| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In 1935, the Chinese central government, controlled at the time by the Nationalist Party (KMT), announced a diplomatic mission to escort the exiled Ninth Panchen Lama (Choekyi Nyima, 1883–1937) back to his monastic seat, the Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, Tibet. Zhuang Xueben (1909–1984), a twenty-six-year-old photographer, approached the head of the delegation, special emissary Chengyun, and volunteered to join. Chengyun, who had not yet recruited a photographer for the mission, welcomed Zhuang to the team. |
