Wangdu's Diary | Blackneck Books
For over three months in 1980, schoolteacher Wangdu chronicled daily official meetings and pre-arranged visit to schools and educational institutions across Tibet for the Third Fact-finding Delegation - generally referred to as 'educational mission'. Its members, including Wangdu, were sent by the Dalai Lama ad the Tibetan Government-in-Exile to inspect the condition of education in occupied Tibet. This diary meticulously records the delegation's journey across Tibet covering over thirteen thousand kilometres and visiting over forty-one towns and many villages and pastoral communities. Consequently, it is an invaluable account for today's generation of Tibetans when there is neither direct access to the plateau nor any first-hand information coming out of the country under China.
