ZOMIA is an ideal sanctuary for hill barbarians to escape from the domination of lowland civilization, or rather, a fragmented region. In traditional historical narratives, people always assume that backward, simple, and even barbaric ethnic groups will be assimilated by advanced, prosperous, and sophisticated ethnic societies and cultures. However, the ZOMIA region provides a completely opposite example. The ZOMIA civilization more embodies a human survival state of mutual dependence and mutual benefit, rather than control and being controlled, ruling and being ruled.

Anarikis was born in the Javanese tribe in Southeast Asia, and was stamped with the cruel ethnic customs that the Javanese tribe had continued for hundreds of years since birth. In an accidental event, she began the road of self-awareness. Adult Anarikis ran away during her circumcision ceremony and passed through the ZOMIA region during her escape. The free air of ZOMIA attracted her, and finally, Anarikis, who was determined to be "born this way," decided to spend the rest of her life here.

ZOMIA是山地野蛮人逃离低地文明统治的一个理想避难所，或者说是一个碎片化的区域。传统的历史叙事中，人们总认为落后的、质朴的甚至是野蛮的民族总会被先进的、高级的繁荣的族群社会和文化收编。佐米亚地区却为人们提供了一个截然相反的例证。佐米亚文明更多的体现出一种互相依赖、相得益彰的人类生存状态，而不全然是控制与被控制，统治与被统治。

Anarikis诞生于东南亚的爪哇部落，从出生就烙印着爪哇部落延续了上百年的残忍的民族习俗，在一次偶然的事件中她开始了自我觉醒的道路。成年的Anarikis在她的割礼仪式上逃跑了，逃亡的途中她经过了ZOMIA地区。ZOMIA自由的空气的吸引着她，终于摆脱了“生来如此”的Anarikis决定在这里度过余下的人生。
