I take the liberty to publish this poem of a friend of mine here, simply as a reminder of a tight present situation that needs universal support...
AT THE RISK OF LIFE
By Tsoltim N. Shakabpa
Just as the sun
Sheds its rays on the moon
To give light to the earth
In the darkness of the night
So too must we stroke our hearts
To raise hope in our hour of despair
Just as the bee stings its aggressor
To protect itself at the risk of life
At the hand of the aggressor
So too must we sting the Chinese
To defend ourselves at the risk of life
At the hands of the Chinese
Just as salmons swim upstream
To spawn their future generations
At the risk of life at the hands of bears
So too must we struggle uphill
To fight for our children's future
At the risk of life at the hands of the Chinese
Better we risk life
Than live in fear all our lives

AT THE RISK OF LIFE, by Tsoltim N. Shakabpa
AT THE RISK OF LIFE
By Tsoltim N. Shakabpa
Just as the sun
Sheds its rays on the moon
To give light to the earth
In the darkness of the night
So too must we stroke our hearts
To raise hope in our hour of despair
Just as the bee stings its aggressor
To protect itself at the risk of life
At the hand of the aggressor
So too must we sting the Chinese
To defend ourselves at the risk of life
At the hands of the Chinese
Just as salmons swim upstream
To spawn their future generations
At the risk of life at the hands of bears
So too must we struggle uphill
To fight for our children's future
At the risk of life at the hands of the Chinese
Better we risk life
Than live in fear all our lives
