March 31,2017--The Chinese government has made great efforts in promoting social development and cultural protection of Tibet, and has managed to help Tibetan people live a better life, says a French writer named Sonia Bressler at Saturday’s launch ceremony of her new book Discovering Tibet, which is her third book on Tibet followed by Crossing Tibet and Journey to the Heart of Tibet and is published by the Oriental Publishing House of Paris.

 

Bressler has visited Tibet three times since 2007. Initially, it was all down to her childhood longing for the Himalayas, but after visiting Tibet for the first time, she developed a deep affection for this piece of land. Afterwards, she returned to Tibet to immerse herself in the lives of local people and give her account of the real, complete Tibet to Western readers.

 

In Discovering Tibet, Bressler shares her understanding on Tibetan culture and history, as well as her interviews with Tibetan entrepreneurs, train conductors, Tibetan doctors, Thangka artists, monks and other people.
