註釋It is not possible to fully understand contemporary politics between China and the Dalai Lama without understanding what happened in the 1950Õs. The third volume in Melvyn Goldstein's History of Modern Tibet series, The Calm before the Storm, examines the critical years of 1955 through 1957. During this period, the Preparatory Committee for a Tibet Autonomous Region was inaugurated in Lhasa, and a major Tibetan uprising occurred in Sichuan Province. Jenkhentsisum, a Tibetan anti-communist ŽmigrŽ group, emerged as an important player with secret links to Indian Intelligence, the Dalai LamaÕs Lord Chamberlain, the United States, and Taiwan. And in Tibet, Fan Ming, the acting head of the CCPÕs office in Lhasa, launched the ÒGreat Expansion,Ó which recruited many thousands of Han Cadres to Lhasa in preparation for beginning democratic reforms, only to be stopped decisively by Mao ZedongÕs ÒGreat ContractionÓ which sent them back to China and ended talk of reforms in Tibet for the foreseeable future. In Volume III, Goldstein draws on never-before seen Chinese government documents, published and unpublished memoirs and diaries, and invaluable in-depth interviews with important Chinese and Tibetan participants (including the Dalai Lama) to offer a new level of insight into the events and principal players of the time. Goldstein corrects factual errors and misleading stereotypes in the history, and uncovers heretofore unknown information on the period to reveal in depth a nuanced portrait of Sino-Tibetan relations that goes far beyond anything previously imagined.
