Mamen’s description: “various views showing the way Chinese wood cutters go about destroying the forest.”

There are photos of such views in the north of Hailar In the collection. In Chinese a piece of land without specific occupier is called wasted land. Therefore the forest and steppe which are the common mother land for the nomadic hunters and herders and taken care of as their face are seen to be wasted land for them and can be exploited or even destroyed as one wishes.
