up and drive the sheep. Long Mei was frozen and struggled to walk to the train station. Wang Fuchen, the railway station switch operator, saw it and hurriedly took her into the switch room, where he rubbed her frozen little hands with snow. Long Mei spat out a few words intermittently: "My sister, under the stone slope... When the railway workers discovered Xiao Yuurong, her lower body was covered by heavy snow. In this way, the two sisters fought against the wind and snow for a day and night, and walked more than seventy miles. Only three of the 384 sheep froze to death. After the support and rescue from all parties and the careful care of medical staff, Long Mei and Yurong recovered to health. Ulanfu (first from right) visited Long Mei and Yurong in the hospital
