🎓 Imagine graduating from one of China's top universities with a medical degree, only to choose a completely different path! That's exactly what Phuntsok Drolma did, swapping her stethoscope for a pen to share the vibrant stories of Tibet.
Coming from a family of doctors, the expectation was clear: follow in the family's footsteps. But after earning her degree in clinical medicine from Fudan University, Phuntsok felt the call of storytelling. 🌟
She returned to her hometown of Lhasa and became a freelance writer. For the past six years, Phuntsok has been using the internet to introduce Tibetan culture to the world. 🌍 Through her WeChat platform, she's shared over a hundred unique narratives about ordinary Tibetans, all told in her own distinctive style.
\"I just wish my name will be discovered, and the stories I document will prove useful in studying Tibetan society,\" she says. 📖✨
Her stories bridge cultures, bringing readers closer to the heart of Tibet and offering a deeper understanding of its rich traditions. By showcasing the lives of everyday people, Phuntsok is building a virtual bridge that connects communities and fosters empathy. ❤️
Her journey reminds us that sometimes, following your passion can lead to amazing places—and can even help the world understand your culture better. So here's to Phuntsok, the doctor-turned-storyteller who's bringing Tibet to our screens, one story at a time! 🚀📚
