In this touching and sad story, Tsering Kyi, a Tibetan refugee who escaped the Chinese in 1999 and fled over the Himalayas to India, and then to America, writes about the death of her nephew. He was the first Tibetan to self-immolate in 2013. He died protesting China\u2019s occupation of Tibet and demanding the return of the Dali Lama to Tibet. Kyi recounts her nephew\u2019s story and tries to come to grips with his death. At one point, she says, \u201cDeep down, I too believe that the flames that rose from my nephew\u2019s body will illuminate our struggle for freedom and bring a ray of hope to my suffering homeland.\u201d Read the story here at the Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
