Sitting in her spacious and bright living room, 85-year-old Sichod Wangmo, a resident in Damxung County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, can not feel more content and happier when her loved ones filled her cup with barley wine and gave her hada (a traditional Tibetan silk scarf that symbolizes purity and auspiciousness) one by one, wishing her all the best. Saturday marked the Tibetan New Year, which coincided with the Chinese Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival this year, the most important festival in China for reunions of family members. In Xizang, there is no exception. Days before the Tibetan New Year, Soinam Nordar, Sichod Wangmo's seventh son, has been preparing food, candies and butter sculptures, welcoming his other ten brothers and sisters home with each of their families.

    (240609) -- LHASA, June 9, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A drone photo taken on June 8, 2024 shows a black-necked crane searching for food at a wetland in Xainza County of Nagqu City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. The black-necked crane, a species under first-class state protection in China, mainly inhabits plateau meadows and marshes at an altitude of 2,500 to 5,000 meters. Every year around the time of June, pairs of black-necked cranes migrate to Xainza County to build nests and hatch eggs on grass piers surrounded by water. Black-necked cranes usually lay one or two eggs in every nest, and the incubation period is about 30 days. In recent years, Xizang has continuously strengthened the protection of the habitat of black-necked cranes, and their living environment has been effectively improved. The dotted wetlands in Xainza County have attracted a large number of black-necked cranes to breed their offspring. (Xinhua/Jiang Fan)

                (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

Born in 1944, Drakpa Wangden lives now in Doilungdeqen District of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Before the democratic reform, Drakpa Wangden and his family were serfs, working on manors affiliated with two monasteries in present-day Lhasa. For his family, each spring meant borrowing seeds from their masters, however, they could collect nothing during the autumn harvest. At that time, the sustenance of Drakpa Wangden's family of nine was a meager bowl of tsampa, a traditional Tibetan staple made from barley flour, no larger than the palm of a child's hand. In March 1959, people in Xizang launched a democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom and Drakpa Wangden's family was freed along with about a million serfs.

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. Now, Sichod Wangmo's family has grown into a big one with four generations of over 100 members. This year, Sichod Wangmo's family members came together for a reunio
