Wild Animal

There is no room for compassion in the harshness of nature; survival demands setting emotions aside. Yet even in these conditions, love and sacrifice persist. As animator Tianyun Lyu herself puts it, poetically: “In the Mongolian wilds, a hunter’s heir, / With his father, a bond so rare. / Kindness within, ‘midst nature’s might, / A tale of love, in the wild’s wild fight.” – Xige Yi
