Chinese writers in Dharamsala
(TibetInfoNet) A group of Chinese writers left Dharamsala after a six-day visit. Three of the writers, Li Jianglin Zhu xuyuan and Eliza Han currently reside in the US, while the others, Li Jian Hua, Zhao Qigiang and Yue Jian Yi are from China. The visit was announced as a fact-finding mission and the writers intended to describe the Tibetan exile institution as independent writers. They had audiences with the Dalai Lama and Karmapa and were received by Samdhong Rinpoche, head of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). They visited major CTA departments as well as local NGOs. The visit was at the invitation of the Association of Tibetan Writers.
