Here’s a translation from two posts on Lian Yue’s blog. They’re emails sent to him by readers. The first is in two parts - this is the young Tibetan woman that drunkpiano referred to in his post “The Enemy of My Enemy” (English translation here). The second is from a government official.
In the first, Lian Yue apologizes to readers for deleting some sections and omitting several names.
Dear Lian Yue,
I really hope you will allow me to say a little on your blog about my own situation.
I’m a Tibetan who cannot speak the Tibetan language. I can understand a little of the Lhasa dialect and I can understand the Gannan dialect, but I cannot speak it.
Right now, I don’t know any more than everyone else about the real situation… (section deleted)
I’ll say a little about my personal experiences.
When I went to primary school in Lhasa, there were schools that offered classes in Tibetan but the quality of teaching was very poor and not many pupils went on to higher grades. Parents would usually choose schools with a higher graduation rate so when I left kindergarten I didn’t take Tibetan classes and I completely forgot how to read or write Tibetan.
Before I finished primary school, I moved out of Tibet for health reasons and had even less contact with the language.
After I graduated, I applied for an office job. One boss asked my to change my Tibetan name to something that Han people could recognize more easily, like Zhuoma or Zhuoga, to give people a strong impression and be more competitive in business.
Later I went to XX for an interview. One manager was extremely interested in knowing whether or not Tibetans only wash twice in their lives. He was very curious to know: “Don’t they mind being dirty?” That took up a third of the interview.
Later on, my parent’s friend introduced me to a boyfriend who was Han. His mother was only worried about one thing: “She’s Tibetan. Supposing there’s a court case - my son would definitely lose.”
A few years ago, my father passed away. My relatives came a huge distance all the way from Gannan and got out butter lamps ready to light. The local committee [组织上] said: “This is the XXX memorial hall. We can’t have that kind of feudal superstition here.” In the end I just had to throw away all the offerings and candles the committee had prepared to resolve the problem.
Also at that time, my sister had to keep it a secret that she went to the Jokhang Temple. If her work unit found out, they would have docked her salary.
A few years ago, I took my father’s ashes to Labrang Monastery where he lived when he was a child. The patriarch of the family braved wind and snow to recover solid remains from the ashes and we stood round him crying. But that didn’t stop a novelty-seeking Han from snapping and flashing away with his camera. In the end I cursed him in Han to chase him off.
People in the county town where I come from don’t wear Tibetan clothes to work anymore because it makes them feel inferior and ashamed in front of their Han colleagues.
In the past, my relatives back home could cut wood and sell it to earn money to buy things they needed. Then, because so many Han went there to cut down trees, the state banned tree cutting. With nothing to live on, they had to go to the city to find work. But with no education, their status was lower than Han migrant workers and they didn’t get the same pay for the same work.
My neighbors often praise us sincerely: “Are you really Tibetan? Hey, you don’t look it. You’re so white and so clean….”
In this city that’s called a center of culture, even my mother, my own family, everyone is trying as hard as they can to avoid revealing their Tibetan identity because we can’t fight off the nasty things people say.
Later, I made up my mind to study Tibetan, but I didn’t realize how hard that would turn out to be. I searched all over Lhasa and Beijing and I sill haven’t found any recorded teaching materials.
Now my Han friends say: “What a pity. You’ve lost your culture.”
The things a lot of people do and say hurt us, even though they don’t mean to. It seems that time and again we’ve tried to ignore this kind of hurt. But, now (sentence deleted). I hope from now on people won’t indulge in this kind of thing.
——————————–
I never thought that in the space of one night everyone would discuss my letter so enthusiastically. In most of the comments, people seriously examined their own thoughts and actions and that really moved me, so I’d like to add the following.
First, thank you to everyone for their care and sympathy. Obviously, I’m quite embarrassed to be looked at so closely. Actually, in all the examples I listed, none of these experiences made me feel inferior. I really am the way some people suggested, living up to the common Tibetan tradition of patience. I listed these things as an attempt to find what the disputes probably are. But the fact that I don’t feel inferior doesn’t mean that others feel the same way.
Secondly, the one thing I do mind, and does make me feel inferior, has nothing to do with Han people. It’s that I can’t speak my own language. It limits the contact I have with my own people, to the point where I’m afraid to deal with compatriots who only speak Tibetan, so learning Tibetan has been my biggest desire since I grew up. It’s because I want to be able to freely and confidently mix with my own people and because I want to do my utmost to understand my own ethnic group.
