Some photos from WoeserPosted by Joel Martinsen, August 3, 2006 7:38 PM
![]() As noted by Reporters Without Borders, blogs belonging to poet and essayist Woeser have been pulled from two Chinese blog providers. Belatedly, then, we bring you some photos and comments that Woeser posted while her blogs were open. At the launch of the Qinghai-Tibet railroad, she commented on the flags and banners covering the city of Lhasa:
![]() "The Q-T Railroad is the line to happiness for all the peoples of Tibet."
Last month, Woeser ran a series of photographs from a book she published in February. Forbidden Memory: Tibet During the Cultural Revolution collects several hundred photographs taken by her father during the CR; Woeser captioned the photos, wrote essays on historical events and the changes experienced in the intervening years, and interviewed several dozen Tibetans of her father's generation. The book's Chinese title is "Killing and Plunder" (杀劫), pronounced "sha jie," which happens to be the pronunciation of the word "revolution" in Tibetan. Woeser writes:
Woeser was spurred to write Forbidden Memories by the Tibet-focused writer Wang Lixiong, and the two later married. In the book's introduction, Wang writes:
Interestingly, though Woeser's blog is has been killed, photos still remain on the Daqi servers, and individual pages are currently accessible through Sogou's cache system (and Google's, probably). Check out Locus Publishing's site for the Forbidden Memory book if the cache vanishes. UPDATE: Woeser's blog can be found at Middle-way.net. She's posted more photos from the book there.
