¡¡¡¡NYINGCHI, Tibet, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Dadain and his daughter-in-law, both
of the Lhoba Nationality in the Tibet Autonomous Region,arrived in Beijing one
after another this week to attend the two momentous national political events
held in central Beijing.
¡¡¡¡Dadain was elected by local people as a member of the National Committee of
the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), while his
daughter-in-law, Xiao Hong, was elected a deputy to the 10th National People's
Congress (NPC).
¡¡¡¡The two prepared several proposals concerning the daily life oflocal people
before they set off for Beijing.
¡¡¡¡The Lhoba Nationality, with a population of 3,000, is the smallest ethnic
group in China, mainly living in Nyingchi Prefecture of Tibet. Before the region
was liberated in 1951, the people group made a living by hunting in dense
forest.
¡¡¡¡After liberation, the ethnic group settled down in villages. Over 97
percent of school-age children attend school. Some have become millionaires.
¡¡¡¡"Though the Communist Party of China has done a lot for us, I will make a
proposal to the CPPCC National Committee to build a bridge across the Yarlung
Zangbo River," Dadain said.
¡¡¡¡In addition, he will suggest the government to render energeticsupport for
regional development of animal husbandry when Lhoba people convert infertile
farmland to grassland in response to the central government's decision to make
western China green, he added.
¡¡¡¡In the wake of discussions with his family members and neighbors, Dadain
decided to raise another proposal together with his daughter-in-law for the
government to provide jobs for Tibetancollege graduates as professionals in
underdeveloped Tibet are more rare than in other parts of China. Enditem