Finally, there isn’t really any need to give a serious rebuttal to anything, but my sensitivity and sense of inferiority demands that I counter one thing:
“… The question is, does this girl really understand her own people? Does she really love them?”
I don’t think I need to show anyone any proof of my love for my own people.
That post was followed by this one:
Dear Lian Yue,
This morning I read the letter you posted from a Tibetan girl. Just last night I was discussing the Tibet issue and the Dalai Lama’s statement with another government official, criticizing the government restrictions on media reporting and some of the illogical and obviously mindless conclusions. He suddenly asked me: “We’re so good to minorities. When do we discriminate against them?!” I said: “Why is it that so many people, as soon as minorities are mentioned, the first thing they think of is that minorities are backward, ignorant, dirty and uncivilized? They’re like everyone else, an equal group. They all have the right to have their own way of life. They’ve got different customs and a different culture. Why would we have this impression?! Isn’t that discrimination?!”
I felt I didn’t express myself very well and was wondering how to persuade him, Then this morning I saw your blog. I sent the article to him and sent him an SMS. In my email I said: “It isn’t discrimination that’s dreadful. What’s dreadful is not knowing that this is discrimination!”
A government official.

Powerful stuff! Good post.
actually, the Han regard the Tibetans as filthy&lazy, the Hui as murderous&thieves, the Mongols as uncivilized&barbaric. Nice to hear some voice from inside Tibet. All i get from western media r millitant tibetan refugees from outside Tibet.
Question.
Is this any different to the stereotypes that New Yorkers and Texans would have of each other?
Not trying to downplay the issue but stereotypes isn’t limited to ethnic groups within China.
There is a fine line between discrimination and stereotype. As for the Tibetan girl in the letter, she is losing her cultural identity, but I don’t think she could blame all to other people. She does feel shameful wearing ethnic clothings, she is not willing to let others know she is Tibetan. She even doesn’t speak Tibetan. So are these all discrimination?
@CAOSHIREN Well said.
And Hui people, who don’t have a ‘home land’ in any part of China, have been living among Han Chinese for hundreds of years and they mostly kept their identity.
Recently lots of Hui youths are trying to revive their Muslim culture and they feel proud of their identity. I never heard of anybody gets fired or lowered their wages just because they want to keep their ethnic identity. Instead, as far as I know, many ‘work units’ respect their ethinic Chinese workers as long as you let them know your culture.
I think the Tibetan girl’s experience is isolated and partially caused by herself and her family.
Good post.
“Is this any different to the stereotypes that New Yorkers and Texans would have of each other?
Not trying to downplay the issue but stereotypes isn’t limited to ethnic groups within China.”
That’s something I had never heard from a New Yorker or a Texan, asking whether Chinese would commit the same crime or not. When a New Yorker or a Texan is asked whether they stereotype others, they would probably say yes, and admits it was wrong to do so.
Is this a Chinese characteristic ?
Stereotypes exist everywhere, the Chinese often tries to downplay our own problems by saying “well, the US discrimination is worse” or “well, at least we didn’t do what the Germans did, etc.”
But guess what? It doesn’t matter if other people have also committed discrimination, the most important thing to realize is that we are discrimination against our own people, whether consciously or unconsciously.
This is not a genocide, a massacre, but it’s cultural discrimination, and it hurts. Why can’t Han Chinese just admit that?
well in this case, even “Han” Chinese discriminate each other. Just look all the cantonese vs shanghaiese vs northern Chinese Stereotypes. And this goes way back too.
here is one from the Tang dynasty. 汉儿尽作胡儿语，却向城头骂汉人 (Sons of Han all speak the language the Hu, then curses at the Han people at the city gates.) Keep in mind definition of Han back then is different from now.
In the end it better to keep an open mind to all cultures, otherwise it’s bad. 如果汉人搞大汉族主义，歧视少数民族，那就很不好。
In my opinion, it’s the same with how western people discriminate Chinese. Perhaps, it’s because the culture is so different that people are too curious.
