The Mongols all understand their way of life.

They don't need to explain anything.

They know which way the gear faces with the sun.

They know all these things.

But for me, that's how I learned it.

It was from being with the people.

It was the most important thing.

And this was starting in the 1990s.

And the people, at this time, they were amazed at us.

I would come.

The Soviet era had just ended.

Socialism was just ending.

Democracy was starting.

And Genghis Khan had been forbidden to them for almost the entire century.

And every known descendant of Genghis Khan was killed in Mongolia.

Following the secret history, that became the key to writing what I wrote.

Take the history, which is difficult to understand.

You have to go over, and I often never understand different parts, or I change my mind and think it was yes, now it's no.

But the secret history is a valuable document.

And to me, also, it's the opening document of Mongolian written language.
