The people are the aboriginal people of northern Europe. They live in the Arctic Circle in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. About 8% of the people make a living by raising reindeer and operating reindeer farms. Sami artist's hand-made daily necessities and ornaments can be found in almost every Finnish home.

Many years ago I took the train north to the Lapland capital on a whim and wandered the commercial street in the center of Rovaniemi alone and found two tents side by side, one of which was filled with souvenirs made from reindeer, a stall. The host is a middle-aged lady. She first greeted me warmly in English. I could tell from her accent that she was Sami. When I changed to Finnish, she looked relieved and opened the chat box instantly.

During the conversation, I learned that she and her husband have been running this husband-and-wife business for many years. The husband is a craftsman, and all the goods are made by himself, while the lively wife is responsible for the sales.

I said that there are more and more Chinese tourists coming to the North Pole, and you can always hear Chinese on the street. She said excitedly, "Yes, yes! As Christmas approaches, Chinese tourists come, and business has become very good. China Tourists are very polite, and very interested in the North Pole, Santa Claus, and reindeer, unlike Helsinki people who know nothing about reindeer! Incredible!? I don't understand people in big cities!"

I thought to myself, "What do Helsinki people want to know about reindeer?" Although I thought so, I was still moved by her rich expression and firm tone. For her, it was a matter of course for her to take the time to understand the characteristics of her own country.
