Biography

1987–2002: Early life

Alan is a native of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province, and her native language is Kham Ke, one of the Tibetan dialects.

Alan was born in Kangding to a large family; her father had ten siblings and her mother had eight. She grew up with her grandparents in nearby Danba, often referred to as "Beauty Valley". The name "Alan", which is in fact her official surname, is a self-created shortened form of a combination of the sinified Tibetan names of her parents Atu and Lantai. Her given name "Dawa Dolma" was bestowed upon her by a Buddhist monk and means "Heavenly maiden of the moon" in Tibetan. Alan's father was a local government official and her mother was a singer in the local Art Troupe.
