The Howl of the WolfA man does battle with a wolf, two sworn brothers lock horns literally as they drink and brag the night away and an old man turns to his flame bellied stove for comfort when facing a bitter winter alone. These are just some of the fascinating folk who inhabit the magical stories of Hong Ke. Set in Xinjiang, the gateway between China and Middle Asia, The Howl of the Wolf paints a colourful picture of frontier life in all its earthy glory.
