Little Sisters of the Grassland



6. Little Sisters of the Grassland

In February 1964, Mongol sisters Long Mei and Yu Rong found themselves in a snow storm while grazing sheep for the commune. In an attempt to protect the sheep they risked their lives fighting the blizzard for a whole day, sustaining multiple injuries. After that, they became known as heroines of the grassland throughout the country.
