South of Lanzhou in the Gansu & Sichuan provinces, the area is largely populated by Tibetans. So I was out on a Sunday hike around the Kirti Gompa Monastery in Langmusi, when a coal truck came off the road. It took two hours for the monks to unload. It seemed everyone came out to help.
A truly unforgettable experience.

Interesting use of human power which we do not see so much in the west these days. Are the Tibetans more laid back than the Chinese ?

Hi Lifecameos. Its a hard question to answer. I think the whole country is pretty energized as everyone needs to work hard to make ends meet, Tibetans, Hui and Han Chinese alike.

Yes. I suppose the drive to survive would make you work pretty hard. Maybe the Chinese are more entrepreneurial.

Wonderful cinematography, Andy! The blue truck and the monks’ deep red robes were eye catching. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, huh? I enjoyed this short film very much, and how the monks banded together to make everything work out in the end. Lovely work!

I’ve noticed that many of the monks are young boys. I would think this would be like a game to them in comparison to their more contemplative duties. And the slapping in the other video is much like boys playing around. Just a thought from a once middle school teacher.

Actually there are all generations in the monastery. I loved watching them all running down the road after school had finished ha ha. Yes well to be honest I was just a fascinated observer when it came to the debating. The locals down the road filled me in with what was happening
