There were 1,500 British troops carrying British rifles, of which 1,000 were hired Gurkhas. The Gurkhas were not as tall as the British, but they were agile and able to endure hardships, which satisfied the British. This army began to invade China's Tibet in November 1903. The central Qing government that administered Tibet was in its twilight years and was unable to send troops to Tibet to stop the invading British army. As a result, the British army invaded from the Yadong Port on the border of Tibet to Pali Dzong, and then to Gulu, a valley in Tibet. This is March 23, 1904. There is a row of stone walls spanning three kilometers in the Gulu Valley. The walls are about 1.2 Meters high and about 40 to 50 centimeters thick. They are all made of stones. Behind the wall are hundreds of black cow-hair tents, large and small. These are the gathering points for the manor troops sent from each manor in Tibet, referred to as the Tibetan Army.

A young woman dressed like an Indian woman, carrying a wicker basket on her back, was walking on a small ridge in the field. The basket was filled with grass. The woman looked like an Indian, and she also looked like a person from Ali in Tibet. She can speak Indian and Tibetan. Behind her was a little spotted dog that looked about two years old. It had ears as strong as a hunting dog and short body hair, but it was by no means a Tibetan mastiff type dog with long hair, a big head and a big body. The dog is very smart. People in the town like this dog and call it "Prophet". Last year, the family's cows were killed by bandits in the wild. The little flower dog kept barking, biting the hem of the male owner's robe, and took the male owner to the scene where the bandits had killed the cows. Of course, the case was not solved, but the man knew what was going on. A breeze blew, and the little flower dog sniffed it and suddenly barked "woof". He bit the hem of the young woman's skirt and refused to let her go, so the young woman had to stop.
