As 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of China's Xizang Autonomous Region, CGTN's Yang Xinmeng takes viewers inside the Memorial Hall for Emancipation of One Million Serfs in Xizang. Here, the relics of Xizang's feudal past, from crushing taxes to human remains used in rituals, reveal the harsh reality once endured by the majority.

Just one floor above, the contrast is striking. From the Potala Palace to thriving schools, hospitals and vibrant neighborhoods, today's Xizang tells a compelling story of transformation and progress over the past six decades. Having visited seven times since 2017, Yang has witnessed a region where former serfs have taken on leadership roles and where prosperity has reached everyday life, a powerful testament to the achievements of the autonomous region.
