一个在美国中餐馆洗碗的普通汉人,为何要在挺藏集会上当众削发?盛虎谈张雅笛案如何改变了他对西藏的认识,以及他为何认为汉人需要反思“征服者心态”,并向藏人说一声:“对不起。”——华语青年挺藏会专访。 #华语青年挺藏会 www.lhasaspring.org/p/shenghu?ut...

一个华人洗碗工的削发:我为什么站在藏人这一边
不管是中间道路还是独立,都比不上流亡藏人重返故土。我有一个很天真的想象:如果川普总统能促成达赖喇嘛尊者带一些人回中国,哪怕只有七天、十天,回到真正的西藏,每人捧一把土,或者装一瓶水,我想这是每个流亡藏人心底最真实的渴望。

The Panchen Lama is Tibetan Buddhism’s second-highest spiritual leader, after the Dalai Lama. In 1995, the 14th Dalai Lama recognized 6-year-old Gedhun Choekyi Nyima as the 11th Panchen Lama. Three days later, Chinese authorities abducted him and his family. They have never been heard from since.
