Tibetans make up almost 93% of the
population in Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Roughly 53% of the
5.2 million Tibetans in the country live in Tibet, but the rest
live mostly concentrated in Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai
provinces. Six years of frequent visits and involvement with the
Tibetan communities of two of these provinces brought me certain
knowledge of those wonderful people. Through the stories of my two
Tibetan daughters, both from ordinary families, let's discover the
lives and culture, the harsh natural environment, the society,
school and work, the dreams and challenges of the Tibetans living
in Yunnan and in Qinghai.
