China rebuilds Dalai Lama's village

Beijing, Sep 25: China has rebuilt all the 54 houses of Hong'Ai, the birth place of Dalai Lama in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Gongpo Tashi, the stocky Tibetan whose prime job is to maintain the birthplace of his uncle, Tenzin Gyatso, (the real name of Dalai Lama) said, "if I call him some day, I will definitely tell him of the changes at home."

However, he is not sure the Dalai Lama will ever see the changes.

Gongpo Tashi, 63 who has visited the Dalai Lama twice in India, says he has not contacted his uncle for a while. "Am I waiting for his return? Well, if he is back, all problems will be solved," media quoted him as saying.

The Dalai Lama lives in exile in Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, India, since fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against the Chinese rule.
