The background of the story took place in the late 1960s, the last piece of primitive grassland near the border of Chinese mainland and Inner Mongolia. Mongolian herders here still retain the ecological characteristics of nomadic people. They graze cattle and sheep freely and romantically on the grassland, and maintain the ecological balance of the grassland together with groups of powerful prairie wolves.

They hate wolves ―― wolves are enemies who invade their homes; At the same time, they are also in awe of wolves-prairie wolves help Mongolian herders kill herbivores that cannot be carried too much on the grassland: antelopes, rabbits and prairie rats of all sizes. Wolf is the primitive totem of Mongols.

The wolf's ferocity, cruelty, wisdom and team spirit, as well as its military talent and organizational division of labor, were once the natural instructors and evolutionary engines of the Mongolian army in Eurasia in the13rd century.
