She says she enjoys the computer classes because she can email her sister, who is studying in Beijing. The Lhoba people make up the smallest ethnic group in China. In 1959, the Lhoba people were still living in primitive communes with low levels of production. Currently they are living a more modern life. [Photo/Xinhua]
