Phuntsok Drolma, a Fudan University medicine graduate, traded her stethoscope for a pen to document the lives of ordinary Tibetans. \"I just wish my name will be discovered, and the stories I document will prove useful in studying Tibetan society,\" she said, reflecting on her mission to bridge cultural divides.
For six years, Drolma has published over 100 narratives on her WeChat platform, highlighting Tibet's rich traditions through personal stories of local residents. Her work offers a counterpoint to stereotypes, showcasing daily life, aspirations, and cultural practices in the region.
\"Through the power of her words, she brings her readers closer to Tibet and its people,\" the platform notes, emphasizing how digital storytelling fosters global empathy.
Drolma’s journey underscores a growing trend of young professionals leveraging technology to preserve heritage while connecting with international audiences. With 70% of Tibet’s rural population now online, creators like her are redefining cross-cultural engagement.
