Tales of Tibet
For many Chinese, Tibet is not a controversial topic. It’s merely a region the average Chinese citizen knows nothing about.
That was the case for Jianqiang Liu, a senior investigative reporter at China’s Southern Weekend newspaper, before he traveled thousands of miles from Beijing into the Tibetan Plateau.
Throughout last year, Liu traveled across the autonomous region, in Lhasa and far into the countryside. The issues facing the Tibetans became apparent, Liu said.
“I didn’t know a thing about Tibet until I met a Tibetan,” Liu said.
Here are some of the photographs Jianqiang Liu took in Tibet. He presented a slideshow of photos on Oct. 31 in Asia Colloquium.
