My
Sound BIte
If someone asks me
what the best thing
I have got in 2006
is, I would reply
without any hesitation,
the answer is to participate
in the competition
of Cyber Fair. In
these 4 months when
we prepare to the
competition, I touched
so many things that
I ignored before -
the richness of Huarui
culture, the efforts
and passion of the
students, the help
from all neighbors
and Yellow Sheep River
Project.
There is no traditional
gap between the teacher
and students in our
team. We communicate
and discuss without
any constrain. I really
admire the children's
will and aptitude.
We solved many problems
happened depend on
their living experience.
I always find unity
and passion in the
team.
The result is not
very important to
me (But at the same
time I want to give
a positive proof to
the students), I have
got a lot from the
process.
This is just life,
you don't need to
care too much about
the result, the more
important thing is
if you have got the
scenery in your way.

I feel quite fortunate
to participate in
the competition. Although
some thought that
to participate in
such a competition
would effect on my
study, but the result
is that my performance
is improved. I found
there are too much
that we can learn
from Huarui culture
when we go out to
interview. That is
like a man keeps looking
for the chance to
get rich and he doesn't
find that treasure
just buried in his
own garden. I am that
man, Huarui culture
is just beside me,
but I never feel any
special. As we continue
our research, I last
found it is so different.
Followed the teachers
guidance, I begin
to touch Huarui culture.
Although 'Culture'
is such a big word
for me, I feel I love
my hometown more after
this different experience.
Teacher's
Comment
He has remarkable
leadership - this
is a common view.
He has great manners
when meet people -
this is a common view
too.
Shan Jian-lin is a
child rich of living
experience, he devoted
great passion to this
activity and he always
found ways to solve
the problem when we
were in trouble.
And I also get a deep
impression of his
riding on a motorcycle.

I'm a Tibetan, but
I know little about
my own race, and cared
little before. That
is the reason why
I didn't choose to
learn Tibetan language.
After participating
in the competition,
I become very proud
to be a Huarui Tibetan.
I have a wish to learn
ethnic culture in
an ethnic college
in the future.
I moved mostly by
our teacher's word,
'Ethnical is international'.
When people are busy
chasing the tide of
International, they
forget their own ethnic
culture, and that
is the root of everyone.
I will thank to my
teachers and my classmates,
thanks for you encouragement
and care to me.
I am the son of Huarui
Tibetan and I deeply
love my own people
and race.
Teacher's
Comment
Dang-zhi and I are
good friends. To solve
the problem of his
tuition, I applied
for donation for him
in Yellow Sheep River
Project, and he got
the help from a lady
in Taiwan. He is good
at study and quite
lovely. I often visit
his home, and his
parents actually paid
great interesting
to our activity out
of my expectation.
They offered great
amount of material
to us.
Thanks for the support
of Danzhi's family!

My
Sound BIte
I am a girl from
a rural village. I
always imagine how
colorful the outside
world is. And I really
thank to my teacher
to give me such a
good chance to touch
so many warm-hearted
uncles and aunts.
And I also improved
myself in the activity.
I remember the first
time when we began
to interview our schoolmaster-
Mr. Yang, I felt quite
nervous, and I still
made several mistake
after many times training.
Mr. Yang got no angry
and encouraged us
to continue interview.
I felt much more relax
to talk in the later
interviews.
At the very beginning,
I don't know what
to do. Then our teacher
asked us to read some
books about Tibetan
culture, and I began
to get some idea about
it. At last we have
the ability to design
our own plan and we
found that we have
made a progress.
If I have the chance,
I would like to participate
in the Cyber Fair
for the next year
with my teachers and
classmates.
Teacher's
Comment
She is always vivid,
and always took us
lots of joy when we
went out. In the past
she was quite afraid
of writing, now I
found she has made
a great progress on
writing.

I'm not good at
study and express.
But my teacher still
chose me as a member
of Tubote Team member.
I really thank to
the understanding
of my teacher.
My family has a strong
feature of Tibetan,
but I have never known
more about it. This
time I have the chance
to know it and I found
I love my race much
more.
I hope that our effort
could make more people
learn Huarui Culture
and I also hope that
we could win in the
competition.
Teacher's
Comment
No one had though
that she would be
selected to a member
of Tubote Team when
we began to choose
students to participate
in the competition.
Since as usually,
students who are good
at study would be
selected. But I found
that she is an absolute
Tibetan and she has
the great ability
to bear hardship and
she is patient.
I gave her more chances
when we went out to
interview, such as
let her talk to strangers
and encouraged her
to take us to Tibetan
families that she
knew. After this I
found she became more
open than before.

I went to Westland
Village in winter,
2006. And only spent
half of a day with
the teacher and the
students. But I have
kept talking and giving
suggestion to them
on the Internet for
over one year. Each
week they will send
me some articles and
pictures about their
interviews for Cyber
Fair 2007, and each
time I will feel moved
about their writings.
I should thanks to
these students and
their teachers, they
let me know about
Huarui Tibetan Culture
and deeply attracted
to this wonderful
culture. And also
I was quite moved
to these students,
they had to overcome
too much difficulty
to finish the project.
I believe the experience
of participating in
Cyber Fair is great
for these students
live in great mountains.
And I bless all of
them and Huarui Tibetans
have a bright future.
