"I had thought America would be more developed, compared to some urban areas in Asia," Wang recalled. He'd grown up as a city boy in Kunming, a metropolis with over five million people among the misty jungle mountains of southwestern China."I thought I should learn the culture, and that meant learning the accent," he said.
Soon after he graduated in 2017, Wang began life as a cowboy at a cattle feedlot near the small town of Morton, west of Lubbock. He rode pen-to-pen checking on thousands of cattle under the mentorship of a diverse group of coworkers, many of them from multi-generational cowboy families, he said.
that drew thousands of followers curious about modern cowboy culture. People from as far away as India, Brazil and back home in China asked him for advice on how to develop a southern drawl, he said. "Even for Americans born and raised over here, the barriers into cattle and agriculture are getting higher and higher," he said."With people in disadvantaged places like rural areas, with technology there’s a realization that the future may change in ways not beneficial for them."
