In this combo photo, the upper part provided by the authority of Oroqen Autonomous Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, shows hunting people planting agaric in Tuozhamin Township of the banner in 1999; and the lower part taken by Liu Lei on Aug. 5, 2021 shows villager Li Jinying checking the growth of agaric at her greenhouse in Ali River Township of the banner. Oroqen, dubbed "China's last hunting ethnic minority," is one of the smallest ethnic groups in China. They used to live a nomadic life, hunting in the forests. After the establishment of the Oroqen Autonomous Banner in 1951, the lives of the Oroqen people changed for the better. By 1958, many of the region's nomads had settled down and changed the way they lived and worked. The Oroqen people made a tremendous leap from primitive tribes to modern civilization. The past seven decades have witnessed astonishing changes in their life. (Xinhua)
