Tashi Delek! Hello!

I am Pema Dorje, Tibetan, 27 years old. To be precise, I am a Jiarong Tibetan, and I also belong to the "Kham area". I can gallop freely on horseback, and my heart flies with the eagle. Confidence, perseverance, and loyalty are what I think a Kham man should have. I am Pema, a Khampa man who chases his dreams. Having said that, I should have quite a lot of connections with you. Speaking of Siguniang Mountain, you must have heard of it more or less. I am from here and belong to the Jiarong Tibetan ethnic group. My parents are both Jiarong Tibetans. When chatting with Han friends, they said that I speak Chinese very well. Because I once studied in college in Chengdu, Sichuan for four years. Sichuan is a very good place, but I still went back to Lhasa. The moment I set foot on the land of Lhasa, I knew that I was back.

In Lhasa, I live in the same "world" as you

Before I came back, many friends always asked me worriedly: "Brother, will it be difficult for us to keep in touch in the future?" Are you on?" I was a little sad, a little want to laugh, and a little touched. I said, yes, I will definitely get in touch.

Even when I meet strangers on the Internet, they often ask me cautiously, is the Internet in Tibet stable? I would like to express my gratitude to all the friends who are worried about this and those who have not met me. I would also like to talk about my real life in Lhasa. Like young people in the Mainland, I also like brand-name mobile phones very much. In our unit, there are many colleagues who use Apple and Samsung mobile phones. I have two cell phones myself. A Samsung and an Apple. But I still prefer the iOS system. There are free wifi in many places in Lhasa, and they are also installed in bars, restaurants and homes. It saves a lot of data. I only get 25 yuan of data every month, which is more than enough.

For Xiaomi mobile phones, which are very popular in the mainland, Lhasa is rare. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just that there is no Tibetan version. My mother tongue is Tibetan, so of course it is more convenient to speak my mother tongue. After all, in Lhasa, most people’s Chinese proficiency is not very high.

Like you, various social software, WeChat, Weibo and QQ are relatively popular among young people in Lhasa. There are several people in my circle of friends who basically post them online or in their circle of friends every day when eating or sleeping. Brush the screen! ! Some people say that it is rare to see sharing from Tibetan friends on Weibo. I think it may also be a language problem. Most Tibetan friends have some language or communication problems when communicating on the Internet. But in our own small circle, these are not problems. Basically, people share things in the circle every day. Of course, many are in Tibetan.

I downloaded WeChat 5.0, but the performance of the masturbation game is just average. There are a few friends who play better. I play relatively few other mobile games.

Sing it, it is also very popular among young Tibetan people. There are often friends sharing in the circle of friends.

However, very few people in Lhasa use catering apps similar to Dianping. On the contrary, outsiders always like to use them when they come to Lhasa and leave comments. Not used by locals.

Speaking of the stories I saw on TV and the Internet about Tibetan children walking long distances to go to school. Those are very remote places. Lhasa has changed a lot now.

E-commerce is also accepted by many people in Lhasa. Many people in Lhasa do business on Taobao, mainly doing specialty products, cordyceps, saffron, Tibetan jewelry, etc., and some also do some antique business. Many mainlanders also go to Lhasa to buy goods, which also brings huge income to the Tibetans in Lhasa. Many people earn millions or tens of millions a year. I have accounts on Taobao, JD.com and Tmall. My "world" is a little different from yours

Having said so much, I haven't introduced my own work yet. I opened a company called Tibet Agudunba Network Technology in Lhasa, and took on some website work. I also ran a website dedicated to collecting Tibetan folk songs. Don't ask me about income. My website is still not profitable at the moment. depressed.

I heard that being a programmer in Beijing makes a good income, but it is very hard. Then let’s talk about the life of programmers in Lhasa. I go to work from 9 to 1 o'clock and from 3 to 6 pm every day. I work 7 hours a day and sometimes work overtime. The remuneration for employees is also good, usually 3,000-10,000 yuan (house prices in Lhasa are between 4,000-10,000 yuan). Although this is a good income in Lhasa, many companies still cannot retain talents. Tibet is very, very short of talents.

Many of my employees are from the mainland, and it is difficult for them to adapt to life in Lhasa. They usually work for a few years and then go back.

Some people may have questions: Don’t young people in Tibet major in computer science? Nowadays, very young children in Tibet have begun to play with computers. When I was in school, everyone was still very interested in majors including computer science. However, after graduation, very few people are still engaged in this industry. Young people in Lhasa rarely choose to start a business, but they really like to take the civil service examination.

What is there not to say about Tibet? In fact, there are still many. The development of the Internet in Tibet is slower than that in the Mainland. Most of them are imitating the Mainland model, and there are even fewer industry-specific niche websites. Cars, real estate, portals, weddings, information stations, none of these are available in Tibet yet.

There is no car website or second-hand car network. When we need to buy a car, my friends and I usually go to the car market early on weekend mornings to buy. Note that here, we rarely use Google Maps or other navigation methods, so people who don’t know the way will have more trouble here. Because you can only rely on road signs. Besides, Lhasa doesn’t need a map to navigate. It’s a small place, and the map is not complete at all. You might lose it if you just follow it. There are many places here that cannot be found on the map and are not marked. In Lhasa, you can only rely on road signs!

Very few people use the popular marriage introduction websites such as Century Jiayuan and Lily. We usually communicate through introductions from friends and family, through QQ and phone calls. Haha, I haven’t married a wife yet, so I’m a little shy. No more to say.

As for the mobile Internet, a mainland friend I was chatting with (well, the one writing the note below) told me about Baidu’s light application, which I haven’t heard much about. None of my friends use it. I don’t know much about Internet finance either. Young people use online banking more. Uncles over 40 years old can basically only go to banks to handle business, not online banking. In Lhasa, Internet finance feels far, far away from our lives.

We Tibetans are a nation that is very good at singing and dancing. I love music very much, and I love the music of my own nation even more. I have also established a website "China Tibetan Music Network" that specializes in collecting Tibetan songs. Speaking of which, this website was built while studying while working. Currently, we have collaborated with many Tibetan singers, including: Yangjin Lanze, Ali, Sanmuke, and Gaoyuanhong Group. Speaking of dreams, I hope that one day I can have a large room in which I can put the "treasures" I have collected and organized over the years, including various musical instruments and related materials, and build a music museum. In this museum, everyone can witness the development history of Tibetan music. Will it happen?

Finally, what should you end with? The sunshine in Lhasa is very good now. Okay, that's the end, I think I will stay here forever...

Zhaxi Dele!
