History exhibition creates a stir

An exhibition on the history and development of Tibet has drawn much public attention since it opened on April 30 at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing.

At the opening ceremony of the exhibition

The exhibition comprises two parts: the History of Tibet and Feudal Serfdom in Old Tibet, and New Tibet Changing with Each Passing Day. About 160 objects, more than 400 pictures and audio-visual material are on display, telling of the vicissitudes of Tibet over the past 700 years, and the last
half century in particular.

One display showed that from 1965 -- when the Tibet Autonomous Region was founded -- to 2007, the central government provided nearly 162 billion yuan (23 billion U.S. dollars) in financial support for Tibet, accounting for 93.4 percent of the region's fiscal revenue, and how government projects
helped improve people's lives.

11th Panchen Erdeni Gyaincain Norbu (C) visits the exhibition themed "Tibet, the Past and the Present" in Beijing on May 4.
