Tales from Tibet 阿里阿‪里‬

Life in Ngari is difficult for all. Babies suffocate in the womb, plants do not grow. Vegetables are a luxury and soldiers feel blessed if they see their wives once in a year. Many die due to a lack of oxygen, and others battle avalanches, blizzards, mudslides, altitude sickness and diseases only to die when a car flips over on the perilous China National Highway 219. In Ngari, death is an easier alternative to survival; however, through the stories, we discover it is also a place of kindness and friendship.
