(240210) -- BEIJING, Feb. 10, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Sichod Wangmo's grandson Pasang Norbu (R) talks with her great-granddaughter Yangjen Lhamo after dinner at home in Damxung County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Feb. 8, 2024. The Tibetan New Year coincides with the Chinese Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 10 this year. Two days ahead of the Tibetan New Year is the traditional "Gutu Eve" for families to have a feast of "gutu", a traditional soup dish made of flour, at home. "Gu" in Tibetan means nine, which is a lucky number. "Tu" means "pasta." Nine different fillings like wool, charcoal and chili are placed inside the dough drops, and each of these fillings has a meaning. The village of Jiagen in Damxung is exuding a cheerful and festive atmosphere during the "Gutu Eve". Like other locals, family members of Sichod Wangmo gathered at home and enjoyed the feast, looking forward to having better days in the new year. (Xinhua/Sun Ruibo)

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.
