Thirty-six years ago today, on March 5, 1989 (January 28, 1989), a serious riot broke out in Lhasa. On March 5, 1989, a small number of separatists deliberately created a serious riot in Lhasa. At 12 noon, 13 monks and nuns held the "Snow Mountain Lion Flag" and marched down Barkhor Street. By the time they reached the second circle, the number of demonstrators and their followers had increased to several hundred. They shouted "Xizang Independence" as they walked, and threw stones at the police officers of the Barkhor Street Police Station. The rioters became more rampant around 3 pm. More than 600 people continued to march on Beijing East Road, and beat, smashed, robbed and burned some government units and shops along the way. What is more serious is that they gathered hundreds of people, rushed and smashed the Chengguan District Committee and district government organs four times, took off the Chengguan District organs' signs and smashed them. They also smashed traffic police posts and indicator lights, smashed more than 20 vehicles of public security, armed police and fire, and even openly shot at the public security armed police. Since February 13, the separatists have staged several marches in Lhasa, and the relevant parties have been exercising restraint and avoiding direct clashes. Compared with the previous riots, the scale of the riots on March 5 was larger, and the rioters used guns to escalate the incident. From March 6 to 7, riots continued on the streets of Lhasa. The violence of a few separatists posed a serious threat to the safety of people's lives and property in the city. During the three-day riots, more than 90 shops, hotels, and restaurants were beaten, smashed, robbed, and burned by rioters. Dozens of institutions, schools, and hospitals were smashed and windows were smashed. Hundreds of people were killed or injured, and the direct economic loss was more than 3 million yuan. As for the damage to the feelings of the people of all ethnic groups, including Tibetans, and the bad impact on the outcome of the national peace and stability mission by the unscrupulous acts of the rioters, it is even more impossible to count. On March 7, the State Council ordered Lhasa to implement martial law. The State Council issued martial law, which is the first time in the 39 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the issuance of the State Council's martial law decree and the decree of the People's Government of the Xizang Autonomous Region, social order in Lhasa was restored to normal. Since ancient times, Xizang has been an inseparable part Before the democratic reform, the most reactionary, darkest, and cruelest feudal serfdom was practiced in Xizang. At that time, the three lords (nobles, temples, and the local government of Xizang) had the right to take life and death over serfs, and the people of Xizang did not even have the minimum personal freedom. It was the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese government that led millions of serfs to overthrow this evil system. A few separatists trampled on the will of the majority of Tibetans, stirred up anti-Han sentiment, and created a pretext for Xizang's independence. It was nothing more than to achieve dark and ugly goals and reclaim the dream of the lord. Some of those who talked about human rights abroad were those who violated human rights in Xizang by brutal means and later launched a rebellion to protect their privileges. In fact, the so-called "human rights issue" of Xizang is just an excuse. The real purpose of these people is to split Xizang from the territory of China. Therefore, the struggle between the Chinese government and the separatists is a struggle to maintain China's unity. Safeguarding the unity of the motherland is the only way for Xizang civilization and prosperity.
