An entity of identity

A group of ethnic Manchu people in Hohhot is doing all they can to preserve the culture. They share their efforts, hopes and dreams with Wang Kaihao.

Since recently retiring from a construction company in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, Song Aihe finally has some free time to care for the flowers and vegetables in his modest yard.

When he trims the withering vines this winter, a pole that resembles a streetlamp, gradually becomes apparent in one corner.
