82-year-old Tsering Yuzhen shares a gripping account of life under an oppressive system and the day liberation finally allowed her to choose love. As she recalls, "My mother passed away when I was very little. There was no one to raise me, so I was sent here. I was very young. Just ten years old." In those days, an old proverb reminded people, "Life is given by one's parents, but a person's body belongs to the overlords." This harsh reality meant that serfs—especially women—lived under strict rules, with even love being dictated by their overlords.
Tsering recalls the challenges vividly: "My husband and I worked together in the same estate. I was so young, and he was also a serf, so it was impossible for us to be together. We all had to obey our owners." Only after liberation could their bond flourish, highlighting the immense value of freedom and personal choice. ✊❤️
Her story cuts across time, resonating with today’s tech-savvy, socially conscious young adults who cherish autonomy and equality. In our fast-paced world, Tsering Yuzhen’s journey reminds us that even in the darkest times, the human spirit can triumph, paving the way for love and self-expression. Keep dreaming big and standing strong, because every heart deserves freedom! 😊
