2026年1月13日，位於寧夏平羅縣寶豐鎮中方村的一隻年僅10天的小羊羔，因展現出「裝死」絕技而意外走紅全網，迅速成為網友熱議的焦點。這隻小羊原本是金小林家準備出售的商品，但在交易過程中，由於牠突然倒地、呈現一副「假死」狀態，買家誤以為小羊有疾病，最終放棄了收購。這一小插曲被金小林拍攝並上傳至網絡後，瞬間吸引大量觀看與討論，甚至有人出價近13萬元人民幣求購，卻仍被婉拒。

金小林表示，自己並非單純為了小羊賺錢，而是希望借助牠的網路人氣來推廣家鄉的特產，包括寧夏羊肉、枸杞以及八寶茶。他坦言，自小羊走紅以來，十里八鄉的村民乃至遠方的網友都紛紛慕名而來打卡拍照，讓中方村一時間成為網紅打卡地點。而這隻小羊也因此被戲稱為家鄉特產的「流量擔當」，成為地方推廣與旅遊的新亮點。

除了經濟與宣傳效益外，這隻小羊的故事也引發了網民對動物趣味行為的關注與討論。有人稱讚牠聰明又可愛，也有人調侃牠的「裝死功力」堪比演員，甚至有網友將其與各種搞笑梗圖結合，進一步推升了牠的網絡人氣。

如今，中方村因這隻小羊吸引的遊客與網友絡繹不絕，村內的農產品銷售量也明顯提升。金小林希望，透過這樣的方式，不僅能展示小羊的可愛，也能將寧夏的地方文化與特產推向更廣的市場，實現趣味與經濟效益兼顧的效果。

On January 13, 2026, a ten-day-old lamb from Jin Xiaolin’s farm in Zhongfang Village, Baofeng Town, Pingluo County, Ningxia, unexpectedly went viral online for its unique “playing dead” trick. The lamb was originally intended for sale, but during the transaction, it suddenly fell over and appeared lifeless, causing the buyer to believe it was sick and ultimately abandon the purchase. This incident was captured on video by Jin Xiaolin and uploaded online, quickly attracting a huge amount of attention and discussion. Some viewers even offered nearly 130,000 yuan to buy the lamb, but all offers were politely declined.

Jin Xiaolin explained that his intention was not solely to profit from the lamb, but to leverage its online popularity to promote local specialties, including Ningxia lamb, goji berries, and eight-treasure tea. Since the lamb’s rise to fame, villagers from neighboring areas and online fans alike have flocked to Zhongfang Village to see it, turning the village into a viral destination. The lamb has been humorously dubbed the “traffic ambassador” for local products, becoming a new highlight for regional promotion and tourism.

Beyond the economic and promotional benefits, the lamb’s story has sparked widespread online discussion about the amusing behaviors of animals. Some praise the lamb for its intelligence and cuteness, while others joke that its “playing dead” skills rival those of actors. Many internet users have even created humorous memes and posts featuring the lamb, further boosting its online fame.

Today, Zhongfang Village continues to attract countless visitors and online fans drawn by the lamb, and local agricultural product sales have noticeably increased. Jin Xiaolin hopes that, through this viral sensation, not only can people enjoy the lamb’s charm, but Ningxia’s local culture and specialty products can also reach a wider audience, achieving both entertainment and economic benefits.
