China News Agency, Gannan, August 1 (Reporter Li Xuefeng) "I am also a herder’s child, and I understand the inconveniences of nomadic life in the past. Today we rely on good policies and our hard-working hands to create a happy life. We must know how to cherish and be grateful. More importantly, we must lead our neighbors and villagers to prosper together, and integrate the revitalization of the countryside with their own happy life."

　　Recently, Panchen Erdeni Choekjeb, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and chairman of the Tibet branch of the Chinese Buddhist Association, went to Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province to investigate and investigate, and inspected ecological civilization and well-off in Gaxiu Village, Luqu County During the construction of the village, he walked into the herdsmen's homes and asked them about their lives.

　　Gaxiu Village is a pure animal husbandry village on the plateau dominated by Tibetan villagers, with an average elevation of 3,000 meters.

In the 1960s, there were only more than 60 households in the village. Herdsmen lived in tents and lived a nomadic life without a permanent home.

In recent years, Gaxiu Village has built a rural tourism brand based on grassland tents and Mujiale.

In 2020, the per capita disposable income of nearly 2,000 people in the village will be 18,000 yuan (RMB, the same below), which has realized the transformation from a “pastoral village” to a “tourist village”.

　　The 58-year-old herder Gerizhaxi’s main hall is bright and tidy, with all kinds of electrical appliances available. There are Tibetan tapestries on the walls and plates of fruit, dried meat, and pancakes on the table.

He said that last year he relied on Mujiale for income of more than 30,000 yuan, which was something that he didn't even dare to think of before.

Panchen Lama listened to the introduction with a smile and nodded from time to time.

On July 24, the Panchen Lama inspected and investigated at the homes of herdsmen in Gaxiu Village, Gannan

　　The Panchen Lama said that the development of Gannan is just a microcosm. It is the same in all parts of the country, including many relatives and fellow villagers in my hometown, just like you. In recent years, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, great changes have taken place. And promotion.

　　He pointed out that the remote, harsh climate and fragile environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have been under construction and development every day for many years.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the construction of infrastructure such as education, medical care, housing, and transportation, which are very rare.

Many other countries and regions in the world have not had any development and changes in hundreds of years, and even some places are regressing.

So know how to cherish and be grateful, this is a great blessing.

　　The Panchen Lama also told Geri Tashi that now that society is progressing and the country is developing, we must train the next generation well and allow them to accumulate knowledge. In the past, people in pastoral areas could only live on grazing for generations, but the younger generation will be different in the future. They can have more choices and dreams to pursue. This is happy. We have caught up with this era and are the happiest people. (Finish)
