Abstract:

Hla Huy, "in the mountains" in Atayanl, is a glimpse of the life of Xiaolong,; aboriginal and an orphan with a criminal record. After getting involved with gangs and stints in prison, Xiaolong returns to the mountains he left after his parents died. Xiaolong's Han girlfriend, Xiao-yu, argues with him, telling him to get a steady job. Due to his tattoo, getting a job is difficult; he wishes to be able to hunt, as is traditional, but "reality" doesn't allow him to stay in the mountains.--Visible Record
