It's abosolutely normal when you cannot visit the site above, like the Dalai Lama never have the chance to obtain any success.

How to survive?
From the inferiority complex?

It's a problem.

It's said that 1 million Tibetans died several years after their 1959's insurrection against the Chinese aggressors, that is, 1/6 of the whole Tibetan population.

That description approximated to the truth.

The 9th Bainqen Erdeni wrote a 70 thousand words report in 1962 to state the tribulation suffered of the Tibetan people. The report expound with humility to Premier Zhou Enlai a horrible story happened to the lords, civilians and the Buddhism culture during 1959 to 1961. As a respected leader, he was very saddened with what had happened: so many people died of insurrection, of classes struggle, of disastrous famine.

I don’t know how my father would response to these words; he was once a soldier in late 1970s. But I know definitely that he would call to remembrance the miserable memories of his family during the three successive years of famine. China's official Xinhua News Agency had described it as Three years of Natural Disasters. It happened in 1959 to 1961, same time Bainqen accused for, when 1/4 population of my father’s village died of hunger, including an elder brother of him. There is no definite evidence any way stated how many people died in those years, but a widely quoted calculation told us at least 10 million people died without any war in Sichuan Province, that is, 1/6 of the population back then.

Yes, without any war, all died of hunger.
Yes, same ratio with the Tibetan.

It's a tragedy, a whole nation's tragedy, not just for the Tibetans.

So, just cherish what we have, don't blame, don't arouse any hatred between us.
After all, we are a family for so many years.
We've moved on, the whole family, even in those desperate time passed.

I was sitting on a oily smooth bench, struggling with that 2 yuan meal as usual in a student-oriented cheap restaurant outside my school, when the news came that the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO.

I was a junior three student then, striving hard to prepare for the coming examination for entering senior school. I would play football in that nice football field with my fellows once in a while, or play PS games like Winning Eleven 3 in the still student-oriented game room. I loved the StarCraft so much that I didn't mind waste some time to play Terrain against other classmates. Every Saturday afternoon was our big-time to relax for a while, we would rush out of the classroom after the bell rang to contest for any table-tennis table. That was one of the happy times in my life, I love my Junior school.

2150 years ago, a great poet went from here to Chang'an, Capital of the Han Dynasty, to strive for the whole nation's praise. He did.
I can still read his poetry without any difficulty. I wish I could be someone like Sima Xiangru in those days.

When the CCTV showed us the ruins of our embassy that very Saturday evening, everybody fell silent at that moment. It was a huge humiliation, nobody would forget that, ever. It's reported that tens of thousands of students took to the streets to crusade against American's hostility. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth? No, we cannot strike back, for they are the only super power of the world, they can do anything if they like.
All we can do is throwing some eggs on their embassy, that's all. Every student could feel their sneers when the one stood outside of that stupid embassy. Their bombs blew our embassy with the old nation's self pride to pieces, we can only watch, then pretend to forget that.

What filled in my mind at that moment was "Yuan Ming Yuan". "Opium War", "Treaty of Nanking", "The Nanjing Massacre", horrible shooting and robbing.
Every enemy must be made to pay for their insolence. I believe.

No one would willing to remember these, no one would willing to forget.
But we have to, everyone knows those who do not study history, are doomed to repeat it.
This is the sorrow only doomed to belong with the "Weak Nation".

Sort of familiar?

Yes, Dalai Lama once remarked this.

Every people survived in the modern world deserves respect:

The Italian who named the western society;
The British who created the modern world;
The Arab who saved the European civilization;
The Indian who teached half Asia to think;
The Russian who never failed any national war;
The Mongolian who conquered 4/5 of the civilized world;
The Chinese who dominated the East Asia ever since civilized.

So does the other people.

Tibet was once powerful when Sontzen Gampo found Tubo Dynasty early 7th Century, but soon they fell into a complete collapse into anarchy and sectarian bloodletting until the Mongolian came, no matter how you regard it, since when Tibet was indisputable part of China legally.

But the era of nation-states has been moving towards its end, a new Globalization era is now waving to us. China suffered a lot to adjust himself to adapt to the new era. The whole nation is even now suffering the swift change caused by the rapid expansion of our economy, you shouldn't blame this nation for everything you are now suffering. Maybe you should find out why you people is now behind the Times.

In the cold weapon age, the competition between the Empires was cruel, for example, the Mongolian killed 200 million people during their conquest. The Mongolian takes great pride in their Empire, but they suffered unquestionable bruising military defeat by Ming Dynasty in 1410, because the hot weapon age had come. They never have the chance to turn over by the cavalry again. They are now using Кириллица(Cyrillic) to spell their Khalkha Mongol, leaving the old Uyghur-Mongol created by Genghis Khan in the dust.

The Tibetan said they wish to stand alone like Mongolia, and take the Inner Mongolia as a positive proof of premeditated culture extinction(Dalai Lama). But what the truth is the Inner Mongol can still read the rescript issued by Genghis Khan, can write the Uyghur-Mongol Script used by their King 800 hundred years ago. How about The State of Mongolia? They are now using the letters invented by the people they once conquered, left their King alone. Anyone who has interesting about this would search the key words"Ulaanbaatar" to find the pictures of their Capital.

When I started this topic several days ago, I thought I would finish it right away.
After all, It is just a simple issue in my mind back then.

Maybe.

Maybe as simple as a drop of water, maybe as complex as that drop.

When I tried to defend my nation in my opera community by using English, I had to face the reality that my dear country stabbed me in the back by blanking off this community rudely. I felt really bad about this rigid behavior The Propaganda Department of CCCPC carried out.

