Woeser on a visit to Tibet, where she grew up.

Most Chinese believe the government’s view that Tibet is thriving under China’s rule. They rarely hear about China’s heavy hand there or its suppression of Tibetan dissent. That’s where Tsering Woeser, a poet who grew up in Tibet, comes in. She lives in China and writes in Chinese striving to give a voice to her people.
