This is one solid proof of the so called modernization and liberation of the Tibetans..looks like this kid is liberated onto the streets for begging. Do something China, you are spending billions on the olympics to build your image, at least build some decent schools in Tibet so that these kids don't have to beg on the streets...

@Turfan369

No, for people who are still having free will and mobility, it is ok.

For people who were terrorized with horror till paralyzation of will and thinking,

physically shackled to labor, tortured as natural, born brainwashed to be sheep for the butcher table, this is even cruel than massacre, worse vile than murder, God must intervene ! God is in anger !

@utostupid "This is strictly an internal affair of Tibet"

@Turfan369

Really sure ? If every one became a monk, who were left to do the hard work and service to give your slave owning parents good and luxury life ?

In that era of extreme low tech productivity, how many people were needed to sweat blood in order to accumulate wealth that your exile parents brought with ?

It is time you pay some back !

@utostupid If he were born before the 1949.

I'm 100% sure that he lived in the monastery and he became a good monk.

You have too little knowledge about Tibet.

@Turfan369

Suddenly drawn by rapid modernization and prosperity of Lhasa, they gave up herdsman life and came to Lhasa, wanting to share rich living, but they found themself unskillful for city life and illiterate, so they went begging. Despite 90% Lhasa registered dwellers are Tibetans, but like capitalist China, every one here become self interested, no one is going to open their yard to house these country couzins. May be you exile Tibetans are willing to donate ?

@Naptu69

These are Tibetan nomads children, had they been born b4 1948, they'd have automatically become slaves/personal property of Dalai Lama and his aristocracy.

Now they are just free birds, in the past they and their parents had been grazing on the vast tibentan grassland. Out of respect for human rights and ethnic customs, the local government cannot force them to change their life style and settle down, as a result, they were not attending any school, and end up being illiterate.
