The Greater Khingan Mountains

Picking mushrooms deep in the forest, keeping company with wild boar piglets, and heading up the mountain to escape the floods... This novel tells the story of life in the forest region, full of danger, wonder, and fun. It depicts the region's turbulent changes over more than twenty years, as well as the confusion and struggles, hard work and growth of a generation of young forest workers. The novel shows us that in the forests of the Greater Khingan Range, in the far north of our country, there is more than just endless woodland, black bears and Amur tigers, autumn blueberries and mushrooms, and winter's bitter cold and blizzards. There are also many moving stories about the people who live in the forest region...
