He promptly contacted a Ngari herdsman name Lo Wu, who had worked with him in the past and who was a member of a love commune which numbered eighteen wives and forty-three husbands. Lo Wu agreed to introduce me to all the members of his commune, and to assist me in every way possible as I attempted to gather the data I sought.My next step was to learn everything I could about the Ngari herdsmen's culture and social mores, so that when I finally did arrive in Tibet I'd be able to meet my subjects on what was more or less their own level.
