挺藏会会长段荆棘：当我们学会帮助别人的时候，我们才能够救自己 2026年3月1日于美国首都华盛顿DC
Tashi Delek Trimalo, everyone. My name is Ginger, and I am here today on behalf of Chinese Youth Stand for Tibet.
Today is the third time I speak on March 10th. Our initiative has encouraged more and more Chinese people to join this movement. Today I want to share something about one of us: my friend, Tara Zhang Yadi, a prominent Chinese international student who supports Tibet. She was arrested last summer upon her return to China. This was devastating news for both our Chinese and Tibetan friends. She is only 22, and she just graduated from college. I believe she is probably the first Han Chinese to be arrested for supporting Tibet. She was able to travel inside Tibet, where she saw the harsh reality: Tibetan children are losing their mother tongue, and Tibetan is disappearing from the streets. She was so sad about the situation in Tibet. She worked hard on her Tibetan, hoping that through her writing and advocacy, she could build understanding and break down bias between Han Chinese and Tibetans. She is a bridge-builder, a peacemaker, and a champion of reconciliation between the Han and Tibetan peoples. Zhang Yadi deserves recognition for promoting ethnic unity, not arrest. We strongly condemn this action and call on the Chinese government to release her immediately. Free Tara!!
我想介绍我一位出色的中国留学生张雅笛同学，编辑。去年夏天，她回国探亲的时候被捕了，她只有22岁，刚刚大学毕业，我想她可能是第一个因为支持藏人权益而被捕的汉人。她一直在学习藏语，曾经在藏地旅游时亲眼看到藏族的孩子们正在失去说母语的自由和能力，藏文正一点点从街头消失。她常常因为藏人的处境难过到哭泣。她努力学习藏语文，用写作和行动，希望让更多汉人真正了解藏人，消除误解和偏见。在我眼里，她应该拿的是「民族团结进步奖」，而不是面对「煽动分裂国家」的罪名。
When we heard of her arrest, we were full of fear— but this only made our resolve stronger. We now understand that what we are doing is exactly what the CCP fears the most, which means our advocacy is working. We believe that the only way to make real change is to change minds in the Chinese‑speaking world.
In Chinese, we have a saying: 「解铃还需系铃人」。 The CCP created the ethnic tensions between Han Chinese and Tibetans; as the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it — it is up to the Chinese people to fix what the Party has broken. In the past, Tibet received significant international support — but that is not enough. We need your help to encourage more Chinese people to stand with Tibetans. As Chinese Youth, we have a historical responsibility to Tibet’s future.
得知她被捕的消息，我们都很害怕，但这种恐惧反而让我们的决心更坚定。 我们明白：我们在做的倡导正在起作用，这正是中共最害怕的事情：影响华人对西藏问题的看法。是谁系上的铃，就应该由谁来解开；是我们！要亲手修复被中共破坏的一切。过去，西藏得到了很多国际社会的声援，但这还还不够。我们需要更多的中国人站在藏人一边。作为年轻一代，我们对未来负有历史责任。我常常对身边的中国朋友说：当我们学会帮助别人的时候，我们才能够救自己。
We are a group of young people who speak Chinese and use peaceful methods to build people-to-people connections between Han Chinese and Tibetans and to realize our vision of peace. Yet the Chinese government accuses us of “inciting separatism.” This shows that the Chinese Communist Party cannot represent either Tibetans or Han Chinese. It reveals Beijing’s real position on Tibet: they do not want real understanding between Tibetans and Han Chinese, and they do not want a real solution to the Tibetan issue.
我们是一群说华语的青年，正在用非暴力的方式推动藏汉两族的民间交流，实现我们的和平理想。但是，共产党却用说我们是分裂分子，要逮捕我们。这说明，中国共产党既不能代表藏族，也不能代表汉族。这也暴露了北京在西藏问题上的真实立场：他们既不希望汉藏人民真正相互理解，也不希望西藏问题真正得到解决： 他们不希望达赖喇嘛尊者有一天回到拉萨。
Here, I want to speak to my Tibetan brothers and sisters. You have powerful spiritual strength and amazing organizing ability. You are the older generation of exiles; you can help us, the Chinese, learn how to organize protests, stand together, and build stronger exile communities.
中国共产党正在以我们的名义压迫少数民族，作为汉人，我有责任站出来说一句：这一切，我不同意！我们反对一切形式的民族压迫和强迫同化。当我站在这里发声的时候，我不仅仅是在「帮助别人」，我也是在为汉人正名。 当我们和藏人肩并肩站在一起的时候，我们是在为共同的未来而战。
Tibet cannot be free without a free China, and China cannot be free without resolving the Tibet issue. This flag is a replica of one used by a Tibetan student from Minzu University in Beijing during the 1989 Tiananmen democracy movement. It bears the words “Tibet, Human Rights, Democracy, Freedom” in both Tibetan and Chinese. We hope this flag can become a symbol linking Tibet to China’s freedom and democracy. We also hope Tara can serve as a symbol of the new generation of Chinese people who support all minorities and unite us!
When I stand here, I am not only helping others; I am also reclaiming the true image of the Han people. 为汉人正名， When we stand shoulder to shoulder with our Tibetan brothers and sisters, we are fighting for our shared future. Let’s walk together to Lhasa！ Let us unite. Let us demand justice. We will stand with you! Let us call for a Free Tibet — and a Free China.
Free Tibet !!
Free China !!
