For centuries, nature and poetry have intertwined in the skies over Xizang. Three centuries ago, the sixth Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso penned these memorable lines, urging the white crane to lend its wings—a poetic symbol of a deep connection with nature.
This May 23 marks the 74th anniversary of Xizang's peaceful liberation, and CGTN is commemorating the occasion with a fresh documentary. The film traces the mesmerizing journey of black-necked cranes through the seasons—from their enchanting spring courtship ballets and the challenges of summer parenting, to their breathtaking autumn migrations over soaring peaks and their gentle winter sojourns in village life. 🎥🦢
At the heart of the story is 75-year-old Tenzin, whose life has harmonized with the gentle calls of these cranes. His insights reveal why the residents of Xizang hold these birds in such high regard, celebrating a timeless bond between humanity and the natural world. 🌱
This documentary invites young minds and adventure-seekers alike to embrace a message of coexistence, inspiring us to appreciate the delicate dance of nature that continues to shape cultural heritage and everyday life.
