| I am one of those Tibetans living in exile. Like many Tibetan youth in exile, I received good education from one of the Tibetan schools established by His Holiness The Dalai Lama. I received scholarship from exile government to study in India. However, I came to US to study and received numerous scholarships from the University. I thoroughly read the book "Wild Swan" 3 Daughters of China by Jung Chang. I loved the book and also came to understand Chinese culture better. As much as I hate Mao Tsetung for his crimes against humanity, I also noted that he helped Chinese Women's Rights in certain way. I openly shared my ideas to other Tibetans about 1% of Mao's good deed for Chinese Women. No Tibetans labelled me a "traitor" and definitely, not any dead threats. Recently, while protesting against Chinese government, on our posters, I even wrote "Free Hu Jia" and "Free Falun Dafa". Some Tibetans asked me who they were, and I explained to them that Hu Jia is a Chinese political prisoner and that Falun Dafa are victims of Chinese government as well. They showed nothing but sympathy and further encouraged me to write "Human Rights For All" on the poster. So, I feel bad for Grace wang that she has to go through such ordeal. I think she is entitled to express her opinion. Besides, she was just trying to facilitate the two groups to get across each other to talk and discuss. On a bigger picture, wouldn't it be nice if Chinese government atleast once try listening to His Holiness The Dalai Lama without all those preconditions and sit across each other to talk? |
