On Oct. 10, 2006, we
planned to interview
our Tibetan language
teacher: Ms. Larigy
Wang. But she was not
in the office since
it was noontime .After
we had waited for twenty
minutes, some teacher
told us that Ms. Wang
went out to teach Tibetan
dances. Hence, we changed
our plan.
The next day, Ms. Wang
was still not there.
'Let's write some words
to express more', suggested
Niu Dang-zhi . All agreed.
Zhang San-jie went out
to fetch some white
paper, Shan Jian-lin
borrowed some pens,
Niu Dang-zhi and Gao
Ji-li wrote on the paper.
After about one hour's
effort, we finished
the picture.
On Oct. 18, we finally
found Ms. Larigy Wang.
We introduced to her
about the competition
of Cyber Fair, and told
her we hope to let more
people know about Huarui
culture from this competition.
She was very excited
to hear and came with
us to our office. She
told us that history
of Tibetan writing is
over 1300 years. There
are 44 letters in Tibetan,
30 are consonants and
4 are vowels, 5 are
for loanword and 5 are
aspirated. When write
Tibetan characters,
it should be written
from left to right.
Ms.
Wang taught us how to
write Tibetan Characters
and helped us to read
all letters. We wrote
Chinese phonetic transcription
under the Tibetan letters
and we tried to remember
all these letters.
Ms. Wang added Tibetan characters
to the picture we drew.
This year, all students that learn Tibetan language
were transferred to Minority Middle School in the capital of Tianzhu County. And Ms.
Wang, originally a Tibetan teacher, now has changed to teach English. We don't
know if she misses those students who learn Tibetan.
Before we left, Ms.
Wang lent us a book that introduces Tibetan culture. We were quite pleased and
sang a song to thank her.
These days interview made us feel quite excited.
We not only learned knowledge about Tibetan language, but also understand that
Characters are carrier of ethical culture. Tibetans created our own characters
and language, and this made our culture recorded and reserved. We are quite proud
of this.
