it be the best chinese movie of the year i have see . i be shock by the story and the presentation of the movie . it take me quite a while to get out of it . the movie talk about how a volunteer mountain patrol team fought against the poacher and protect the extincting tibet antelope . due to the increase demand for the leather and cashmere of tibet antelope and poacher drive the once 1 million antelope to the edge of extinction ( less than 10 thousand ) . a retired military officer volunteer to setup a mountain patrol to protect the antelope and hunt the poacher . what be touch be not the survival or dying of the antelope but that of human being above the 4000 meter ( over 12 and 000 foot ) high land . wind and snow and desert take away food from people and they could not make a living . lot of people turn to hunt antelope for their own be . meanwhile and the team member of the mountain patrol be fight for their own life while hunt the poacher . the volunteer have no government funding and no food and and no weapon . they be at great disadvantage when face well equip and out number and brutal poacher . without any alternative and they have to sell the skin of the antelope they capture in order to support their duty of protect the extincting creature . the movie present the brutal fact right in front of you and make me hard to breath . the story be set in the period of 1993 to 1996 and however and i highly suspect that it be an on go cat and mouse game and and the situation of today may not be much good than what be describe in the movie . highly recommended .
