| Abstract
|
:
|
In My Tibetan Childhood, Naktsang Nulo chronicles his life in Tibet's Amdo region during the 1950s. Recalling events he experienced at the age of ten, he describes his upbringing as a nomad on the grasslands of Tibet's eastern plateau. He depicts pilgrimages to monasteries, including a 1,500-mile horseback expedition his family made to Lhasa. A year or so later, they attempted to flee by the same route as troops of the People's Liberation Army advanced into their area. Naktsang's father was killed in fighting that ensued, part of a little-known wave of unrest that took place throughout Amdo in 1958, as Tibetans rose up against the imposition of social and religious reforms by the Chinese forces. During the next year, the author and his brother were imprisoned in a camp, where after the onset of famine, very few children survived. The narrative reveals, through the eyes of a child, the lived experience of the forced and violent incorporation of the Tibetan heartlands into the People's Republic by Chinese troops in the 1950s. The author's matter-of-fact accounts cast the atrocities that he relays in stark relief. His book was published in 2007 in China, where tens of thousands of unofficial copies are believed to have circulated. It is one of the most reprinted works in modern Tibetan literature. This translation offers rare insight into a fascinating, painful period of Tibetan history. -- from back cover.
