BEIJING, March 27 (Xinhua) -- On March 28 Wholesale Nike Shoes , 1959, about 1 million Tibetans broke the chains of serfdom in a historic democratic reform. Fifty-seven years on, the autonomous region once beset by inequality and oppression has witnessed encouragingly fast economic growth and better-than-ever standards of living.
As a documentary that China Central Television (CCTV) aired over the weekend showed, serfs in Tibet were belittled, discriminated against Cheap Nike Shoes Free Shipping , and treated no better than livestock.

The reform, led by the Communist Party of China, ushered in a new era marked by brightness, progress and prosperity. The potential of former serfs, who were given land and livestock after the reform, was thoroughly unleashed Cheap Nike Shoes Online , and change swept through the land.
Over the past 57 years, especially during the 30 plus years of reform and opening up, the people of Tibet Cheap Nike Shoes For Sale , regardless of their ethnic background, have become increasingly aware of the significant role the 1959 reform has played in the history of Tibet.

Only by remembering the ruthlessness of serfdom and the damage it did over centuries to the vast majority of Tibetans could the historic contribution of the 1959 reform be properly acknowledged.
Only by drawing lessons from history can Tibet continue on the right path and its people work toward a brighter future.
