March 31,2021 -- Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region will keep pace with other parts of the country in completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and embarking on a new journey toward socialist modernization, said Qizhala, chairman of the regional government.

 

Qizhala made the remarks on Saturday evening in a televised speech marking the upcoming 62nd anniversary of Tibet's democratic reform.

 

On March 28, 1959, the Communist Party of China led the people in Tibet to launch the democratic reform, abolishing Tibet's feudal serfdom under theocracy.

 

In 2009, the regional legislature announced March 28 as a day to commemorate the emancipation of the one million serfs.
