[Part.13]
Applying Mao's Mass Line to the Special Conditions of Tibet
Meanwhile, Mao instructed the revolutionary forces to win over the masses for the coming
revolutionwithout provoking an early polarization in which the masses might be against the
revolution. Mao wrote: "Delay will not do us much harm; on the contrary, it may be to our
advantage. Let them [the lamaist ruling class] go on with their senseless atrocities against the
people, while we on our part concentrate on good deedsproduction, trade, road-building, medical
services and united front work (unity with the majority and patient education) so as to win over
the masses."
One red soldier later said, "We were given much detailed instructions as to how to behave."
The Tibetan masses were too poor to spare any grain for the revolutionary troops. So the PLA
soldiers often went hungry until their own fields were ready for harvest. They were taught to
respect Tibetan cultures and beliefseven, for now, the intense superstitious fears that
dominated Tibetan life.
During those first years, the PLA worked as a great construction force building the first roads
connecting Tibet with central China. A long string of workcamps stretched thousands of miles
through endless mountains and gorges. Alongside these camps, the Han soldiers raised their own
food using new collective methods. Serfs from surrounding areas were paid wages for work on the
road.
The rulers of old Tibet treated the serfs like "talking animals" and forced them to do endless
unpaid laborso the behavior of these PLA troops was shocking to the Tibetan masses. One serf
said, "The Hans worked side by side with us. They did not whip us. For the first time I was
treated as a human being." Another serf described the day a PLA soldier gave him water from the
soldier's own cup, "I could not believe it!" As serfs were trained to repair trucks, they became
the first proletarians in the history of Tibet. One runaway said: "We understood it was not the
will of the gods, but the cruelty of humans like ourselves, which kept us slaves."
The PLA road camps quickly became magnets for runaway slaves, serfs, and escaped monks. Young
serfs working in the camps were asked if they wanted to go to school to help liberate their
people. They became the first Tibetan students at Institutes for National Minorities in China's
eastern cities. They learned reading, writing, and accounting "for the agrarian revolution to come"!
In this way, the revolution started recruiting activists who would soon lead the people. The
first Communist Party member from central Tibet was recruited in the mid-1950s. By October 1957,
the Party reported 1,000 Tibetan members, with an additional 2,000 in the Communist Youth
League. (See "Recruiting Young Rebels to the Revolution.")
All through Tibet's eastern rural areas and the valleys around Lhasa, the People's Liberation
Army acted as a huge "seeding machine" of the revolutionjust as it had during Mao's historic
Long March of the 1930s.

@MrVrceldesigns Have you been to Tibet? no? I thought so.

"Everybody is free and there is no hierarchy" - this is such a lie... As a tourist try going into Tibet... You'll see how strict the rules are. You can be thrown in jail so easily.

After watching these enlighting videos, feudal Tibet reminds me of the present day North Korea. The Dalai Lama and the serf owners and their decendants will never have the opportunity to return to Tibet. They can only do street protests overseas and rant on YouTube. It is the will of Buddha that the Dalai Lama and the serf owners fled Tibet for good.
