More than 3,000 people from all walks of life attended a flag-raising ceremony in Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet autonomous region, on Friday morning to mark the 55th anniversary of the abolition of serfdom in Tibet.
Residents enjoyed themselves with Tibetan songs and dances in Lhasa's Dzongyab Lukhang Park.
"I am so pleased to attend the flag-raising ceremony of Serfs' Emancipation Day, and I wish Tashidelek (the commonly spoken salutation of Tibetans) on this very special day," said Trinley, a nomad from Tibet's Nagqu prefecture.
