Upon receiving the tragic news of the Yushu earthquake, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine, while closely monitoring the disaster situation faced by the families of its employees in Yushu, immediately launched emergency relief efforts. In the afternoon of the 14th, supplies—including tents, blankets, overcoats, first-aid medicines for external injuries, and medications for common and frequently occurring illnesses—began to be gradually assembled. It was also decided to dispatch a team of highly skilled graduates from Tibetan medicine programs to the disaster zone to provide whatever medical assistance they could.
I heard that a rescue team is being organized, and all the employees are eager to sign up. During the Wenchuan earthquake, our medicines reached the affected area at the very first moment—but unfortunately, the plan to send out small teams to provide on-site relief didn’t come to fruition. This time, we’re determined to take our medicines right away to the disaster zone and administer them to the injured as soon as possible. With our experience and heartfelt care, we hope to ease their pain—just a little bit more, and then a little bit more still.
We should buy some tsampa and butter—right now, food is probably what’s most urgently needed. We’d also better bring along some more water... Everyone is thinking about offering as much help as possible. The small rescue team is on high alert; the situation came on suddenly, and the tent factory doesn’t have much in stock either. On one hand, preparations for supplies are in full swing; on the other, the rescue team itself is facing “difficult” trade-offs. Parking spaces are limited, yet no one can refuse the eager volunteers who’ve stepped forward to join the effort.
The shy ones quietly swallowed their eagerness to go and entrusted their heartfelt wishes to their teammates; yet there were also those who were “persistent”—driven by a deep sense of empathy and compassion. Even though their strength was small, they insisted on being present at the scene to offer help, starting from preparing supplies and following closely behind the leaders, pleading earnestly in every possible way. Right up until the moment of departure on the 15th, they still hadn’t given up their efforts. Moved by this simple and genuine goodness, the leader finally “interceded” on their behalf, persuading everyone to approve their request. As a result, the all-male team of six was supplemented by two petite Tibetan girls.
Thus, on the 15th, Laguo Caiyang, Luosong Nima, Pingcuo Dujie, Cibai, Ciyang, Zhang Cheng, Gao Ming, and Pengcuo—eight members of the Qizheng Tibetan Medicine Rescue Team, predominantly composed of those born in the 1980s—set off overnight toward Yushu. The heartbeat of the disaster-stricken area will remain closely connected with ours.
May we offer prayers for all beings affected by the disaster, and may the mighty stream of blessings, together with the resilient people of the disaster-stricken region, jointly uphold a peaceful and tranquil haven!
