    (240502) -- URUMQI, May 2, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Airkir Duliki (1st L, back) and her family members sing at home at Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, March 23, 2024. Airkir Duliki, the 27-year-old ethnic Tajik train conductor, was born and raised amidst the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in a village of Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County on the Pamir Plateau, where railways were not common for residents in the past. Airkir's initial experience with train travel occurred when she journeyed to Urumqi for university in Xinjiang. Accompanied by her father, she traversed over 300 kilometers of mountainous terrain from their village to reach the nearest Kashgar train station. Inspired by the first train journey, Airkir pursued a career in the railway sector after graduating from university in 2019. Since then, she has served as a train attendant on routes, linking Kashgar of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Chengdu of southwest China'

Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school. Liang and many other women in the village received little education and could neither read nor speak Mandarin, a major impediment that isolated them from the outside world. From March 2020, local authorities initiated a training program in Wuying Village to teach ethnic women Mandarin, in a bid to remove language barriers between them and people beyond the village, while improving their communication and vocational skills.

                  (240403) -- LHASA, April 3, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Lozang Gonpo and his wife Tsering Palmo flip through old photos in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 27, 2024. Lozang Gonpo was born in 1949. His childhood memories are fraught with tales of poverty, scarcity, and hardship. Hailing from a family of shoemakers, Lozang Gonpo's upbringing was characterized by early mornings spent learning the craft alongside his parents and grandparents. "In those days, our humble abode, barely 30 square meters, served as shelter for our family of seven," he recalls. "With four children in the house, we shared a single bed and just one blanket, while clothes were washed and worn tirelessly." The burden of a grain tax, amounting to 70 kilograms per person annually, loomed heavily over their heads. "If we had grain, we paid with grain; if not, we resorted to selling shoes to meet our obligations," Lozang Gonpo explains. Following the democratic reform in Xizang in 1959, Lozang Gonpo was finally able to st

                    (240402) -- LHASA, April 2, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken in 2023 shows Yeshe Samdrup posing for a photo with his family members during the Tibetan New Year in Doilungdeqen District in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Yeshe Samdrup was born in 1936. When he recalls his childhood memories, he remembers the experience as he collected the dry dung fuel for the serf owner and got only a little bit of food as payment. It was almost impossible to have meat as food at that time. "As the serf owner throw some bones, we have to fight with dogs for the marrow inside the bones," according to Yeshe, "we work as men at daytime and guard the house as dogs at nighttime." In March 1959, people in Xizang launched the democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom. This changed Yeshe's life from living like a "talking animal" to being a real human. Thanks to the democratic reform, a total of two hectares of land, together with the house, cattle and sheep, were assigned to Yeshe's family. T

                      (240401) -- LHASA, April 1, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Padma (4th L) poses for a photo with his family at his residence in Shannan, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 27, 2024. Padma was born into a herdsman family in 1942 in Xainza County in Nagqu City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. During his childhood, his family was obliged to herd over 1,000 sheep for aristocrats, only receiving meager sustenance in return. In March 1959, people in Xizang launched the democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom. This pivotal moment allowed Padma to pursue a better life for himself and his community. Padma established a new settlement with his companions by the Garco Lake in the 1970s, and was awarded the title of "national model worker" in 1989. Padma now resides in the comfort of a two-story dwelling at the relocation site in Shannan City. (Xinhua/Jiang Fan)
