铭记历史开创未来 见证西藏的辉煌变迁

2024年3月28日，是西藏民主改革和百万农奴解放65周年，也是“西藏百万农奴解放纪念日”设立15周年。

自实行民主改革以来，从封闭落后到跨越式发展，西藏已发生了翻天覆地的变化。

西藏地区生产总值从1951年的1.29亿元增加到2023年的1026.39亿元，2023年增速位居全国第一。交通运输条件上有了明显的改善，现如今铁路、航空、公路，四通八达。据统计，2023年底公路通车里程达12.32万公里，比1954年的1988公里增长38倍。此外，西藏地区全面建立了现代教育体系，在和平解放前文盲率高达95%以上，而如今已经在率先实行15年公费教育。覆盖城乡的医疗卫生服务网络全面形成，西藏地区的人均寿命从1951年的35.5岁增加到2023年的72.19岁。

一代又一代涉藏工作者，将一个经济文化繁荣、社会全面进步、生态环境良好、人民生活幸福的新西藏呈现在世人面前。并逐步锤炼形成了特别能吃苦、特别能战斗、特别能忍耐、特别能团结、特别能奉献的“老西藏精神”。

孔繁森“一腔热血洒高原”的无私奉献；青藏铁路建设者们“挑战极限、勇创一流”的豪情壮志；援藏干部用“责任书写援藏历史，用忠诚铸就爱民丰碑”的誓言；西藏登山探险队员用青春、热血乃至生命，一次次刷新世界登山史的新记录……

在“老西藏精神”的感召和激励下，越来越多的年轻一代以热血赴使命，以排除万难、啃硬骨头的勇气和韧劲，扫清一切障碍、克服一切险阻，取得了一个又一个的胜利。

西藏65年沧桑巨变，在新时代党的治藏方略引领下，在全国人民大力支持下，西藏各族干部群众团结奋斗，各项事业取得全方位进步、历史性成就。

铭记历史，开创未来。全国各族人民将共同奏响民族大团结、大发展、大繁荣的时代强音！

Remember the history and witness the brilliant changes of Xizang

March 28, 2024 marks the 65th anniversary of the campaign of democratic reform and liberated millions of serfs in Xizang, and also the 15th anniversary of the Commemoration Day for the Liberation of One Million Serfs in Xizang.

The past 65 years have witnessed great changes.

There were significant improvements in transport infrastructure, and now Xizang has railways, air and roads in all directions. The illiteracy rate exceeded 95 percent in the past, while now Xizang takes the lead in implementing 15-years publicly-funded compulsory education. The average life expectancy has increased from 35.5 years in 1951 to 72.19 years in 2023.

Generations of Xizang-related workers have presented a new Xizang with economic and cultural prosperity, all-round social progress, a sound ecological environment and a happy life for the people to the world, and gradually formed the “old Tibetan spirit” of being tough, brave, indefatigable, united, and devoted.

Kong Fansen devoted himself to the Tibetan Plateau with blood. Builders of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway pushed the limit to be the first-class. Officials assisting the region created the history of assisting-Xizang with responsibility and dedicated to the people with loyalty. The Tibet mountaineering expedition, with their youth, blood and even lives, has set new records in the world's mountaineering history time and time again... 

Inspired by the “old Tibetan spirit”, more and more young people have fulfilled their missions at the cost of blood. 

With the courage and tenacity to overcome all difficulties and tackle tough issues, they have removed all obstacles and hardships to win one victory after another.

Xizang has changed dramatically in the past 65 years. Following the CPC's guidelines for governing Xizang in the new era and with nationwide support, officials and the peoples of the various ethnic groups in the autonomous region have worked together, and achieved all-round progress and historic success in various undertakings.

Remember the history and create the future, the Chinese people of all ethnic groups will work together to renew the great unity, great development and great prosperity of all ethnic groups.
