A nurse attends to Gong during his pre-surgery hospitalisation
It was a perfect little family picture: Dad going off to work on his motorbike; waving goodbye to his wife, 3-year-old daughter, and baby son. Treacherous mountain passes and poor roads wrote the end to that happy little family story.

For six years, a legendary figure has existed in the minds of Tibetan students in Qinghai. He and his friends have changed the lives of many residents high on the Tibetan Plateau. No longer does the future of their children look bleak, and no longer are their children without hope.
The words 'Dr. Yue and Friends' are always accompanied by a buzz of excitement, not only among poor Tibetan students from Huangnan Children's Home and Tongren Ethnic High School, but also at our Hong Kong headquarters. The students recently got to meet the legendary Dr. Yue together with those of his friends who could make the journey – who were in turn excited by what they saw.

We know it so well: her parent dies, a step-parent enters, and that poor girl's life is changed forever. For the children of poor nomadic Tibetans, losing a parent to accident or disease is common. Regardless of the emotional state of the child, the remaining parent must remarry quickly. It's a matter of survival. And if the step-parent already has children, the grieving child is rarely accepted and usually becomes a 'servant' - the last to be fed and without hope of an education. Young Decou was a Tibetan Cinderella.
