Former serf's new life in Xigaze

Containers for barley wine are seen at Drungtok's home in Xigaze, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Jan. 15, 2021. Drungtok, a former serf of Bailug manor in old Tibet, has seen her life totally changed from before. In the old days, Drungtok and her ancestors worked as serfs at the Bailug manor, making barley wine for the manor owner to offset the duty. She offered their labor all year long but never drunk the wine herself. Nowadays, she lives in a Tibetan yard with her grandchildren, drinking barley wine and enjoying time with families.
