A short retelling of a story told to the author.
Perhaps as expected, the story is told from a Chinese viewpoint, which isn't so common on books about Tibet. As such, the Tibetan aggressors are described as savage and brutal, the Chinese as the liberators of Tibet to teach them how to grow better crops, treat their illnesses. As I say, not unexpected, and not laid on too thickly, but it is certainly a theme in the book.
Nice story, with a few minor stories within the story!