I am a Han Chinese. I admit I did have some superferior to Tibetan when I studied at their history. It was not because of the culture or life stype, it was because they had long history of slavery until we “liberated” them. I did and still do believe we was trying to import good thing into Tibet, at least the intention is to make them to have a better life than they used to, as “good” as or even “better” life than what we were having. I don’t know how many of you notice this sentense:
Later on, my parent’s friend introduced me to a boyfriend who was Han. His mother was only worried about one thing: “She’s Tibetan. Supposing there’s a court case - my son would definitely lose.”
This is because Chinese govenment has always been giving Tibetan good policy and always rules Tibetan in winning situation if conflicts occur between Han and Tibetan, and also other minorities. I still remember about 20 years ago when I was a elementrary or middle school student, the teacher always taught us to yeild the minorities students to show our friendship. Well, I know it may be wrong, but nobody can deny it was from good intention.
As I grow up, I start to know people desire respect more than sympthy. I know I might have be wrong to some of my minority friends because I sometimes show my sysmpthy to them and it might have hurt them. But I was trying to be nice, I swear. Forgive me, my friends.
In a way I understand your desire to know your own people. I am born and raised in the west (which I love) and I have roots in China and India. Around my early twenties I started to meet a lot of Chinese immigrants from HK and mainland. I felt drawn to know them and mix within their culture. I hung out with them, but always felt like an outsider since I didn’t know their language.
What is about Tibet
carlfcao 13 Apr 2008 17:21
Well, to truly understand the situation in Tibet, we will have to separate the strategic and the tactical.
Richard and his colleagues, however sometimes misplaced, are doing what they should to expose the human rights abuses in Tibet and in China; for that matter, one can hardly blame them. For example, the shooting of a young nun trying to cross the border to/from nepal into Tibet is clearly an abuse and I am buffled by why no reporter or good natured citizen in China had followed up on that with the chinese authorities.
Was it established policy to shoot to kill? Has that policy being changed since the abuse being exposed? Was it just because of the sholdier who was trigger happy? Who is responsible for the policy, if it is indeed policy? Or has the soldier being charged if it was not official policy? While, no one likes people to cross their borders at will, e.g., passports and papers, there appears to me no need to open fire especially given this is a tourist area and for the last 20 or more years there had not been armed infiltration in Tibet. It is like if I try to cross the US-canadian border at will and at non-designated locations. I will surely be in trouble but shot at I will not be. That is the difference between civilized (US/Canada) and the not so … dare I say barbarous (China). Exposing such abuses have good value and make a tangible contribution to the debate and the further advancement of the Chinese state.
Now back to the real topic. The above, however deplorable, is a tactical situation. The root of the problem is strategic. I do not believe the Chinese just bend on just trying to be evil. Even the jihadists have their reasons - however misplaced to you and I may think. As an ancient civilization, the Chinese are not employing repressive means just for the fun of it. It is a tactic to pacify the region such that it does not get in the way of the overall national strategy for stability and development. While human rights abuses should be deplored and addressed, there will always be times to resort to the convenience of abuses to achieve its strategic goal. In fact, seeing in this light, the overall human rights conditions in China has its roots. Until that is the national development is fairly advanced, abuses will continue.
The real Tibet problem is about history, geography, strategic needs, religion, and irreconcilable differences between the Tibetan exiles and China (yes, I mean its people and its government). It requires immense wisdom and mutual understanding to come to a civilized settlement.
First we lay the context:
1) The Tibet exile community is at its heart an independence movement. It operated that way for 20+ years and has been forced to change its tune to autonomy in the last decade. However, its ideology still is clearly independence, however masked by the Dalai Lama’s statements.
2) The fate of the Tibet problem was sealed when the Dalai Lama was installed as both the temporal and spiritual leadership of Tibet by the Chinese emporer.
3) The geographical and religious status of Tibet is such that since the Tang there has always been a problem. At one time, the Tufan empire extended to most of western China.
4) Western China has always been a hotbed of ethnicity and conflicts and because of the nomadic nature of peoples, contestation for supremacy has been the rule rather than the exception.
5) The Tibetan population extends far and wide in western China and since ancient times, the nomads go to where the grass is green and therefore there has always been an explosive mix of ethnicity.
6) Since the Yuan Buddhism has been established in Tibet to such an extend that a large percentage of the population had been monasterial and that left a huge vacuum for its own defenses and had been a problem for the stability of the whole region.
