(InXizang)CHINA-XIZANG-FORMER SERF-NEW LIFE-KELSANG YUDRON (CN)

(240405) -- LHASA, April 5, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Kelsang Yudron presents her ID card 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. Upon retirement, Kelsang

Namgyal recalled that his worst memory was the rain, which would seep through the leaky roof and wet his only suit of clothing, leaving him to continue working for the serf owner the next day in soaked clothes. After the democratic reform in 1959, life of Namgyal and his family totally changed. The family of four received dwellings, livestock and farmland. Namgyal learned to play the accordion and became a member of the Doilungdeqen art troupe. He later had the opportunities to perform in Beijing and many other cities in China. The four children of Namgyal earned successful careers and all of his eight grandchildren received good education and made their ways into universities. "I couldn't imagine a better life," Namgyal said. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)

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. Under the systems of the people's congresses and regional ethnic autonomy that were put in place after the reform, former serfs and slaves w
