1:17:02
So they gave us something
to want: opium. We craved opium.
1:17:07
They tried to use it
to destroy us, the imperialists.
1:17:11
We are here to rescue you
from imperialists,
or they'll do the same to you.
1:17:28
You cannot imagine,
sitting here,
1:17:31
where I came from.
1:17:34
The floods,
the famines,
1:17:38
were so bad.
1:17:40
China was fragmented.
1:17:43
Society was crumbling.
1:17:46
There was a day
before the war...
1:17:49
when I came upon a man
with a dead baby.
1:17:54
He was gonna cook it.
1:17:57
He shouted, "It died.
I did not kill it. It died."
1:18:02
That is what it was like
in China before Chairman Mao.
1:18:11
We believe that the time has come
for you to go to lndia.
1:18:15
India is our friend.
You'll be safe there.
1:18:20
The Americans will help us, Holiness.
You've read their letter.
1:18:23
That letter's unsigned.
It is not a real promise.
1:18:28
China is close.
America is far away.
1:18:32
Many Tibetans could die,
and China would still be close.
1:18:36
If you stay in Tibet,
1:18:39
we cannot guarantee
your safety, Holiness.
1:18:43
If you flee, Holiness,
you might never be able to return.
1:18:49
We've managed the Chinese
for many years.
1:18:51
These are not the Chinese we know,
Holiness. These are Communists.
1:18:56
The Fifth Dalai Lama joined
an alliance with the Chinese.
