Growing up on top of the world: A nomadic family's summer on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau

Joyce Siu,Ryan ChangandAndersen Xia

Duojie Caidan, a 13-year-old Tibetan boy, lives among mountains in Qinghai, China. Like generations before them, his family are nomadic herders. Duojie and his siblings spend their school holidays on a pasture herding yaks. Their days start at 6am, helping to milk the yaks, and then herding them, which the children have a lot of fun doing. But Duojie has his own dreams and doesn't envision himself to be a herdsman when he grows up.
