Since this year, Sagya County Bureau of Culture arranged a series of cultural performances with the theme of “Happiness in Tibet” to celebrate the 40 years of Reform and Opening-up. The performances showing earth-shaking changes of Tibet included various art forms.

During the performances, local government cadres and villagers sang and danced together to share their happiness, which has greatly strengthened the relationship between them. [Liu Fang, He Huizhong]
