    (240405) -- LHASA, April 5, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Kelsang Yudron (C) chats with her friends at a tea house in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, April 3, 2024. Kelsang Yudron was born in 1947 in what is now Lhunzhub County, located in Lhasa City. Her family of eight lived in a cramped mud house of around 30 square meters. With no decent furniture, they slept on a humble bed made of mud bricks and covered with thick hays and blankets. They toiled from dawn till midnight, working in the fields and tending to livestock for their feudal lords. Hunger and discomfort plagued them at night. Hard labor and poor nutrition often led to illness for many serfs. In 1959, the democratic reform in Xizang liberated around one million serfs, including Kelsang Yudron's family. In 1960, she seized the opportunity to study nursing in Xianyang, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. Having completed her education in six years, she returned to her hometown afterward and dedicated over three decades to saving lives. Upo

Sichod Wangmo, 85, is a resident of Jiagen Village in Damxung County of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. In old Xizang, Sichod Wangmo was a serf. Her mother passed away when she was very young. Young Sichod Wangmo made a living with her grandma by pasturing for a serf owner. They didn't have their own cattle and sheep, but they still needed to pay various taxes which were too high for them to afford. In March 1959, people in Xizang launched the democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom. Sichod Wangmo felt her life was turning on a new page since she was allocated five yaks by the government.
