The 60th anniversary celebration of Tibet's peaceful liberation was held in Potala Palace Square in Lhasa on June 5438, 2009. Tens of thousands of citizens of all ethnic groups in Lhasa showed the world a harmonious, inclusive and prosperous new Tibet with full enthusiasm and cordial smiles. Tsering Yang is always a Tibetan girl. She is glad to hold this meeting.
Tsering Yang Zong said, "The flowers and columns in the square (Potala Palace) are very beautiful. I have seen it before, and I will see it again. This time (celebrating the 60th anniversary of peaceful liberation), our family will also buy Gexi (a kind of food eaten during festivals) and make butter tea, just like we celebrated the Tibetan calendar year and Sutton Festival (a traditional Tibetan festival). "
Tsering Yang Zong's joy is sincere, because great changes have taken place in Tibet in the past 60 years. In 20 10, the GDP of Tibet reached more than 50.7 billion yuan, which was more than 83 times that of 1959 at comparable prices. Life expectancy has increased from 35.5 years before peaceful liberation to 67 years; The illiteracy rate dropped from 95% before peaceful liberation to 1.2%. These great advances are inseparable from the harmonious coexistence and joint efforts of the people of all ethnic groups in Tibet.
Let Tibetans and citizens of other ethnic groups in Tibet directly participate in the management of state affairs and enjoy full political autonomy, which is the prerequisite for realizing national unity and progress. At present, among the provincial leading cadres in Xizang Autonomous Region, Tibetans and other ethnic minority cadres account for 70%; Tibetans and other ethnic minorities account for more than 86% of the main leaders at the county and township levels.
Didan, a 34-year-old Tibetan cadre, has a profound understanding of national unity. Cedan is the deputy magistrate of Saga County in Shigatse region. In the early 1990s, after finishing primary school, he went to Tibetan classes in the mainland to start junior high school courses. Ci Dan said that the most difficult thing in studying in the mainland is the problems caused by different language communication and living habits when I first came to study and live in a Tibetan class. It was the meticulous care and love given by teachers and classmates that made him spend that time.
Ci Dan said: "We usually communicate in Chinese. At that time, the foundation was not very good, but in our specific life, there were teachers and classmates concerned. We never realized our understanding and never became familiar with it. It can be said that when we finally graduated, we forged feelings that no one wanted to leave. "
Zidan's personal experience made him deeply impressed by the equal treatment and harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups. After returning to Tibet, Ci Dan became a national public official. During his work in 10, he often worked with local Han cadres and Tibetan aid cadres. Ci Dan said that he personally saw Han cadres set an example and have friendly exchanges with the Tibetan people.
