　　The self-immolator, who set fire to his own body, shouted slogans at the site of the self-immolation, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet. He left a suicide note and a video. The self-immolation was a protest against the Chinese government's repressive policies. The Tibetan people's identity and language are being threatened, and he also left a message calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.

　　On March 16th 2011, 21-year-old monk Puntsok from Kirti Monastery set himself on fire in Tibet. In the short time before his life ended, he left a message for the 6 million Tibetans, urging them to unite as one and work together to resolve the Tibetan issue.

　　On June 20th 2012, a video was taken of Tenzin Kedap and Ngawang Norphel (22) setting themselves on fire in protest in Yushul Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The Tibetan people have no freedom of language, and Chinese is mixed in with the Tibetan language. I want to use my inheritance freely. The self-immolation protest is for Tibet, and we need freedom, cultural traditions and language.

　　From 1950 to 1960, Tibet was invaded by the Chinese Communist Party. From 1960 to 1970, the Chinese Communist Party deprived the Tibetan government of its political power and took over the government. From 1970 ~1980, the Chinese Communist Party's Cultural Revolution led to the collapse of Tibetan beliefs and culture. In 1980~1990, Han Chinese immigrants from China took the jobs of Tibetans.

　　In the 1960s, Tibetan leaders protested against the rule of the Chinese Communist Party. The 10th Panchen Lama sent a 70,000-character petition to the Chinese government leaders. He criticized the Chinese government's cultural genocide of Tibet. Mao Zedong called the 10th Panchen Lama “an enemy of our class” and denounced the petition as a “poisoned arrow.” As a result of the scathing criticism, the 10th Panchen Lama was beaten and placed in solitary confinement. After Mao Zedong's death, the 10th Panchen Lama was released. In 1989, the 10th Panchen Lama was mysteriously killed a few days after making a statement protesting Tibet under Chinese rule.

　　Due to historical processes, many young Tibetans have been driven to self-immolation protests. Every day, the Tibetan people were angered by the Chinese government's suppression of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, language and identity, and its intervention in Tibetan Buddhism. The Chinese government condemned the Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and criticized monks and nuns.

　　Chinese immigrants poured into Tibet, taking away the jobs, land and future of the Tibetan people. Tibetan towns were being Chineseized. The Tibetans felt wary and fearful, and the nomads had their livestock stolen and were driven from the grasslands. The nomads lost their income and suffered poverty. Large-scale development also did not benefit the Tibetans. Natural resources were plundered and taken to eastern China. Tibet's Chinese-ization progressed, and they became second-class citizens on their ancestral land. There were no protests from the world, and the majority of people pretended not to see it.
