Han Chinese describe life in Tibet – BBC News

From BBC News (link):

I was born in Chongqing in south-western China. Tibet was synonymous with mystery and excitement to me before my first trip in 1992. It lived up to my expectations. I was amazed by the stunning beauty, the colour of the autumn leaves.

Between 1992 and 1997, I went to Tibet three times, where I made more local friends who are quite simple and honest. I was deeply moved and even shocked by the wonder of Tibetan arts. I met my future Tibetan husband, and we got married in the traditional Tibetan way by the holy lake Namcuo.

When I first visited Lhasa in 1992, dogs seemed to outnumber people on the street, and locals just answered both of nature’s calls in the open.
