Togoji came to Inner Mongolia from Mongolia in 1932 at the age of 5 with her two sisters and in 1949 she moved to Bayan Nurgan. In this video, she and her son mostly talk about herding life in Bayan Nurgan. They herd about 70 camels and 300 goats, the upper limit allowed by the government. Now they have about 20,000 mu land, but due to drought they have to buy extra hay and other animal feed from Han Chinese. As she said, Mongols in Bayan Nurgan are mostly herders but they have bought apartments in the town centre. Some Mongols have moved to the banner centre to take care of their grandchildren or for health reasons.Their house on the farm is in the process of refurbishment as part of the so-called “Ten Complete Covers” programme initiated by the Inner Mongolian government. They have to pay about 30,000 yuan for it and the rest will be covered by the government.
