Features: Over the past decade, I have visited the Tibetan-inhabited areas of China more than ten times for interviews. In today's world driven by "modernization," the Tibetan regions of China may be the "last Shangri-La"! It is so beautiful there: the snow mountains possess a singular beauty, the rivers a composite beauty; the monks have a beauty of piety, the ordinary people a beauty of youth; poverty has a beauty of candor, and wealth a beauty of philosophy; men are beautiful, women are beautiful, and beautiful children are the beauty of tomorrow. I merely hope to share my joy with many viewers, for the conscience of humanity needs more beauty!
