【知识点】

1951年西藏和平解放，是中国人民解放事业和祖国统一事业的重大胜利，是西藏具有划时代意义的历史转折。从此，西藏走上了由黑暗到光明、由落后到进步、由贫穷到富裕、由专制到民主、由封闭到开放的康庄大道，一个欣欣向荣的社会主义新西藏巍然屹立在世界之巅！

70年来，西藏社会制度实现历史性跨越，西藏经济发展取得历史性成就，西藏人民生活发生历史性变化，西藏民族团结呈现历史性进步。

党的十八大以来，西藏步入发展最好、变化最大、群众得实惠最多的新时代。经济年均增速位居全国三甲，农村居民人均可支配收入增速连续多年位居全国第一，城镇化率上升13个百分点。经过坚持不懈的努力，62.8万贫困人口全部脱贫，26.6万人从山高地远的苦寒之地搬迁到河谷城镇安居乐业，西藏与全国一道如期全面建成小康社会。

【重要讲话】

当前，西藏发展也站在了新的历史起点上，要跟中国共产党走、坚定走中国特色社会主义道路。

要坚持所有发展都要赋予民族团结进步的意义，都要赋予改善民生、凝聚人心的意义。

Development in all sectors should serve ethnic unity and progress, and should help improve people's livelihood and build consensus.
