Please see the background of this dance (trans.):
In the spring of 1941, director Zheng Junli went to Qinghai to shoot a movie and invited Wang Luobin, who was living in Xining City, Qinghai Province, to take part in the performance. The group traveled to the shores of Qinghai Lake. Zheng Junli found Fuma, the daughter of the head of a thousand households, to be the shepherdess in the movie. Wang Luobin put on a Tibetan robe? followed Fuma to drive the sheep. The filming work went out in the morning and returned at night, and Wang Luobin lived the life of a real shepherd in the movie world for three days. Zhuo Ma is a Tibetan girl, like a flower in the mountains and fields, with two big, dark eyes, a thick braid, and a colorful Tibetan dress with gold trim, wrapped around her fit body. The director arranged for Wang Luobin and Zhuo Ma to ride on the same horse. At first, Wang Luobin was very formal, sitting behind Zhuo Ma and gripping the saddle tightly with both hands. Zoma, however, paid no attention to this, and suddenly ran wildly on the horse, and Wang Luobin was caught unawares and instinctively hugged Zoma's waist. Zhuo Ma wildly galloped for a long time, in the prairie, which handed over the reins of the horse in the hands of Wang Luobin, leaning in his arms, no longer wild.
Dusk pastoral return, Zhuo Ma will gently point the flock into the fence, Wang Luobin looked at the evening sunlight dyed the whole body of Zhuo Ma. Zuo Ma felt his eyes, she turned around, tethered the sheep fence, the wandering red face to Wang Luobin - a 26-year-old Han Chinese young man. Fire jumped out of Zhuo Ma's eyes, and she lifted the whip in her hand, gently hitting Wang Luobin, then turned back and walked away.
Wang Luobin is still standing by the fence, staring blankly at Zhuo Ma, who disappeared into the night, and caressing the place where he was hit by Zhuo Ma. This playful, beautiful and spirited Tibetan girl had left a whip on him that he would never forget.
Wang Luobin wandered outside Zhuo Ma's father's tent, and the felt window fell down, separating the daughter of the head of the household from the Chinese musician.
The next morning, the movie team left Qinghai Lake to return to Xining. Zhuo Ma and her father rode on horseback, sending them off again and again, until they stopped on a small slope. Wang Luobin rode on the camel, could not stop looking back, with the hump ups and downs, camel bells tinkling, Wang Luobin heart emotion, into words, sang:
"In that faraway place, there is a good girl; people walk past her tent, all have to turn back to look fondly."
"Her pink smile was like the red sun, and her beautiful eyes were like the bright moon at night."
"I would forsake my possessions, and go with her to herd her sheep; and every day look at her charming eyes and that beautiful gold-trimmed garment ......"
