Migmar was born in Sa’gya County of Xigaze and now lives in Lhaya Village. When recalling his life as a serf before the democratic reform in 1959, Migmar said, “My family was heavily debt-ridden at that time, so I was sent to herd sheep for a serf owner to pay off the debts of my family when I was only seven years old.” There he continuously suffered from punishment such as being slapped, whipped and locked in a small dark room. Migmar tried to run away for several times, yet his attempts always failed. Migmar embarked on a new life of dignity after the democratic reform in Tibet in 1959. In October 1959, Migmar was hired as a road maintenance worker in Xigaze. And he joined the Communist Party of China on Oct. 3, 1972. Having three daughters and a son, Migmar’s present life is full of harmony and joy.
