Why Did Democratic Reform Take Place in Tibet in 1959?
Change the Quality of Ideas, Improve Overall Development
Dan Zengzhu, Deputy Secretary-General of the Tibet Autonomous Region Government, said that since the democratic reform, the biggest and most fundamental change in the snowy plateau has been the change of people’s perspective, the change of people’s ideas and the improvement of their quality compared with the achievements of material life. It laid the most solid foundation for the modernization of Tibet.
Wen Weibing is a lawyer of a law firm in Beijing. In 2014, he signed up for the volunteer service of “Tibet Without Lawyers” and was sent to Zhacao County, Shannan City. “The legal awareness of the Tibetan people is constantly improving.” Wen Weibing said that farmers and herdsmen are no longer fighting to make trouble, but seek counsel and constructive debate. After the expiration of the two-year service, he proposed to the General Office to open a branch in Lhasa and was approved. In addition, the awareness of the masses in Tibet has grown. Gelong, a 48-year-old villager from Yuba Village, Jiazhulin Town, Gongga County, Shannan City, borrowed 320,000 yuan from the bank through the farmer’s joint guarantee. In the past few years, the family has had three cars and nearly 2 million yuan in fixed assets. In the remote back town of Medog County, with the help of the bank’s “financial husband” service, the people are equally skilled in the use of POS machines.
From the serfs who have no life and no life guarantees in the past to the natural people in the traditional farming society, the natural people who drive cattle and the shepherds – today’s modern citizens now possess a legal consciousness, business consciousness and scientific consciousness, the “people” in the snowy plateau have experienced a profound inner and outer changes. At present, Tibet not only has its own master’s and doctoral degrees, but also has a group of experts and scholars who are well-known throughout the country. Since the establishment of the autonomous region, nearly 30 research institutes have been created, with more than 52,000 professional and technical personnel, and a number of academic achievements, as well as generating a reputation in the world.

Tibet: Young Communist League Reaches 160,000 Members with 6.700 Organisations! (2012)
The youth of all ethnic groups in the region gathered around the bright Red Banner, contributed youth and wisdom to the comprehensive construction of a well-off society, swayed through passion and sweat, created brilliant achievements, and wrote a magnificent song of youth. During the period of Peaceful Liberation and Democratic Reform in Tibet, the majority of young people actively participated in Democratic Reform, Socialist Transformation and Socialist Construction, and formed a group of “Youth Commando Teams”, which has set off the building of a society that is advanced, progressive, and not backward in any way. The labour boom has triggered the economic boom throughout the region. Under the spring breeze of Reform and Opening-up, and in the journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the vast majority of young people in our region hold high the Great Red Banner of Patriotism and Socialism, keep up with the pace of the times, constantly emancipate the mind, always forge ahead with the Motherland, and develop politics, economics and culture of Tibet. The people worked hard and made brilliant achievements in maintaining stability, developing the economy, and promoting social harmony. They became the new force and Commando Team for building a ‘new’ Socialist Tibet.
It is understood that the regiments at all levels in the district actively fulfilled the responsibility of “leading the whole team” and led the development of the Young Pioneers in our district. There are more than 260,000 young pioneers in the district, and more than 1,300 young pioneers have organized and established relatively complete Youth Work System.
