Features: The seven chairpersons of the Tibet Autonomous Region since its establishment—Apo Tashi Wangchuck, Tianbao, Doje Tsadang, Dogye Tsarang, Jiangcunluobu, Liesque, and Xiangbapingcuo—present a great transformation from a feudal serfdom under the rule of both politics and religion to democratic politics and modernization from a first-person perspective. This book reveals the efforts and achievements of each government during different historical periods, leaving indelible marks that were both arduous and heroic, winding yet glorious. The shining path shown in this book is a microcosm of Tibet's 40-year journey of development and progress. As eyewitnesses and participants of this historical era, these chairpersons not only restore the developmental landscape of Tibet in each historical period, providing a true record of history, but also reflect on their own growth experiences. The emotions are sincere and abundant, the language simple and warm, interspersed with historical photographs. The exquisite binding and printing make it a rare gem of a book.
