The musical "Aoluguya", which opened its curtain on August 26th at the Poly Theatre in Beijing, is based on the true story of Maria Suo, a woman who is part of the dying Ewenki people.

The only hunting tribe in China which keeps its reindeer, the Ewenki today have been reduced to a mere 200 members and 1,200 reindeer. However, China's last female chief, Maria Suo, is still living on this piece of her beloved land, where she has spent all of her life.
