Life-changing journey takes IU senior to Tibet, Thailand, back home By Bailey Loosemore | IDS

Finalexams, friend problems and stress about plans for thenext school yearupset Abby Borger as she walked, crying, down theovercast, pollutedstreets of Nanjing, China last year.
On her way to unwind at anart museum, the overcast sky suddenly clearedand a flaky snow began tofall. Borger looked up and saw a Chinese monkwalking toward her.
Neither the monk nor Borger said a word, but when they passed, he handed her a gold-plated card.
Alittle smaller than a playing card, it had a picture of GuanyinPusa,the Buddha of compassion, on one side and a blessing written inChineseon the other.
“After that moment, I decided to convert to Buddhism,” Borger said. “Like, right there in the middle of the street.”
The card now lies in a music shop in Tibet with the other belongings Borger left behind when she was asked to leave the country.
Borger,a senior in the Individualized Major Program with a minor inTibetanstudies, asked that her name be changed for her own safety. Sheplannedto study overseas at Tibet University in Lhasa this fallsemester.
Borgersaid she arrived in Lhasa about a year after she arrived in China andmoved into the dorms at Tibet University on Aug. 28.
Classesbegan on Sept. 16, a Wednesday. The next day, she went to renewherexpired visa and was told that all foreign visitors were going tobeasked to leave before Oct. 1, as the government expected outbreaksofviolence during the 60th anniversary of Chairman Mao Zedong’s andthePeople’s Republic of China’s rise to power.
“Oct. 1 is sort oflike America’s Fourth of July,” said Gedun Rabsal, aTibetan languagelecturer at IU. “They want to celebrate peacefully andwithoutinterruptions. And if there are interruptions, they don’twantforeigners to see.”
On Oct. 18, Borger finally arrived back inBloomington, missing somepersonal items but, instead, possessing astory she feels others need tohear.
“Basically, I’ve seen more than the Chinese government knows that I’ve seen,” she said.
Borger witnessed beatings of monks and other natives on an almost daily basis in Lhasa.
“It’s a good thing I got out of there alive and in one piece,” she said. “I didn’t want to see my friends dying.”

Fivedays after Borger heard of the ruling from the visa office,TibetUniversity informed her that classes would be canceled beginningthenext day and students would need to find their own ways out ofthecountry, she said.
She obtained a temporary visa and caught a train to Lanzhou, China on Sept. 28, three days before the celebration was to occur.
“Inthe three months before I got back to the states, I spent about afifthof my time on trains, planes, buses and backs of trucks with loadsofbarley and sheep,” she said. “The only thing crazy enough to followmearound is my violin.”
After traveling by two trains and a plane,Borger found herself inThailand for two weeks, waiting to hear if thesituation cleared up inLhasa.
She tried to contact her friendsfrom Lhasa while in Thailand. Theirphones would ring the first timeshe called, she said, but no one wouldanswer. On subsequent attempts,it would say the line was disconnected.
Borger said she is nowon the Chinese government’s watch list. While inThailand, she said shetried to send an e-mail about her experience toher family and friends.The e-mail bounced back three times, she said,and she could not accessher school account for three weeks.
After a friend in China eventually received her message, Borger said her friend’s phone was shut down for the rest of the day.
“If people in Tibet are known to have contact with me, they might disappear,” she said.
Twodays after Oct. 1, Borger said the Chinese government reported at least200 people had died in Urumqi, a city north of Tibet.
“Basicallywhat I know is this,” she said. “These four Tibetans wereconvictedthis past week and publicly executed. Come Oct. 1, many peoplediedwhen they came out to protest. It happens every year around thistime.”
TheChinese government cracked down on security in Tibetafterdemonstrations that took place on March 10 of last year, saidElliotSperling, associate professor of Tibetan studies.
The datemarked the 49th anniversary of a mass protest in 1959, whicheventuallyculminated in the capitol of Lhasa, where hundreds ofthousands ofpeople surrounded the Dalai Lama’s palace to protect himfrom danger.
The demonstrations spread across the plateau and ultimately exploded into violence.
Theprotests received worldwide coverage when journalists located inChinato cover the Olympics spoke about the violence taking place,Sperlingsaid.
“March 10 has always been sensitive,” he said. “Tibet isundertremendously tight security this year. And if there is violence,theydon’t want foreigners to see it.”
In February of this year, Borger said she spent the Chinese New Year with the family of a doctor in Xiahe, China.
Thepeople of Tibet did not formally celebrate the holiday, she said,inorder to honor those who were murdered during the 2008demonstrationsand those who died in an earthquake that occurred a fewmonths previousto the celebration.
Foreigners were not allowed in the city atthe time, Borger said, andshe was not permitted to leave the doctor’shouse. Three days after NewYear’s, Borger said she left the family soas not to bring them harm.
She wore Tibetan clothing and ascarf shielded her entire face excepther eyes, which she hid beneathbrown contact lenses. Borger said shedisguised herself in order tomake it out of the city to a bus stationunharmed.
Borgerarrived at the bus safely, but as it pulled out of the station,shesaid she saw three Tibetan men being tossed into the street fromapolice station.
Afraid she was going to throw up the tea thefamily had given her, shewatched as five policemen beat the men withsticks and broken bottles.By the time the bus left the station, bloodcovered the ground and thethree men were not moving.
“Do I want to be here for a full year?” Borger remembers asking herself. “I don’t know if I can handle this.”
Lookingback, Borger’s time in Tibet and China had many ups and downs.Shefound religion, she said, but she also saw acts of violence thatwillstay with her for the rest of her life.
“For someone in myposition, a 20-year-old white girl from Chicago,that’s tough for me todeal with. ... Tibet has cured me, and it hasbroken me.” PRINT | Email | SHARE | COMMENTS (16) |
