Imagine a time when your destiny was controlled by an oppressive system. In Old Xizang, Phalha Manor stood as a stark symbol of feudal rule where generations of serfs endured hardship and uncertainty.
Phurbu Tsering, a guide at the manor, shares memories of his mother's painful struggles under feudal oppression. His personal account reminds us of a past filled with limitations and sorrow, until the democratic reform of 1959 sparked a dramatic change.
That historic reform granted serfs long-denied political, economic, and social rights, ushering in a new era where these once-oppressed individuals began to shape their own futures. Today, their descendants are the masters of their own destiny, a powerful testament to resilience and the human spirit. ✨
This inspiring transformation resonates strongly with today's generation—especially young people eager for stories of empowerment and progress. It illustrates how even the harshest pasts can evolve into legacies of hope and self-determination, reminding us that change is always possible.
