there is an old saying in China? Different sounds in ten miles? It is said that folk songs have strong regionality. The reason why people in many places in the northwest can sing "Walking to the West" is probably that many Shanxi people have been to these places at that time, and some of them have been singing this song for a long time, and the locals have learned it. Baotou, now one of the largest cities in the world, has a population of over two million. More than a hundred years ago, it was just a small village called baoketu. Baotou people said that because Shanxi people came here to do business, they got the prototype of today's Baotou city little by little, and it is still circulating in Baotou city now?

Walking to the West Exit
It's hard to leave my little sister's words
Remember my brother
Take the road when you walk
Don't take the path
There are many people
Take flowers to relieve your worries
My little sister walks you away
Holding the hand of that brother
Sister me. The road
don't take the path
There are many people
Take flowers to relieve your sorrow
My little sister will walk you away
Holding that brother's hand
Sister, my tears are running
Holding my brother's hand
Sister, my tears are running.
