He arrived in Saruultuya Gastaa at age 19 and went on to become its Party chief
There was barely a road in the village when 19-year-old Ting Baatar arrived in Saruultuya Gastaa, Inner Mongolia autonomous region's Xilin Gol League, in the summer of 1974.
He was sent to the impoverished village for re-education during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76), along with 60 other "educated youths".
