Wolf Totem（狼圖騰）








In my last three posting,I wrote the introduction about wolf.In these six weeks,I want to show you some work about wolf that I love very much,including novels and movies.Today the book which I am going to introduce is Wolf Totem（狼圖騰）.


 

A young Han Chinese person(漢人) and a Steppe Wolf(蒙古草原狼) meet in the steppe.He is the one who murder its brothers and sisters,who keep it before it open its eyes,and who let it lose the most precious thing the wolf can have-freedom.The story is told by the leading man.Following his words,we come to the primitive steppe that only the ancient Mongol and animals live in.Human,every kinds of animals and God all try their best to keep the fragile balance in the steppe,but when outsiders come to this holy land,is it able to be still? Once the steppe is destroyed,there is no going back.
 
 

 

What touch me most is the part that how wolf cub and writer interact and the story takes place on this land.The anthor also publish the book《小狼小狼》(sorry there is no English translation) specially embodying this part from Wolf Totem.

 

Now it is adapted to the movie,I am sure that I will go to theater for it.
