Liangshan, China, with an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 meters, is surrounded in the cold, barren and isolated mountains. The Yi people have lived here for more than 2,000 years, generation after generation. In recent years, with the help of the Chinese government, Yi people’s material life has begun to modernize, and at the same time, ancient traditional customs are also facing changes. Perhaps history has always come this way. What we think is valuable and worthless, will both be left behind or even forgotten, as we walked along the way.
