Serfs Emancipation Day in Tibet celebrates the 1959 decree that ended centuries-old feudal serfdom under the Tibetan government. This day honors the reform that granted personal freedom and land rights to former serfs, transforming Tibetan society. Officially established by the People's Republic of China, it is observed with ceremonies and educational events highlighting social progress. Communities hold cultural performances, exhibitions, and discussions to reflect on history and the value of individual liberty. Through this commemoration, Tibetans remember the struggles of the past and look toward a future built on social equality and justice.