7) Concept of nation state is a new invention to the region only in the last century. Before that, the primary drive for choices was chaos or stability - that was the realities of the peoples in the region. Modern concepts and aspirations should not be imposed on the people of the day.
I take the above as just realities, not truth, and not ideology. These are in fact the gifts of the history to the Chinese, Tibetans, and their leadership, by which I also include his holliness the Dalai Lama. I will leave it to the good reader to dig up the scholarly research, and not so scholarly, to decide for yourself whether these realities are true.
Now let us proceed to the analysis of the strategic issues, dilemma, and likely solutions.
Since they fled in 1959, the Dalai Lama and his group had based its ideology on independence. Funding and campaigns had been sought from the Americans and the British in the 60 until the 80’s. Armed guerilla war had been conducted with infiltration into Tibet from Nepal. However, because of the special condition of Tibet, no one, not even the US at the height of its support for the exiles could come forward to support them for independence. However, Dalai Lama and his group have managed to persuade themselves that independence is their goal for the reason that is the only way to unite the various factions of the exiles. In 1989, his holliness brought himself to proclaim that China should splinter into 7/8 pieces and he will be back as the temporal and ecclesiastical leader of Tibet, which he later murmured to be just a big mistake.
By the last decade, strategic conditions have dictated that independence is unattainable and hence the subsequent change in tactics whereby offensive for autonomy and human rights abuses became the preferred method. As I pointed out earlier, this is only meaningful from a tactical point of view by gathering sympathy from the western societies (because these human rights abuses are real) and put the chinese on the spotlight. Nevertheless, the western leadership and the Dalai Lama should be quite clear in their mind that it is not going to lead to a strategic settlement of the issue.
At the minimum, the Dalai Lama can be accused of duplicity and “when he speaks to the man he speaks human language, and when he speaks to the devil he speaks the devil’s language” - as the Chinese say.
In the last 30 years, there had been many negotiations between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government. Real opportunities had been presented several times (e.g., death of the Penchan Lama, Pilgrim to the Wuta Mountain Temple - a buddhist shrine, and selection of the new Penchen Lama) and in all cases Dalai Lama had recoiled from taking those opportunities. I do not believe he is evil and bend on upstaging the Chinese either. What really happened - only my opinion, and this is for future historians to analyze - is that in the final calculation he was overruled either by himself or my his apparent minions that in all cases they will likely to be viewed as deviating from the independence party line by their followers and that it risks too much to lend credibility to the Chinese that Tibet is not independent. Can he break out of this ideological coffin and initiate real negotiations on autonomy with the Chinese? If this were to happen, then these negotiations will have to happen in secret otherwise the pressure from the exiles will be too great.
Viewed from the Chinese side, given the Dalai Lama and his group’s history of violent struggles for independence, there is a long way to go for him to establish its true credendials as an autonomy seeker.
Why then not independence for Tibet? After all, do we not uphold self-determination to be one of the cherished civilized principles?
Well there are principles and there are realities. Because of the mixture of ethnicity and lack of dominant leadership, Western China had always been a problem. The Chinese could rely on eastern and central China for their livelihood and taxes, etc. However western China had always been a lunchpad for raids into the settlements on the fertile plains. That wall in China is just a reminder how much they wanted to just stay in and mind their own business. Under the Yuan (mongol) dynasty it was not a problem; all lands were under their rule. With its deprived male population, Tibet is not a military threat and the spiritual contributions made it also a valuable tool to provide comforting thoughts to the whole country.
Had it continued, we will see a very different China. Perhaps equally successful as a civilization and maybe even dominant in the way that the US is. However, the mongols were incompetent after Kublai Khan and the dynasty collapsed. Before the mongols were driven into exile they also took the empiral seal. So in a way, the Ming dynasty was illegitimate, which also excercised little if any control in Tibet and because the mongols and Tibet had been completely disunited, it was no bother to the Ming anyway. The MIng had much bigger things on their mind with the high seas and teh re-surgency of the Manchu. Now, enter the Manchu. The Qing allied with various Mongol tribes and in fact got the empiral seal from the mongols; the Qing had their power in the alliance with the Mongols and Han chinese defectors from the Ming. However, by this time the mongols were a splinter of tribes. They had used Tibet as a base for mischief in western China and of course the Qing courts cannot tolerate that. Had Tibet been stable it probably would just end up like Korea and the Qing would have minded their own business. But lack of male fighting forces had led to Tibet being used by the outlaw mongol tribes and invaded by Nepal. Further and further weaknesses had compelled the Qing court to consolidate its grip on Tibet more and more.
