The blogpost was written once Woeser arrived in Lhasa and is a continuation of Woeser's summer travels to Lhasa, through Amdo and Kham. The post below is the follow up to "Over One Year After the Earthquake, A Rushed Visit to Yushu". At this time, Woeser was also tweeting her impressions from the journey and the tweets contain some important information. Below are translations of three tweets from August 3, 2011.

One of the locals told me that the officials, from high to low, are selling whatever there is in Kardze that can be sold: the development rights for the Zachu River have already been sold to the Huaneng [Power] Company.
