Every foreigner who visits this Uyghur Autonomous Region during the colorless winter ask themselves, â??How can they make a living here?â??
The people have lived their humble lives here for over a thousand years, ecologically eating their own vegetables and cattle breeding, not harming the land. This series depicts a life of a certain Uyghur family - a father, mother, daughter and grandson - who never smiled - creating a great impact within me.
