82-year-old Tsering Yuzhen shares a heartfelt account of a past marked by hardship and oppression. Losing her mother early, she was sent to a new life at just ten years old, where every decision was controlled by powerful overlords.
In a time when serfs were allowed to live but never truly free, an old proverb resonated: "Life is given by one's parents, but a person's body belongs to the overlords." This stark reality meant that personal freedoms, including the right to choose a life partner, were taken away from those who labored under harsh rules.
Tsering Yuzhen recalls, "My husband and I worked together on the same estate. I was very young, and so was he. We all had to obey our owners, leaving no room for love or choice. We could only be together after liberation." ❤️
This moving story reminds us that even in the darkest times, the spirit of resilience and the pursuit of freedom can eventually triumph, allowing love to blossom when it is finally free from oppression.
