The Last Moose of Ao Lu Gu Ya

Gu Tao • 2013

The moose is the largest animal of the Great Xingan Mountains. Mighty, sensitive, and majestic, he has been hunted and his home has been destroyed, and now it is rare that people can catch a glimpse of him in the great forests of Northeastern China. Ewenki hunter Weijia's life has followed the trajectory of the moose, with his lands taken away, his hunting guns confiscated, and his way of life falling into extinction; he spends his days drinking and painting his memories of a better time. How can Weijia reconcile the life he was born into with his new reality?
