Post-80s in Tibet (II): auspicious writings on the board

Editor's note: Post-80s is a term symbolizing a Chinese generation who were born in the 1980s, after China was opened up to the outside world. The Tibetan post-80s share the same characteristics with their peers in other parts of the country.

The following story will present you a youngster in Lhasa, capital of China's Tibet Autonomous Region, showing his path in artworks, Tibetan language learning and his goal of holding a solo art exhibition.

The Barkhor Street is in the center of the old Lhasa city. And it is the only street in Lhasa, through which visitors can see the true color of the old Lhasa city. It is also the best demonstration of the development of Lhasa's religion, economy, culture, handicrafts, local customs and practices.

On the afternoon of Oct. 16, 2011, Kero, a Tibetan post-80s unfolded the untold stories of "ChangShing", a kind of traditional writing board in Tibet, to his friends in a much-applauded and well-cheered personal exhibition held in a courtyard in Barkhor Street.

The exhibition has many distinctive features. It not only displays Kero's artworks created through combining traditional Tibetan painting techniques with modern elements, but also shows audiences some wooden writing boards collected from the rural and pastoral areas of Tibet in two years' efforts. 
The wooden writing board in Tibet was called "ChangShing" in Tibetan language.

Many youngsters can still recall times when they sat with legs crossed and practiced writing on the "ChangShing" writing board. [Photo/Rao Chunyan]
