"Feed the pigs and spare the sheep" song title is "Spare the Sheep".
Recently there was an online adaptation of the song "Childhood" sung by Netflix with the title "Spare the Sheep". The full version of the original song is Half Ton Brothers, and the lyrics are about fond memories of childhood.
The countryside in the early seventies, when I was in elementary school, there was no electricity, and there were not so many electrical appliances, not to mention some electronic products. When a car occasionally drove by on the dirt highway behind the village, it would be seen by the townspeople at the head of the village, and if they found out that it was driven by a woman driver, they would be even more surprised. I feel that the car is very far away from us, and I don't even have the luxury of sitting in it, not to mention driving it in style one day in the future.
When I was a child, I don't remember any model theater, there was no TV at home, so I went to the pigsty after school and did my homework at night under the kerosene lamp. I'm afraid that the most important thing that can upset the boring rural life is the movie at night. At that time, movies were not available every day, but often came to the village once every three or two months. At that time, there was a special movie projectionist in the village, and when they met him on the road, the villagers would always ask, "Is there a movie? Which village is it going to be shown in the evening?"
They are the only ones who have ever been to a movie theater.
After dinner, everyone gathered at the village's wheat field with benches on their shoulders, usually with the projector as the centerpiece, filling the wheat field. My mother often took us to sit behind the screen to avoid the crowds. The noisy crowd would soon quiet down when the movie started, and everyone watched with bated breath and entered into the atmosphere. Two movies were usually shown in a night, and "The Never Fading Radio," "The Mysterious Buddha," "The Shining Red Star," "The Tunnel War," and so on all left a deep impression in those days.
"I've fed the pigs and let the sheep go" full lyrics
I've fed the pigs and let the sheep go, I've forgotten my keys and gone over the wall. I've cut the grass and picked up the wheat, I've baked yams and eaten them with my mouth blackened. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on a new one. I have pulled garlic and dug onions, and lit kerosene lamps at night. I've jumped rope and watched plays, and I've run several miles to see a movie. I've cut grass, burned pots, and sometimes poked a hornet's nest. I've drank cold water and chewed cold bread, and I've learned ah-oh-oh in school.
