The original text of "Old Scalper", a poem about cattle by Zang Kejia:

The water and mud in the wasteland are dug deeply and carefully to make things.

Lao Niu also understands that time is valuable, and he does not wait for the whip to be raised.

"No need to wait for the whip to rise" means that people with ambitions will consciously move towards their goals without external pressure. This is a poem written by the poet when he was over seventy years old.

With the help of the image of an old scalper who works tirelessly, keeps growing stronger, and strives for self-improvement, he praises the working people’s heroic ambitions of “an old man who aims for a thousand miles, a martyr who is still ambitious in his old age” and his desire to serve the motherland in his own lifetime. and the determination of the people to give their all.
