The Oroqen are our country.
The smallest ethnic minority in the Northeast.
The Oroqen have no written language.
The people love to sing.
The history and story of this mysterious people.
are all hidden in the mouths of the old people of the Oroqen tribe.
But with the death of the old man.
Lots of rituals, histories and stories too.
Thus it is lost in the long river of history.
In 2015.
Beijing-based photographer Li Jingyang.
I came to the Oroqen Autonomous Banner by chance.
I've been fascinated ever since.
It's even harder for him to leave.
It is the protection and inheritance of Oroqen culture.
Nine years. More than 10 months per year.
Li Jingyang was in the mountains holding a camera and a mobile phone.
Silently recorded here.
The life of the Oroqen people.
Really let Li Jingyang.
It is well known to the outside world.
It is the "little flower deer grandmother" under his lens
In 2022, an 80-year-old man named Nei Shumei.
Recording and chanting the sounds of the disappearing forest.
Documentary. I put on all the ornaments ceremoniously.
Includes 13 bracelets, 3 necklaces, 6 bells.
Grandma called herself with a laugh.

Emphasis on one's own culture.
Facing the camera, you will dress up to attend.

Others said. Put the chant of "Little Flower Deer Grandma".
Put it to your own cat.

That's the sound of nature."
There are also quite a few people who say.
Hopefully he will continue to hold on to the record.
It is very meaningful for intangible cultural heritage.
I'm so happy that many times I want to sing.
But I don't have a place to sing.
I don't know who to sing it to".
But now, "Grandma Xiaohualu" often looks for Li Jingyang.
Let her take a picture of herself singing ** and post it on the Internet.
Before each shoot.
She also has to dress up carefully.
I also want to apply nail polish to myself for manicure.
This also gave Li Jingyang motivation.
So he started to make more documentaries.
The footage is posted on Douyin.
Many people only know for the first time through his **.
It turns out that there is still such a nation in China.
Li Jingyang felt that he wanted to preserve the culture well.
It's not just about taking it seriously.
Then let it lie on a hard drive or in a museum.
Only by making it more visible.
Only then will he feel that this culture is really "alive".
In this era, there is a new vitality.
Li Jingyang likes it very much.
Spore skin clothing handmade by the Oroqen people.
But the people who were able to make these.

But over time.
People in the future may only be able to.

It seems to have been.
A part of history.
He is featured in many stories.
He has slowly become a part of the nation.
Li Jingyang said under the latest **.
It's a hard road.
I don't know why I can hold on.
It's really unbearable.

Inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
More like him are needed.
