Coming home to Mongolia | DW English

When Saruul Fischer came to East Germany from Mongolia at the age of eleven, she could not have known how important her homeland would be to her in the future.
She stayed there after the fall of the Berlin Wall, went to university, married and had children. Struck by a yearning for her homeland, she began developing an idea for the fashion label "Edelziege”.

Tsolmon Naimdii you should be proud. Mongolian people are so special. I dream of visiting Mongolia some day. with respect I want to say you are very beautiful.

[@einhacker-typ6457]

Didn't like the underdeveloped nature of Mongolia as a spoiled teenager. But after studying abroad for years, I feel extremely homesick. The seemingly unlimited mountains, the sheeps and goats calmly strolling along grasses, young children riding horses while bragging about their recent victories, and the beautiful women in the capital, everything makes me feel sad, but proud.

I am Native-American but I know nothing about the Mongolian culture. But I read something about the Native-Americans being originally Mongolian before leaving there as the Clovis people stopping in Siberia, mixing with the eurasians before crossing the Bering strait into North America (Alaska) then throughout North, central and South America.

Some Nepalese are type Mongolian but not all from Mongol Empire. The military of black banner of Mongol Empire stayed in Nepal. I have seen the martial arts and Buddhism power being used in the Nepalese elite force are similar to Mongol. They also spread all over South East Asia, China, Korea and Japan.

I can imagine what this Mongolian woman from Germany, who came to her ethnic Homeland, is experiencing. The shock of the standard of living of the people, mired in medieval life and the beginning of the timid development of the country as a whole. At night it will seem that everything happens in a dream, but with the dawn comes the understanding that it is necessary to live and work.

[@janazilkova3599]

Mongolia has a beautiful nature and fascinating culture. Mongolian countryside is like a paradise for people who spend 365 days in the city and want to see untouched environment and have a good rest. However, it is worth mentioning that UB has developed tremendously and became an international city with all pros and cons.

FANTASTIC STORY!!! The beauty of this documentary is Saruul's very personal perspective. I, too, was born in two different cultures, and that gave me a perspective on Life and advantage that most people do not have. Because I could then clearly see at an early age, the advantages and shortcomings of all cultures. So we must TRANSCEND CULTURE and embrace the deepest Spirit of HUMANITY.

Sadly you don't see any Mongolian characters being used in Mongolia anymore, only Russian characters. In Inner Mongolia, China, however, you can still see Mongolian characters on the billboards and road signs.

Yes but Mongolians do not speak Mongolian. They speak Mandarin.

[@whateverwhatever4365]

[@harrymcnicholas9468]

The Mongolians have used a variety of scripts over the centuries. That is not imp0ortant. What is important is that they still speak Mongolian and not Chinese.

She seems to have accepted it as her 2nd mother tongue (or maybe the film makers didn't have a Mongolian translator handy).
