What’s the Movie About?
The film is directed by a man named Shenpenn Khymsar. He claims to be a “Tibetan exile” and made this movie to share his views on Xizang’s history. He even dedicated it to the 14th Dalai Lama on his 90th birthday! 🎂

- Ming Dynasty (1368–1644): Xizang willingly accepted the central government’s leadership.
- Qing Dynasty (1644–1911): The central government strengthened its governance in Xizang.
- Republic of China (1912–1949): Xizang was clearly stated as a part of China in the constitution.
