The original description read: “Several miles upstream along the Takiri River (Liwu River today), lives the Truku Group that had never had any contact with the outside world. The local savage woman in the photo appears very strong, with a strange look and strange eyes, and facial tattoos. One is shocked when one first lays eye on her. Now with the road built, the group enjoys rich materials and is prosperous.”
