Na fronteira entre as províncias de Sichuan e Yunnan, no Sudoeste da China, abre-se o lago Lugu. Nas suas margens, a mais de 2.600 metros de altitude, habitam membros das etnias Yi, Naxi e Mosuo – uma sociedade matriarcal.
Acolhido no seio da família Wang (da etnia Mosuo), acompanhei durante dias a vida na pequena aldeia de Dazue – na época, sem eletricidade, sem água canalizada, sem qualquer estrada de acesso. A pesca no lago, as brincadeiras das crianças e o budismo de influência tibetana formam o retrato de dias tranquilos.
Lugu Lake lies on the border between the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in Southwest China. On its banks, more than 2600 meters above sea level, dwell the members of ethnicities Yi, Naxi and Mosuo - a matriarchal society.
Welcomed in the midst of the Wang family (Mosuo ethnicity), I follow for days the life in the small village of Dazue - then devoid of electricity, running water, or any access road. The fishing in the lake, the children playing, and the Buddhism of Tibetan influence, form a portrait of tranquil days.
