Under the golden autumn sun of Changbai Mountain, 70-year-old Cui Chang’an, a fourth-generation batou, or ginseng master, kneels on a forest slope, gently brushing away the soil to reveal a ginseng root at least 30 years old. “We never just dig ginseng,” Cui said. “We lift it, and always leave the small ones, replant the seeds. That’s how the mountain keeps giving.”
在长白山金秋的林海深处，70岁高龄的崔长安跪于山坡之上，小心翼翼地拨开覆盖的泥土，一株历经约30年生长的人参缓缓露出其根须。“我们从不‘挖’参，而是‘抬’参。”他神秘地说道，“幼小的参株需保留，参籽要播种，唯有如此，这片山林方能世世代代滋养我们。”