By the 1900’s, it no longer is a matter of stability and control. This time the Chinese empire was the victim. Tibet was viewed as another case of western imperialistic designs and for strategic reasons, the Brits and Americans were just as eager to please China to keep out the Russians and trade in their priviliges in eastern China; the spoils there far outweigh any inch of snow covered dirt in Tibet as long as, that is, the border with India is stable.
So it is the case, the Tibetans did not have a nation state and not recognized as such. The Chinese has claim over a multi-ethnic state including the Tibetans and were recognized widely. Nevertheless, we were in 1900 and the Tibetans lords have heard about it, and something stirred in their hearts, that they can also have their nation state. Wouldn’t that be nice to be rid of the corrupt and weak Chinese. With the collapse of central power in China accompanying the Manchu dynastic ruin, they had finally grasp of their own fate, but China was not just going to give up and nobody want them to be masters of their own fate. Curiously, for whatever reason they did not make a formal declaration of independence either, perhaps still have not grasped the concept of nationa statehood fully. In any case, despite its weakness and war-lordism, the Republic of China certainly was in no mood to see their country to be nipped away piece by piece. Despite lack of real control, it maintained its claims and fought every opportunity of external recognition tooth-to-nail. With past sins in mind, the Brits and the Americans were just as enthusiastic to prop up the integrity of the multi-ethnic Chinese state.
Enough said about the dead.
Here we are in 2008. The Dalai Lama with his burden of independence cannot gather enough wisdom and strength to overrule his minions to take a deal on autonomy. In all the opportunities he had been presented, he had upstaged the chinese and opted for pleasing his western backers than to do the right thing for his ethnic brethren to provide a stable livelihood. How can the Chinese trust him now? Just look at the risks and the dilemma they are in.
His holiness is not just a religious figure. He has temporal rule over the Tibet TAR area. But ethnic Tibetans are spread over a wide area in western China, amongst the Mongols, Hui Muslims, Han Chinese. Let’s just imagine what happens in western China if he returns to Lhasa in his current capacity. In the morning prayers, all Tibetans, in the TAR and elsewhere deep in other provinces, will be praying to his picture frames. At noon, he orders an edict that taxes shall be collected for each 100 yuan earned and sent to the this-and-that monastery. Oh, worse still the town head shall be appointed as this-and-that name. Does this apply to the TAR or does it apply to all of the ethno- Tibetan areas in western China? If it applies to all areas, what about the Muslims, the Han chinese, and scores of other ethnic groups who live alongside the Tibetans. This is precisely the reason why the 1959 agreement had failed. So as I said the problem is a mixture of ecclesiastical and temporal issues.
Worst to come, with his proven independence streak, what if the Dalai Lama calls for an independent Tibet once he is installed in the Potala Palace. As I said, the time for independence was gone with the 1911 ambiguity and the great powers rejection of Tibetan lords request for recognition. No Chinese body-politic, communist, socialist, republican, nationalist, reactionary, progressive, liberal, etc. can permit China to be now torn apart. So if the Dalai Lama chooses to play mischief once in Tibet, what would happen? Would the Chinese have to send the troops? The ensuing bloodletting would not be something we want to see. I do not believe the Chinese will want to see it either. A moralistic and practical question would be “do we prefer the inconvenience of human rights abuses here-and-there or the full scale killing if the solution provided further aggravates the problem?”
So as I said before autonomy is the only way out. At the same time, some give-and-take have to happen such that not only Tibet TAR but also the ethno-Tibetan regions will need to have substantial autonomy so they do not feel under-privileged compared to their distant cousins over that lake. So what about the Hui muslims and Hans living alongside. Well, we are talking about full- blown democracy. But I do not think China can afford that right now - that is just reality. That is a different topic and not really related to this. All I will come back to is that old wisdom: “Ruling a giant state is like stir-frying a wok of small fish” - dated Wendi era (Han Dynasty).
