Video: Jackie in Yushu with translation



Just to add a note of interest. Yushu is at an elevation of 4200m and one of the difficulties (besides the extreme cold) hampering rescue work are the large numbers of rescuers suffering from altitude sickness. The symptoms of altitude sickness include shortness of breath and an elevated pulse. That Jackie has enough breath to sing at this elevation is nothing short of incredible.
