The Tibetan Christians of Rural China I S2, EP79

I am in a very small and unique village of Yunnan Province called “Cizhong“. It is one of the very few places where Tibetans are actually Christians and not Buddhists. This has an old an special history that dates back to Qing Dynasty when the French sent Christian missionaries to Yunnan to convert the Tibetans to Christianity. Back then, they weren't successful at all, but then the small pox pandemic came and only the Christians got access to the vaccines provided by the French missionaries. Eventually, this turned quite some Buddhists into Christians that remain there until today.
