Our member Lily spoke to Tibetan friends about the recent two cases of Chinese people supporting Tibetans! In the 49 days since Lobga Rangzen's self-immolation.
Dear Tibetan friends:
Today we honor Lobga Rangzen. As a Han Chinese, I want you to know: you are not alone. We love freedom just like you; we want democracy and freedom of speech just like you!
I know you have felt discouraged. So do I. The world has been so silent for Tibet for so many years. The UN, the EU, the US — resolution after resolution, yet the repression in Tibet never stops. But now I want to tell you, there are more and more Chinese people waking up and starting to help Tibet! That's the light of our Tibet freedom and China freedom. Please remember two Chinese names.
Zhang Yadi, known as Tara, twenty-two years old, an editor at Chinese-Speaking Youth for Tibet. She studied Tibetan, wrote articles, and exposed the lie of the "liberation of Tibet." The only thing she has done is to use the truth to reconcile the misunderstanding between Tibetans and the Chinese. Last summer she went home to visit family, and China state security seized her in Shangri-La. The charge: "inciting separatism." She is still held in a detention center in Changsha. How can a 22-year-old youth student be inciting separatism?
Zhang Yi, from Wuhan, a veteran of the 1989 student movement. On July 1st this year, at Sera Monastery, he tried to borrow a prayer mat from a Tibetan woman. They shared no common language, so he showed her a photo of His Holiness on his phone. For that one photo, he was taken away on the spot — same charge, now held in a Lhasa detention center. And that day was the very first day the "Ethnic Unity Law" took effect. The law legalized the similarity policy and does not allow Tibetan people to speak their own language in their own land.
One article. One photograph. And the state reaches for the crime of "splitting the nation" — this is exactly what Beijing fears. Not Geneva. Not the EU. Not Washington. It fears its own people — people who awaken to the truth; Chinese and Tibetans sitting together is the CCP's biggest nightmare.
So do not lose hope. The key to Tibet's future also lies in the hearts of 1.4 billion Chinese. Every Chinese person who learns the truth about Tibet is another crack in the wall. Zhang Yadi wrote for this. Zhang Yi took out that photo. Lobga Rangzen gave his life for this. Our task is to keep their voices alive.
Lobga Rangzen, we remember you. Zhang Yadi, Zhang Yi — we are waiting for you to come home.
Free Tibet! Thank you.

This young Chinese man's name is Hu Sheng. This is his first time participating in a Tibetan protest. He said he started to learn more about Tibetans' struggle after Lobga Rangzen's self-immolation.
