Mahler Gobi

马勒戈壁 (Mǎlè Gēbì): Mahler Gobi

A grass-mud horse encounters an army of river crabs in the Mahler Gobi.

In Mandarin, “Mahler Gobi” sounds like “your mother’s fucking cunt” (妈了个屄 mā le ge bī). Like the Gobi which stretches across China and Mongolia, the windswept Mahler Gobi is a vast desert inhabited by unique wildlife. It is the home of the grass-mud horse, which lives on the “fertile grass” (沃草 wò cǎo, sounds like “fuck me,” 我肏 wǒ cào) dotted among the sand dunes. It is also populated by invasive river crabs.
