MY UNIVERSITY

Everyone has a sacred place deep in his or her heart. I have two such places:one is my hometown Lhasa who gave me my life;the other is my alma mater Peking University who gave me not only knowledge,but the ability to think for myself instead of following the herd and swimming with the tide. I was born in Lhasa,and finished my primary and secondary education there.Most of the teachers in my primary school,Lhasa Experimental Primary school,were     

Lhasa Rejuvinated

MY BUDDY BENNIE

Abstract

Most of the things I know about Bennie Keel, he would not want to hear repeated. However, as Bennie generously remembered me at my retirement symposium, I will attempt to honor him with equal dignity, without releasing too many skeletons from the closet! I first met Bennie in 1964 at the Society for American Archaeology meetings he hosted with Joffre Coe in Chapel Hill. Our paths next crossed in 1972, when I began graduate school at the University of North Carolina. Bennie taught me everything I learned about archaeology during that first year. Although he left the following year, we have remained close friends and colleagues, sharing both triumphs and defeats with a candor that only redneck buddies can appreciate.     

我的“走调”希腊之旅

西藏第一高朋

Back in 2014,during the opening ceremony for the Tibet Yak Museum,a hoard of guests came in from Beijing as well as from areas throughout China.An adequate venue for accommodation for such a large event was an absolute must.Tibet Hotel was one suggestion.The location of its grounds was rather close to the museum's campus.The idea indeed made it convenient to hold various sorts of activities,regardless of the fact the hotel was somewhat old with little to no luxurious facilities,though the staff is known for excellent service.

MY COVID-19 DIARY

Written in weekly instalments, Michelle Munyikwa's Covid-19 diary reflects upon the experience of an unfolding pandemic from her dual role as a medical trainee and anthropologist living in the United States. Her observations centre on everyday encounters with scenes or objects that reflect the growing crisis, from the absence of masks outside patient rooms to emergent forms of care through telemedicine. The diary follows the author as she experiences grief, ambivalence and disorientation in the first weeks of the pandemic.     

我家后院是凡尔赛

在Morgan Lefevre的相册里,有一张他在凡尔赛（Versailles）家里的照片。远处红瓦黄墙的乡间小屋,阳光透过繁茂的绿荫投下斑驳的影子,院子里红花绿草长得狂放不羁。突然明白了为什么当年路易十四（Louis XIV）会选中这里建造他的“太阳宫”,400年间历史更迭,铅华洗尽,可土地依然保持着旺盛的美。这是个见过大世面的小城市,传奇就在身边。当世人朝圣般地涌向凡尔赛宫,而对像Morgan这样的当地人来说,那就如同自家后院的—块大草坪,是他们真实生活的一部分。

Trees in Lhasa

Trees are flourishing in Lhasa wherever the history exists. There is such a man. He has already been through cus-toms after his annual trek to Lhasa, which he has been doing for over twenty years in succession to visit his tree.Although he has been making this journey for so long,it is neither to visit friends or family,nor is it his hometown.It is a tree that is tied so profoundly to his heart.When the wind blows fiercely on the bare tree and winter snow falls,he stands be-fore the tree with tears of jo...     

心灵的肖像

十几年前．差不多是在当时中国摄影界的舆论经常指责什么“边疆热”,“西藏热”的时期．我开始踏上了西去之路。之后几年．我有了《天莽》和《藏人》两本影集。许多朋友都劝我见好就收．不要一年年地再跑西藏了。年迈的父母更是语气强硬。这也难怪．有几回进了藏北．实在没地方去打电话．遇到了大雪灾．家里一个月都没有我的音信。     

任重“非”我莫属

西飞14小时,从约翰内斯堡继续向西驱驰十公里,Shamwari保护区的茫茫四野之上,菲洲大草原的一天正辉煌落摹。乘上路虎吉普车韶过崎岖的山路,在时差煎熬和发现的兴奋交替恍惚之中,捻角羚、大羚羊、狮子、猎豹、长颈鹿在金色的草原中登上任重南非旅行的第一摹。在地平线红如烈火的一瞬,任重登上山坡俯瞰狂野的草原和峡谷,连手上细细的香槟杯子都闪耀起光晕,如黄金般珍贵的一则,任重频步按下菜卡相机的快门,在清脆的机械幕帘卷起又落下的声响中,夜幕和寒冷便接踵而至。次日清晨的猎游想必会弥补昨日的意犹未尽,天刚刚擦亮便整装完毕,大家再次登上越野车,拉起厚厚的毛毯,这间隙,任重却拿出相机,LCD显示屏上是昨夜非洲大草原之上的璀璨银河,星宿如织,天穹纯净,树影婆娑,宁静隽永的照片背后看来是继续熬夜的付出,任重手中的相机绝非摆摆样子。

The Day in Lhasa

Procession at Sunup As the sun rises,pilgrims,one after another,come from various directions and gradually form a procession around the Potala Palace.Undeniably,in the short term,this daily procession has been reduced due to the negative impact of the tragedy that occurred on March 14~(th) in Lhasa. Notwithstanding,today it seems everything has returned to normal.
