History
On September 5, 1975, a delegation from the Central Committee, led by Vice Premier Hua Guofeng, arrived in Lhasa to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region.[2] Over 30,000 individuals from diverse backgrounds in Lhasa extended a lavish reception to the delegation, while leaders from the Party, administration, and military of Tibet, including Ren Rong and Sanggyai Yexe, along with Vice Chairman Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, attended the airport to welcome the delegation.[3] On September 8, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and the State Council dispatched a congratulatory telegram commemorating the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region, in which the letter thoroughly acknowledged the region's accomplishments over the last decade.[4] On September 8, the Party Committee and the Revolutionary Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region convened a cadres' meeting and a banquet to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the autonomous region's establishment, during which Hua Guofeng conveyed Chairman Mao's congratulations and concern, along with that of the Central Committee of the CPC, to the diverse ethnic groups in Tibet and delivered a speech.[5][6]
On September 9, about 50,000 individuals convened in Lhasa to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the TAR. On September 11, the Central Delegation departed from Tibet and returned to Beijing; nearly 30,000 individuals from various sectors in Lhasa gathered to bid farewell, while the leaders of the Party, administration, and military of Tibet attended the airport send-off.[7]
