The "Wolf Totem" is starred by Chinese actors Shaofeng Feng, Shawn Dou, Ying Zhusheng, Baasanjav, Buyankhishig, and the Mongolia R.Ankhnyam. The screenplay was adapted from the "Wolf Totem" novel that narrates about Mongolian culture towards wolves. Written by a Chinese Jiang Rong and first published in 2004, it has become a bestseller in China and other countries. The novel has been translated to 30 languages as well. At a press conference about the movie premiere, Ms Ankhnyam said the filming was a rough experience as usual.
