The Two Mongolias

The native Mongolian peoples have historically lived in the Mongolian People’s Republic and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the People’s Republic of China, which together once comprised Greater Mongolia. While Inner Mongolia is an autonomous subnational division of China, the nation of Mongolia (sometimes known as Outer Mongolia) is a free and open state with a democratic government.

Political and historical reasons led to the split of Mongolia into these two regions. One important contributing aspect is that, in the 19th century, Han Chinese farmers were drawn to the Mongolian region in search of land to cultivate due to population pressure in China’s south. Conflicts with herders resulted from this, and Outer Mongolia gained independence in 1912 and Inner Mongolia gained administrative autonomy in 1932.

Is a reunion between the two Mongolias possible?

The Litvin family - Jewish farmers from Hailar, Manchuria, Chinese Inner Mongolia region

The Litvin family was originally from Irkutsk, Siberia. Life for Jews became increasingly harder there during WWI, so the family moved to Inner Mongolia where the existence of the Chinese Eastern Railway made the pastoral area promising. The family patriarch, Simeon Litvin, was a very skilled farmer. He could accurately determine the age of a horse by its teeth and learned to speak the Mongolian and Tungus languages when communicating with Buryat and Tungus people. So when the family settled in the small town of Hailar on the CER, Simeon quickly made himself at home and gained friends among his suppliers, while still observing Jewish holidays, not working on Saturdays and regularly visiting the Hailar synagogue.

The situation changed dramatically when the Japanese occupied Manchuria in the early 1930s and established the puppet state of Manchukuo, after the Soviet Union sold its part of the railroad to the them. Japanese troops and police became increasingly aggressive, attacking, insulting, and even raping private citizens. They ruthlessly beheaded captives without trials and put their heads on public display. Chaim Litvin, the son of Simeon, had to endure brutal torture and years of imprisonment in a labor camp. After the prison was liberated, Chaim hurried home to Harbin, covering 700 kilometers in only three days. There, he began to breed cattle, got married and built a large farm together with his wife. Chaim worked until in 1959, in the People’s Republic of China, everything was confiscated. With the threat of being arrested by the Communist regime, he went with his family to Israel in 1962.

WATCH: China's Shenzhou-18 space crew successfully return to earth

4 November 2024

The three-person crew of China's Shenzhou-18 spacecraft successfully returned to earth on Monday (November 4), following several months in low orbit.

The capsule containing the three astronauts steadily descended to earth, assisted by parachute and landed intact at the Dongfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia.

Ground crews assisted Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu through the capsule's latch and onto stretchers ahead of a post-landing medical check.

During their mission to the Tiangong Space Station, Guangfu and Guangsu conducted China's longest spacewalk during the installation of anti-space-debris equipment, totalling more than 8 hours.

The crew's April launch marked more than two decades of Chinese human spaceflight.

Megaconus

Megaconus — вимерлий рід алотерієвих ссавців з середньоюрської формації Тяоцзишань у Внутрішній Монголії, Китай. Типовий і єдиний вид, Megaconus mammaliaformis, був вперше описаний в журналі Nature в 2013 році. Вважається, що Megaconus був наземною травоїдною твариною. Ймовірно він мав поставу, схожу на сучасних броненосців і гірських даманів (Procavia capensis).
