Tibet's illegal occupation by China back in 1959 led to a prolonged pain of homelessness, insecurity, distress, and uncertainty.

These eyes! Gloomy yet hopeful. They saw their houses looted and demolished to rubble. They saw their women raped, and their loved ones murdered and butchered. They saw things worse than a nightmare. They saw obscurity darker than a new moon night.
These faces! Dejected yet sanguine. They still wait for the darkness to get over. They wait for the night to pass and await wishing each other on a new morning of freedom and peace.They wait for their loved ones to return. They await justice for their women, children who were raped, tortured and butchered.
These souls! Perturbed yet calm. They are worried. Worried because China's dictatorial tendencies are rising. Worried because the aid coming from the West is shrinking. Worried because their future is unforseeable. Worried because their culture and identity are dimming day by day. Worried because their community is scattered and disconnected.
