The Situation in Tibet and One Han
Comment on Han-Tibetan Relations
1st April 2008
First Time I Feel Ashamed to be Han, and Lucky to Not Be a Party Member
The following blog post was signed as written by ‘a student from the
Central University of Nationalities.’ Translated by CDT:
I’ve wanted to write something for a while in the wake of the latest
developments in Tibetan regions. But after seeing press reports by
media outlets from home and abroad, I don’t know whom to believe in.
I lost my judgment. I tried to start writing, but then couldn’t continue
because my feelings are too complex. This afternoon, I talked to a
colleague again about this issue and the conversation escalated into a
fight.
The colleague finally used a very ‘Chinese Communist’ style to
stop me from ‘venting angry words.’ Faced with irrationality, I zipped
my mouth. I’ve worked with a variety of people, but I didn’t imagine
that there are people who have been brainwashed so much, and I started
to realize this issue isn’t a small matter!
The key is, a lot of Han and some ethnic Tibetans with vested
interests have become blind to the blue sky, white clouds, green
mountains and water. Amidst the long history and mystical culture of
Tibet, their brains are only thinking about how to commercialize these
things. They don’t know that many aspects of the Tibetan way of life,
religion and custom, culture and values are gradually being dismantled.
Neither do they know that the dignity of Tibetans is shedding tears, and
many Tibetans are struggling.
