The translation of grassland in the lyrics here are wrong, by the way. The reference is to the hay where the horse is sleeping. See the annotated transcript Popup Chinese has put online here:

This is how it happens in China, things are told indirectly, but they are told anyway. This is good to see that in China too, people are able to stand up for their rights.
