He was born into a herder's family in Dariganga, Suhbaatar, Mongolia, in 1952. Mend-Ooyo lives in Ulaanbaatr, and directs the Mongolian Academy of Culture and Poetry. Mend-Ooyo is quoted saying: "My life is the mirror of Mongolia. I grew up in the classic nomadic way of life, then moved to the city. But even after all these years I am not a city person. All my dreams are about the countryside, and I feel like I am living in a birdcage. Now I am planning to move back to the countryside. I just hope Mongolia will too."
