Quote

"It is not so easy for Tibetan people to survive and thrive under such harsh natural conditions on the plateau. This might be difficult for people from the outside to understand. The Tibetan people have also developed a unique culture, which has made great contributions to humankind's social and cultural development. I believe such an influence will continue long into the future. "
