I remember the night in 1980's my mom came in with a copy of literatural journal and told me that it contains banned material. A few months later, most people in Beijing (or even China) have read it. Years later I found an English copy at a Japanese bookstore in San Francisco. The translation is great. If you want to know the part of Tibet that Chinese government doesn't want you to know, read it.
