One day in June 2007, when I was wandering around in Lhasa, I ran into 3 little orphans who were taking care of a small local tea house. Further conversations with them revealed a shocking story: a local Tibetan couple has adopted over 80 orphans over the past years. The main sources to cover all the costs were the profit from the tea house and donations from locals because it's a private and not-so-famous orphanage. I later went to their home and met the kids. I didn't take a lot of photos there.

07年6月的某天, 我在拉萨乱逛的时候, 无意中走到了一家藏民的甜茶馆. 它是由3个10来岁的藏族小孩打理的. 后来跟她们聊天才知道她们都是孤儿. 是由一对藏族夫妇收养的. 这对夫妇在过去这些年已经陆续收养了80多个孤儿. 经济来源主要是甜茶馆的收入和一些当地人的捐款. 因为这只是个小小的私人办的并不出名的孤儿院. 我后来去了他们家, 跟孩子们待了一下午. 最真实的感动永远都不是来自于闪光灯下的伟人名人, 而是散布在角角落落的不起眼的普通的不能再普通的人.
