The history of the Torghuts in Gansu unfolds through the account of Bor Bandi, and an elder who ventured to Gansu at sixteen and returned to Hobogsair decades later. In the 1940s, Chedkei Baatar and Delgertin Pagba led sixty Torghut households on a daring escape from Hobogsair to Khalha. Pagba faced detention in Hoshtolgai after a confrontation with the Nationalist Party in Hobogsair. Fortunately, on the eve of his execution, he not only evaded prison but also seized most of the Nationalist Party’s cavalry horses. Joining forces with his cousin Chedkhei, who aided his escape, they gathered around sixty households and journeyed towards Khalha for sanctuary. Settling in Bulgan Sum, they were closely monitored in Mongolia as potential spies until Mongolia embraced democracy in 1990. Since the 1990s, Torghuts have been visiting Hobogsair and reuniting with relatives after fifty years of separation. Following this escape, another forty Torghut households embarked on a journey to Khalha via a different route and ended up in Gansu. Allegedly, they were affluent households and their servants, including Arya, returned to Hobogsair later on. While in Gansu en route to Khalha, they encountered about fifty lamas escaping Mongolian socialism to Kumbum. Two groups exchanged gifts, involving sheep, silks, and other religious items, before resuming their migration. Unfortunately, the Khalha revolutionary troops, pursuing the fleeing lamas, captured and eliminated these Torghuts upon finding Buddhist objects received from the lamas. Only Arya and a girl survived; Arya was away from the group herding sheep, while the little girl hid under the sheep she was milking. According to Arya’s recollection, Khalha troops captured those lamas and took them back, leaving Arya alone with countless sheep. Unable to herd thirty families’ sheep, Arya sent most to nearby Deed Mongolians, later earning a hero title in a battle with Kazakh bandits and went back to Hobogsair twenty years later.
