作者簡介
I was born in 1984 in my father’s home in Chewree Village, very near the present Zhanggo (Luhuo) County Town, Gahnzee Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. I am currently a student in the English Program in Qinghai Nationalities Teacher’s College, Qinghai University. I began to learn English in 2002. This is my first book.
In the summer vacation of 2004, Dr. Kevin Stuart encouraged me to write about my life. I then wrote about all the important events that I could remember in my life.
