(231022) -- QAMDO, Oct. 22, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Oct. 20, 2023 shows salt fields in Naxi Ethnic Township of Markam County in the city of Qamdo, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. Markam County is known as a place with rich salt resources since ancient China. Salt fields are mainly built on cliff slopes and riversides of the Lancang River. Local people in Naxi evaporate brine in the sun with an ancestral technique since Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). With a large amount of yearly output of salt products, salt-production has become a main income for local people. Furthermore, the salt fields here and local folk customs also become a unique attraction to visitors. (Xinhua/Sun Fei)

Born in 1944 in Bainang County of Xigaze City, Phutsering was raised in a former serf family. A humble shack, situated near the manor where his mother toiled as a serf, served as his childhood home. Meanwhile, his father, employed at a separate manor, struggled to make ends meet by farming and crafting during lean months, barely generating sufficient income to cover the rent and taxes for their dwelling and fields. At the age of thirteen, he greeted a big change in his life, when he entered a primary school. After the democratic reform in Xizang in 1959, Phutsering got more opportunities to study."The chance to learn was a true gift, significantly expanding my perspective," said Phutsering. "As a Tibetan proverb says, knowledge is more valuable than pearls and agates," he said. Upon his graduation in 1965, he joined the publicity

Lhorong County, with an average elevation of about 3,700 meters, was once an important stop along the ancient Tea Horse Road and a significant channel for Tibetan-Han exchanges. Locals in Xobando Town injected elements of Tibetan folk dances into the Han lion dance introduced to the town in early years, and created a new performing art -- Xobando lion dance. Tengpa Anye, 69, who began to learn lion dance from his father at 13, is an inheritor of Xobando lion dance art. In the past, Tengpa had to make lion dance props by himself because the ready-made ones were unaffordable.
