Talk about Tibet - 3 fish story

my proposal for a project to use

 the creative media to challenge the myths about Tibet

 promoted by the Chinese authorities

I started to use the footages I
 took as an inspiration tank to generated ideas. 

There were many complicated issues raised by my interviewees.

 For example,

 I had one interview of several students

 from different countries having

 a long discussion of the comparison of the relationships

 of China and Tibet, of China and Hong Kong

 and of China and Taiwan.

 It was over complicated

 by a lot of historical references

 include the British Empire, 

the first and second World War,

 the civil war and independence of China,

 different religion and ideology.

 I remember that during the interview, 

a British student and an Indian student 

contributed a lot while a Brazilian 

and a Spanish student finding themselves

 overwhelmed by Chinese names of people

 and places they had not heard of and

 by historical events they were not familiar with.

 So they had to stop the conversation 

going into endless details and asked 

what was the major difference 

of the three in twenty-first century? 

Nobody provided a clear answer

 at the end.

 But when I was editing the interview

 a few months later at home,

 I felt there must be a simple answer 

which could be understood

 by a person with little knowledge of

 the background or a child. 

I believe in my project,

 it might be a better idea 

to present a mini-story of

 the answer rather than showing

 the whole discussion of raising up the question.

 Also if I could keep the story short, 

I would be able to edit it into different versions

 to battle over internet censorship in China.

The first one is about the very complicated 
subject I mentioned above: 
the comparison of the relationships of China and Tibet,
 of China and Hong Kong and of China and Taiwan.
 I try to present it as a simple and cheerful
 children’s story or a folklore leaving the space for different versions
 with or without the voice over.
