The Mongolian ethnic group and its Gesar epic tradition

The ethnic Mongolian and Tibetan people created the heroic figure of Gesar, who vanquishes monsters to bring people happiness. Gesar is not only a legend, but also a living epic.

Jinbazhamusu, who is 86, is China's national bearer of the Gesar epic. He's been engaged in this cultural inheritance for 37 years, and hopes it will be preserved for future generations.
