What happened to golden phoenix who was fed by the old man for four years?

In the eyes of the world, the phoenix is a very noble and beautiful animal. I believe everyone has heard of the word "seeking phoenix". Ancient men would compare the noble and beautiful phoenix to their beloved, so the phoenix is also a symbol of beautiful love. People like Phoenix very much, not only because it looks beautiful, but also because it expresses meaning.

In 1960s and 1970s, there was a mountain keeper in Liuhe Village, Shanxi Province, China. His name is Guo Cunsuo. His family has lived in the forest for generations. When he grew up, he naturally took over the family business and became a ranger to protect the forest. He personally likes this kind of life. In his view, all the scenery of nature is the most beautiful. Breathing the fresh air in the morning, listening to birds singing and smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants is a very happy person for him.

1983 One day, while Guo Cunsuo was guarding the yard as usual, he heard some noise in the grass behind the house. At first, he thought that some small animal tripped over the grass, so he rushed to help the small animal. Then he found that it was a bird looking for food, but this bird was different from other birds he usually saw.

Because the colorful feathers of this bird are very beautiful, and they look very smart and particularly pleasing. Then he wondered if all the old people said that about golden phoenix. After that, he took out some food from his room for the special-looking bird.

Everyone knows that animals are very spiritual, just like people. If you treat them well, they will treat you well. When golden phoenix saw that he had brought food for himself, he naturally liked him and often sang songs near his home. Over time, Guo Cunsuo seems to have a tacit understanding with this bird, and his feelings have become very deep. Two months later, he found a dozen such golden phoenix near his home. He thinks that Phoenix may have a family, too. It brought its family to the party. So he generously gave them a lot of food, and they naturally ate happily and sang a beautiful song.

Later, at 1986, a photographer came to Guo Cun's locked house. The sight of Guo Cunsuo feeding these birds deeply shocked him. He thinks such a picture is beautiful, giving people an artistic conception of harmony between man and nature. So this photographer shared this picture with other photographers, which led to more and more photographers coming here.

Three years later, it was not until 1989 that the mystery of these birds was solved. In fact, these colorful birds are not the golden phoenix we imagined, but a kind of national second-class protected wild animal named "Golden Rooster with Red Belly".

At the same time, that year, Guo Cunsuo's wife opened a farmhouse nearby to provide daily necessities for photographers. Because there are many photographers who collect landscapes, his family also made some money. However, Guo Cunsuo's getting along with these birds is a beautiful scene of protecting nature and living in harmony with nature.
