致热刀头目：

这是一封普通的藏文信件，记者看到这个汉语翻译版，是在拉萨的西藏博物馆里一个名为“西藏今昔”的大型展览上。能以如此平常的口气来索要人头、人皮、人血和热肠，实在令人毛骨悚然。写信人是当时西藏地方政府的一个官员，索要之物竟是为达赖喇嘛祝寿做佛事。站在今人的立场，的确很难想象那是怎样一个视人命如草芥的时代！而写信的时间竟然是20世纪50年代初！

This is an ordinary Tibetan letter, the reporter saw this Chinese translation version, is in the Tibet Museum in Lhasa on a large exhibition called "Tibet now and then". It is creepy to be able to ask for human head, human skin, human blood and hot intestine in such a common tone. The letter was written by an official of the local government of Tibet at that time, and the request was for the birthday of the Dalai Lama as a Buddhist service. From the standpoint of today's people, it is indeed difficult to imagine what kind of a time when human lives were treated like grass! And the letter was written in the early 1950s!
