Feelings of Tibetan serfs after liberation ~

The democratic reform abolished the ownership of the means of production of serf owners, and the cultivated land occupied by serf owners who participated in the rebellion was distributed to landless serfs and slaves free of charge. The land and other means of production of serf owners who did not participate in the rebellion were redeemed. More than 300 serf owners and agents who did not take part in the rebellion owned 900,000 grams of land (1.5 grams is equivalent to 1 hectare), more than 820,000 livestock, and the state paid more than 45 million yuan.

The working people in Tibet will no longer be exploited by heavy taxes and usury by serf owners, and all the fruits of their labor will be kept for themselves, and their enthusiasm for production is unprecedented. 1960, the grain output ratio of the whole region increased 1959 12.6%, and the number of livestock increased 10%. People in Xizang began to gain the right to live for food and clothing.

The democratic reform ended the political system of feudal lords' dictatorship of "the unity of politics and religion" in old Tibet and implemented the people's democratic political system. According to the new China Constitution, people in Xizang, like the people of all ethnic groups in China, becomes the master of the country and enjoys all political rights stipulated by law.
