Meet Tenzin Lhamo, a 10-year-old from Gyangze County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, whose childhood dream of strutting down a catwalk just got a magical twist. 🌟 Instead of glossy fashion capitals, her "runway" unfolded amid golden highland barley fields near her home—a moment blending tradition and ambition.
When Dreams Meet Reality 🎉
Tenzin once thought modeling was "only for people in big cities." But a community-led initiative brought local designers and photographers to her village, creating a photoshoot celebrating Tibetan textiles and landscapes. "I felt like a star walking through the barley," she giggled, her traditional chuba robe swaying in the mountain breeze.

The project aims to empower rural youth by connecting their aspirations with cultural pride. "We want kids here to see their heritage as a superpower," said organizer Dorje Tashi. For Tenzin, it’s sparked new confidence: "Now I know my dreams aren’t too big—they’re just beginning!"
