A story about a female bear and a one-armed hunter.

The reporter interviewed a one-armed hunter in cold Russia. In his house, he saw a bear with a complete head hanging on the wall. The reporter asked curiously, so the hunter told the story that happened that year, a story about a bear and why he had an arm.

One winter, the hunter took his son to hunt in the mountains. Because the child was young and lacked the experience of living in the mountains, he accidentally drank some animal urine, so the child began to have diarrhea and fever. People with diarrhea have no strength, and it is impossible for children to go down the mountain in such a healthy state. The hunter had to decide to live on the mountain with the child until the child was better.

After living in the mountains for several days, they have no food, and there is nothing to eat in the mountains in the cold winter. The hunter decided to bring a bear back to feed the sick children, otherwise they would all starve to death in this mountain.

There are many bears on this mountain. The hunter went out with a gun and a knife and saw a bear without walking a few steps. The hunter walked slowly to kill the bear, but the bear also cried warily, and a mother bear came up from behind the bear. The hunter knows that in this case, he is not sure to kill the mother bear with one shot, nor can he shoot rashly, otherwise the mother bear will be angry and his life and that of the child will be in danger. They have no food for several days, and bears have no food this winter. But this shotgun in the hunter's hand has also become a threat to the mother bear. In this way, the hunter and the child, the mother bear and the baby bear are deadlocked.

Hunters know this is not the way to go on. The child is extremely weak and needs to eat. Baby bears are hungry, too, and the mother bear will risk killing them at any time. So the hunter made a bold decision. He threw Qiang down the mountain. The mother bear saw that the hunter didn't kill the baby bear again. She was very moved, thanked the hunter again and again, and told the hunter that she would not hurt the child.

The hunter was also moved. Reluctantly, he cut off his left arm with this knife in his hand and threw it at Baby Bear. The mother bear shed tears. She kowtowed to the hunter and ran to the cliff. She thanked the hunters in the form of suicide and thanked them for saving her children. Seeing that her children could spend the winter safely, she chose to die for hunters and children to satisfy her hunger.

The hunter saw the dead mother bear in the valley, cut off a piece of meat and roasted it for the children, and caught some fish at the foot of the mountain to feed the baby bear.

In memory of this female bear, the hunter later made her head into a specimen and hung it on the wall. Every time he eats, he will prepare a bowl of rice and put it next to the bear's head. When he drinks, he will also pour it a glass of wine. He will always remember this great female bear.
