TV series set to be aired from August will shed light on the many changes in the lives of people in Inner Mongolia, Yang Yang reports.

"Maybe I'm no better than other directors in many ways, but I was born and raised in a herders' family, and as a herder, I know how to deal with animals in the Mongolian grasslands, and that is very important in this series," says Bayaneruul, director of In the Steppes, a 20-episode TV drama in Mongolian, which goes on air in August.

The drama, which tells the story of the changes in the lives of herders in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region over the last 70 years, will be broadcast to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the autonomous region.
