Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Tibetan villagers of Sgampo in Sichuan Province gather for a ritual that transcends time. The dance, Bodpa Sengge, or "Tibetans like lions," was created to honor soldiers who died defending their homeland against British invasions during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Passed down through generations, it remains a living expression of remembrance and identity.

Step into a tradition shaped by courage, sacrifice and community.
