At the age of nineteen, she followed her family to the Altai mountain pasture for the first time and opened a semi-mobile tailor shop and grocery store in the wilderness. Herders have lived by following water and grass since ancient times. In order to make a living, she and her family have been constantly migrating - from pastures to deserts, Gobi, and even dilapidated ruins. Stepping into a new land, it is empty, but naturally rich. People have hands and feet, clear senses, and freedom. Everything can be created from nothing, little by little. Such a land cannot tolerate hypocrisy and affectation, everything is so direct and real - the world is untamed, and the senses are pure and natural. Even if life is always abandoned on one side and continues on the other, as long as the sensitivity is still there, you can always discover new and memorable beauty.
