She tells the adventures of Afanti (Effendi), a person in the Muslim region of Xinjiang , who always roams around on his donkey , is very clever and likes to play with words to achieve his goals. He castigates the inadequacies of the people and has the courage to oppose the exploitation by the powerful and the rich - especially Mr. Bayi (= Beg).
