Synopsis :

When a blood feud endangers seven young children, one Tibetan mastiff must prove his worth to save their lives.

Old blood feuds on the Tibetan plateau flare up when seven children and their Tibetan mastiff, Gangri Senge, follow a Han journalist to a rival tribe’s territory during the early days of the People’s Republic of China. As the tribe plots to punish the children for their forefathers’ crimes, it is up to Gangri Senge and the journalist who befriends him to rescue the children from a grisly fate.

Based on first-hand accounts from author Yang Zhijun’s father, this tale follows the lives of Tibet’s legendary mastiffs as Gangri Senge and the dog-loving journalist struggle to save the captured children. Together they embark on an extraordinary journey across the vast Tibetan wilderness that will change the plateau and its tribes forever.

Mastiffs of the Plateau is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a moving tale of love and loyalty that explores what it means to be human in a world filled with beasts.

À propos de l'auteur: Yang Zhijun was born in 1955 on China's Tibetan plateau. He has been hailed as China's finest storyteller about the Tibetan highlands, and his writing has been widely acclaimed as the definitive work embodying the spirit of the Tibetan plateau and its people. Mastiffs of the Plateau began as Yang Zhijun's own search for spiritual redemption. Drawing on his deep knowledge of Tibet, this novel became an instant bestseller that sparked China's fascination with Tibetan culture, especially their legendary mastiffs. Based on this novel, the animated film The Tibetan Dog, screened at France's Annecy International Animated Film Festival, marked the first joint production between Chinese and Japanese film companies.
