STORYLINE:
SOUNDBITE (Uygur language): GULISUNHAN YELEBAY, Kazakh black soap maker
"My name is Gulisunhan Yelebay.
I live in Oymak Township, Burqin County (in China's Xinjiang).
It has been more than 20 years since I've inherited the skill of making Kazakh traditional black soaps.
Sweetie, you and Telieke go get some Saxaul trees.
Let's get the black soaps done as quickly as we can.
It's getting late.
Ok, I'll go now.
Bring all the small Saxaul trees left over there.
All of them.
These are Saxaul trees.
What we are doing now and before is part of the black soap-making skill passed down from our ancestors.
The materials needed include Saxaul trees, quinoa and Cathay poplars.
The wood ashes are used to make soaps.
Put the ashes into hot water, stir it and boil it.
Stir it, Sahar.
