Videos on the unique Tibetan culture were played.

With the explanation of the Tibetologist, Norbu Wangdan, the documentary of Tibetan oral epic "King Gesser" left deep impression on the minds of the students.

Maryland University student said, "I think the video is really awesome. I got to actually see the culture instead of just hear about it, and also learn about all that the Chinese government is doing trying to protect the culture. So I think it's really interesting, and I like to look it more and learn a lot more about its culture."