So the Dalai Lama, if he truly wishes to care for his ethnic brethren in his life time, will have to take a firm stand against independence to establish his credentials of not playing any mischief once installed in Lhasa. For one reason or another - all internal to the exile community, my opinion only - he cannot bring himself up to that task. It is too convenient to make TV speeches. Whatever he is saying he has to back it up with action. Further still, given his past he has to act in that direction than what may look to be reasonable. For the Americans, think of it as a Nixon making a deal with Mao - why it could not have been a Kennedy?
Nevertheless, autonomy is coming to the Tibet TAR and beyond. That is with or without his holiness. The Chinese leadership, I will still say they are the best crop of leaders today (if you take your ideology out), is not stupid. If I can, they can recognize a big problem is at their hand and they will have to make policy adjustments. Given the only way out is autonomy, you can expect some form of that will be in place in the next 10 years gradually. The Chinese are full of proverbs and they do follow them. They probably will not care too much about who is in charge in Tibet “as long as he/she catches the mice” - that is a stable Tibet and within China. Before that were to happen, again, they are going to be “feeling the stone at the riverbed to cross the river.”
Why do you guys demonize every Han people? It’s the policy of the CCP.
Even in Hong Kong, where majority population is Han people, CCP wants schools to use Mandarin instead of Cantonese as teaching medium. Many locals protest it because it’s exterminating Cantonese in HK. As for the discrimination, I think this is more like the misunderstanding between people who live in urban cities and people who in countryside.
This is just one of the many similar but not nice stereotypes exist between Chinese people from different area: Shanghainese towards SuBei, Beijing vs Shanhai, some towards NorthEasteners, Lhasa woman towards Sichuan women, HongKong residents towards mainlander, Muslims vs Han ,city residents towards migrant workers etc. More seriously there were books few years ago about Henannese . These are not caused by government policy or encouragement. This has nothing to do with that government official.
I don’t see these are provincial or ethnic discrimination neither a dreadful situation. These becomes less and less after more understanding, more communication , more contacts between different Chinese people from different area.
Regarding the clothes and languages, many of the younger Han people in the cities don’t speak their local dialects anymore and don’t ware traditional Han clothes anymore. And many feel shameful if they are not able to speak good mandarin. Also the government work units wouldn’t allow a very traditional Han funeral in their memorial hall either. It’s just not a particular situation towards Tibetans.
Most of the conversation here is gentle, looking for understanding, and I like it.
I think the difference between a New York/Texas stereotype, a national-regional stereotype of any kind, and that expressed by the young Tibetan woman, lies in the question of power.
If those holding the stereotype also hold the power to deprive–of security, status, income, etc.–then this is something much different than typical regional characature of outsiders.
A New Yorker or Texan will still be an entitled American, no matter how bad the stereotype.
I’m not sure that Tibetans have the same security of identity and place when it comes to Han stereotyping of them.
From wikipedia
“Tibet boasts a rich culture. Tibetan festivals such as Losar, Shoton, Linka (festival), and the Bathing Festival are deeply rooted in indigenous religion and also contain foreign influences. Each person takes part in the Bathing Festival three times: at birth, at marriage, and at death. It is traditionally believed that people should not bathe casually, but only on the most important occasions.”
I’m sorry that the woman who wrote the letter felt ashamed, but I have to feel that a large part of the reason she felt that way was personal.
While there are narrow minded Han Chinese, there are narrow minded people everywhere. As education increases, ignorant people will decrease.
Tibetan stereotypes are in no way brought on by the government, which tries to enforce an image of ethnic harmony, if anyone has ever watched CCTV.
In China, minorities receive affirmative action, the new schools in Tibet are low cost and of better quality than in eastern China, the schools have dual Tibetan and Mandarin language classes (this is from an ex American English teacher’s blog, don’t remember the name), and are generally favored by government policies.
While discrimination and stereotyping can certainly exist on an individual level, on a governmental level, I have not seen any evidence proving such a thing exist.
Tinywolf, Do you have any evidence of court cases where Tibetans are given preference over Han? Is this a perception or reality? I can think of many more decisions that preference Han. For instance, it is more difficult for Tibetans to get passport than Han chinese. Tibetan writer Woeser was not given passport and allowed to travel overseas, while her dissident husband Wang Lixiong was allowed to travel overseas. He said himself that the reason his wife was not allowed to travel, while he was allowed, was that she was Tibetan, while he is Han.
hey everybody?
