"This is memory of my youth in Tibet. I spent the first two years o f my career there after graduation. The Potala Palace is different in everyone's eyes, but with common significance."

-Shuaishuai, one of Chongqing post 80s, went to Tibet for the third time in 2007, and worked in Lhasa for the next two years. This is the picture taken in front of the Potala Palace where she and her three good friends enjoyed themselves.

After that, some of them chose to stay in Tibet, while others returned to the hustle and bustle cities. But Tibet and Lhasa remain in their minds.

Shuaishuai tells her story:

It was the summer of 2007, and I came to Tibet for the third time. Actually, I had decided to stay and live in Tibet.

Then I lived at a hotel run by one of my friends in Xianzu Island of Lhasa, together with some friends. We worked hard every day and then went back home, cooking and chatting.

During a long period, I and other three friends would ride along with a dark road at night while singing happily all the way to the Potala Palace square.

At that time, we took a lot of pictures on the Potala Palace square. We would stay there till the deep night when the lights were turned out. We sat there quietly and watched the Potala Palace for a long time.

We were in Lhasa and everything happened at that time connecting with Lhasa, while what kind of the relationship between us and the Potala Palace is? If I have to define its significance, it's the deep love I'd bear in my heart, as the Potala Palace is a beautiful dreamland to me even when I was a child.
