En juin 2014, à l'association Aide à l'enfance tibétaine, G. Leroy rencontrait Tenzin Tsundue, militant pour la liberté du Tibet. Ils ont eu l'idée de donner la parole à des étudiants tibétains sur le thème Tibet, mon rêve. Treize textes ont été sélectionnés qui racontent autant de parcours de vie. ©Electre 2025
Tibet, my dream
In June 2014, in AET-Paris, Gilbert Leroy received Tenzin Tsundue, tibetan activist-patriot. He wrote « Kora, stories and poems ». Among other subject matters, they talked a lot about self-immolations. Today, China has initiated gigantic projects in Tibet : unbridled exploitations, nuclear tests and storing of radioactive waste, countless checkpoints, high-voltage lines, railways, tunnels, bridges, highways and a very problematic project : the diversion of the Brahmaputra river towards China. And to further make Tibet people suffocated, a non-stop surveillance with video cameras and digital controls, kilometers of building, end of nomadism... Situation has become sounbearable that, since 2010, too many Tibetans choose an extreme form of resistance to call for help : self-immolation.
After a long silence, Tenzin Tsundue said « There are other ways to resist than self-immolation ». That's how I got this idea to give voice to Tibetans students, offering them an avenue to express themselves on the theme : « Tibet, my dream ». On this topic, the AET, in relation with the ministry of education of the Tibetan Government in Exile, organized during the year 2015, a competition opened to all the 2nd year Tibetans students. We received 36 pieces. We rewarded 20 of them by a scholarship. 13 of these are published here. During the year 2016, Gilbert Leroy tried to meet most of these students in India to get a better understanding of their lives, 13 life trajectories.
