[Explanation] On the Hulunbuir Prairie in early June, the unique nomadic scene of "transition" is being staged. Herdsmen drive cattle and sheep from the winter camp to the summer pasture.
Recently, the reporter used the camera to record the transition process of the herdsmen Husle's family in the New Barhuzuo Banner, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
[Explanation] At 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky of the prairie is already white with fish belly, and the yurt of Huslejia's yurt rises from cooking smoke.
Grandma served hot milk tea to Husle and his friends, so that they could have the strength to deal with the next journey when they were full.
Huslejia has 17,000 mu of pastures, raising 200 cattle and more than 1,000 sheep.
After everything was ready, Husler and his partners led the herd to the summer pasture more than 100 kilometers away.

Last year there was a lot of rain, and my pasture was full of water and lakes. Last year, the grass in my house grew very little and was completely flooded.
If we moved to the summer camp, our grass would grow well, and we would grow more grass in the fall.
[Explanation] In order to help the herdsmen transition smoothly, a dedicated pastoral path was opened up under the coordination of the local Sumu.
Among the herds that marched on this day were more than 80 calves born this spring.
At the beginning, the little guys who were "leaving home" for the first time could still run excitedly.
After 30 kilometers, the calves began to fall behind, and the speed of the herd also slowed down significantly. In order to ensure the progress, Husle called the logistics support vehicle and put the weak calves on the vehicle to continue moving forward.

(calf) You can walk a little bit.
10 kilometers and 20 kilometers can be walked. If you can't walk, you have to put it on a car. You can only use a car to pull it, or you can't put it in the middle of the road.
[Explanation] At noon, the transition team traveled 50 kilometers. The hungry cows stopped to graze. Husle and his friends also had a simple lunch, but they didn't know that there was trouble waiting for them ahead.
In the early summer, the grassland weather changed. The rain mixed with hail poured down from the sky, the temperature dropped sharply, and the speed of the herd also dropped.
The hail just stopped, and the soft sandy soil trapped the vehicle again. Fortunately, with the help of the transfer vehicle arranged by Su Mu, the vehicle was successfully rescued.
The next journey was much smoother. After 16 hours, Husle and his partners successfully led the herd to the transfer destination - Guriban Saihanxia Camp.

(On the way) all kinds of ups and downs have come, anyway, at the end of (summer camp), I am very happy.
Especially when there are many people (on the way), the power is great, isn't it?
[Explanation] The reporter learned that since the beginning of June, more than 60 herdsmen in Handa Gasumu have successively set off from the winter camp with 20,000 livestock. At present, all of them have safely arrived at the 120,000-mu summer collective pasture to graze cattle and sheep.
The local Sumu also invited professors from the Hulunbuir Party School to teach the herdsmen on the grasslands, guiding the herdsmen to realize the organic combination of modern animal husbandry and traditional grassland nomadic culture, so that the herdsmen can use the summer grassland tourism period to increase non-herdsmen in addition to their work. industry income and enrich the types of industries.

As a herdsman, we all put our hearts and efforts into one place, and through this (effort) bit by bit, we will revitalize our pastoral area little by little, and finally achieve a comprehensive revitalization of the pastoral area.

If all ethnic groups are united and the country is safe, individuals will be very stable and life will be very happy.
[Explanation] The nomadic life of "living by water and grass" is a memory rooted in the blood of grassland herdsmen for thousands of years. Their migration is a reverence and compromise for nature.
Today's "transition" is that people take the initiative to maintain the ecological balance of the grasslands. The rotating grazing system in winter and summer every year ensures the recuperation of the grasslands and makes people live in harmony with nature.

This summer until the end of September, (the herdsmen) are producing and living here. The purpose (of the transition) is to better protect and make good use of this grassland and this grassland, and protect the ecology of this place.
