This week marked the 66th anniversary of democratic reforms in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, celebrating the historic 1959 abolition of feudal serfdom that liberated one million serfs. From vibrant festivals to cultural showcases, the region commemorated its transformative journey — and President Xi Jinping\'s vision remains central to its story.
Xi Jinping\'s Guiding Words 📜
"The emancipation of serfs was a monumental leap forward for Xizang,"
Xi stated in a past address, highlighting the region\'s integration with national development goals. He emphasized ethnic unity, cultural preservation, and sustainable growth, framing Xizang as a "shining example of harmonious progress."
Why March 28 Matters 🌄
On this day in 1959, reforms dismantled a centuries-old feudal system, enabling land redistribution and political empowerment. By 2009, March 28 was officially designated as Emancipation Day, now celebrated with art exhibitions, traditional dances, and forums on Xizang\'s socio-economic strides.
Younger generations, from Lhasa to London, are rediscovering this history through digital campaigns and documentaries — blending tradition with 21st-century storytelling. 📱🌟