There have been too many Cs in my life, I thought. I had just resigned from a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCCC half years ago, now I have to face the omnipresent news Censorship Coverage of CCCPC in the internet. Most maddening of all is that the damn technology provider of the famous advanced GFW System is CISCO.

OK, let it go. I must finish the topic this time.

Like most peers in this country, I was educated to respect the ethnic minorities from childhood. But it's not easy to respect them in a very appropriate manner. The problem is that: they are not just something like the endangered species, they are human-beings. What they need is TRUE respect, which means we are now equal in any way; we can talk about the nice bubby of that girl leisurely. Well, it's not easy for me to swear in the name of my mother that I just respect them. Generally speaking, just like the Western common people never respected the Chinese, the Chinese common people never respected the minorities. All they have is courtesy, unconcerned courtesy with some superiority complex, and pretending to be equal in any ways.

It's harsh, but the truth is harsh.

What's the problem?

First of all, it's not a moral issue.
It's about equality. All men are created equal? It's just a dream. Inequality is constant in the world.

Then we should discuss where does the respect hide.

Take me as a example:

1: I’m not a philanthropist, who loves and respects everything sincerely, I’m sort of so hot tempered that I would easily choose to come to blows with that guy who dare call me by the four-letter words.

2: I’m not such an easy man who would tell every first met friend of his pursuing life ideal or the color of underwear.

So, when I met a wayside poor Tibetan in Ganzi County in my junior year of University, I just felt a little superiority complex and greeted him with courtesy.
But he would think that: hey, that Han people may have mercy on me deep in his smaile, we are born equal, I don't need his any pity.
When the government decided to give the Tibetan 20 bonus point in NCEE, he would take this as another type of pity.
When the temples were destroyed by both the fanatical Tibetan and Han people, he would blame the Han people were evil, and the Tibetan was lost.
When lots of Tibetan and Han people were all starved to death, he would blame the Han people had just carried out a massacre.

The weak nation is inclined to believe them victims and behaves in an one-sided way, the strong people is inclined to let things slide and behaves in a more all-sided way.

So, the world is full of terrorists and cracking down, full of war in every aspects.

The world is not perfect.

I will expain in a short way for what reason should I have such a confident mood?

Well, as a Han-Chinese, I know a little history of the Dynasties of China. The Dynasty of Central Plains of China dominated the somewhat isolated East Asia ever since The First Emperor united China 2229 years ago.

The traditional Chinese Civilization considered the whole world (land under heaven) is composed of the Central Empire (basically suitable for cultivation); the civilized edge Fanshu states (a bit like Vassal states): Corea (Korea), Annam (Vietnam), Wo (Japan), small Kingdoms in Malay Archipelago; North Barren Land, scattered with nomadic barbarians (Huns, East Hu, Turk, Tungus, Qiang-Tibetan, Uighur); Other far away nations (Our historiographer knew the Roman Empire, but the emissary mistook the Persian Gulf territory as Rome Empire and just went home after presenting the credentials to somebody. -_-!).

The East Asia are geographically independent in the ancient times and the Chinese never have the chance to face another powerful Agricultural Civilization’s challenge, all the enemies were barbarians, barbarians and barbarians bla-bla-bla. In the nature of things, the Chinese formed that a little bit silly arrogant world-centered myth.

After the modern nation-states were founded one after another, the Communist Party of China finally united this nation and founded the modern China stumblingly also. It was then 1949, the Han-Chinese just dominated this country like old times, but here comes by a hard nut to crack: there are so many highly civilized powerful countries in the world, how to survive?

In the old times, the North Barren Land (Northwest Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Western Desert Regions, and Mongolian Plateau) was less important when there were no real Civilization threats beyond this region.

But times changed.

East Hu (Is there anyone really care about this? I doubt.):

The East Hu people was exterminated by Huns in Qin Dynasty(221B.C-206B.C), the lefted were divided into 2 people: Wuhuan and Xianbei;
Wuhuan was exterminated by Cao Wei Dynasty in 207 A.D, the Xianbei was assimilated into Han-Chinese, the left of Xianbei evolved to Rouran people;
Rouran was exterminated by Turk in 552 A.D, the left were divided into Qidan and Mongolian;
Qidan (Khitan, Katay) people was assimilated into Han-Chinese.

How to survive?

In the cold war?

It's not a problem.

When a country feels unsafe, he would try to defend. That's all.

So, the army were sent to Xinjiang, Tibet and later Korea in the early 1950s after the PLA destroyed the nationalist Kuomintang regime in the late 1949s, like most regimes which regenerated the whole China's unification did in the history.

If Kuomintang won the civil war, they would also send army to Tibet, I believe.

After all, Unlike the ancient times, Tibet is of greater strategic importance now. It's not a moral issue, it's about national interest.

Still, I thought the government of China needs to reconsider the policy on Tibet affairs, It's time to establish real local autonomous system, like most regimes which regenerated the whole China's unification did in the history.

All the nationalism are generated from a Common Inferiority Complex after the masses receiving no more than obscurant and brainwashing education.

I don't think there have been generated a rising Nationalism Thoughts in China, but I can feel the Inferiority Complex clearly, both the Tibetan and the Han. The whole education system need to be reconsidered profoundly, all of us shouldn't take ourselves as victims anymore!

The Tibetan would crazy today, we would crazy tomorrow.

So, just give the Tibetan some freedom, give the common Chinese some freedom too.
Don't be partial, please.
