(240313) -- LHASA, March 13, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Villagers of the Donggar community plant saplings in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 12, 2024. In Doilungdeqen District of Lhasa, more than 90 villagers of the Donggar community gathered on Xiga Mountain Tuesday to earth up saplings. They planned to plant about 2,000 saplings on this day. Xiga Mountain, which once was barren with rocks, has transformed its appearance since a proposal by Rigzin, a group leader of the Donggar community, in 2013 to utilize part of the collective income for tree-planting. From the year of 2013 to 2020, a total of 28.54 million yuan (about 3.97 million U.S. dollars) was invested, greening 800 mu (about 53.33 hectares) of the mountain land. Thanks to related policies rolled out by local government, villagers of the group planted an area of 1,200 mu (about 80 hectares) with trees in 2021. In 2022, Rigzin's group was granted a loan of 24 million yuan (about 3.34 million U.S. dollars) to join a greening pr

                    (240402) -- LHASA, April 2, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Yeshe Samdrup checks his commemorative medal awarded to Communist Party of China members after 50 years of Party membership in Doilungdeqen District in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 13, 2024. 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 t
