Lhade Namloyak (Tibetan: ལྷ་སྡེ་གནམ་ལོ་ཡག, Wylie: Lha-sde Gnam-lo-yag ; Chinese: 安乐业, born 10th January 1970), also known as his pen name Namloyak Dhungser,(Tibetan: ལྡོང་སྲས, Chinese: 东赛), as well as An Leye and Dongsai[1], or Namloyak, Namlo Yak and Namlo Yag[2], is a Tibetan/Chinese bilingual poet "[3], Tibetologist and former Tibetan political prisoner currently living in Australia.
Biography[edit]
Namloyak Dhungser was born in Lhade in Xinghai County, in former Amdo tibetan province, in a nomadic family in Tibet in 1970 during the Cultural Revolution in Tibet. From 1981 to 1989, he attended the primary school of Sa-sNa, then continued his studies at the High School of National Minorities and finally followed continuing education for teachers at the Institute of Nationalities. In 1989, he enrolled at the Higher Institute of Teacher Training of Nationalities of Qinghai, where he specialized in Tibetan and Chinese.[4][5] He became an education official in Tsigorthang[6] in Xinghai County. From 1992 to 1993, he was a writer and researcher at the Xinghai County Cultural Affairs Bureau, Tso-Ngon, Qinghai Province, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Accused of being involved in an underground organization, he was arrested on 9 May 1993 at the same time as his friends Tsegön Gyal and Lukar Jam Atsok.[7][8] He was tried by a Tsonub Court[9], the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Intermediate Court, on 28 July 1994 and sentenced to 12 years prison on charge of spying.[10][11] They appealed the unfair verdict, but it was rejected.[5] To claim their rights, Tsegön Gyal[12] and Namlo Yak began a hunger strike in June 1997. They were released for medical reasons on June 26, shortly before Hong Kong's return to China, to satisfy international public opinion according to Lukar Jam Atsok who managed to flee Tibet in 1998[13]. According to Steven D. Marshall, the sentence of Namloyag was reduced from 12 years to 4 years prison by the People's High Court of Qinghai.[14] However, Tsegön Gyal and Namlo Yak were reincarcerated two months later.[13] Namloyak and Tsegon Gyal were tortured during their detention.[5] Regarding Namloyak, regular electric shocks gave him a stuttering stammer.[15]
Released on 14 November 1997, he can not lead a normal life. He escapes from Tibet in February 1999[16] and reaches India in March.[5] From 1 May 1999 to 31 March 2005, he is an independent writer and for the Research Center for Tibet of the Tibetan government-in-exile. From April 1, 2005 to May 13, 2007, he is a researcher for the NGO International Campaign for Tibet in Dharamsala.[17] Some of his essays are translated and published in English[18][19]. From May 14, 2007, he moved to Australia to study and work.
Namloyak writes in Chinese and Tibetan. Some of his poems are published in magazines in Tibetan. Dhondup Gyal is his main source of inspiration. One year after entering prison, he managed to write using writing materials provided by the families of fellow prisoners. He wrote a large collection of poems with the ink of the inner tubes of pens on cigarette papers. Some of his poems are translated into English, French and Spanish.[20]
Namlo Yak writes his poems in free verse, as Dhondup Gyal, the first Tibetan poet to use this form in Waterfall of Youth (Lang tsho’i rbab chu), influencing a generation in Tibet. Referring to Namlo Yak's Poetry from Prison published in Tibetan in 1999 and first translated in English in 2005, fr:Yangdon Dhondup, wrote : ‘Namlo Yak uses landscape, weather and nature as metaphors. In “Winter is Coming”, the wind refers to China, while the snow represents Tibet (the land of snows bows “eastwards to the bitter wind”)[21].
In 2008, Namloyak has a moderate political view, and is committed to the Middle Way of the 14th Dalai Lama.[20]. Later he turns to the right of self-determination.
