Tashi Gyaltsen, from the Lhoba ethnic group, was elected as a deputy to the 13th and 14th National People's Congress. As a grass-roots cadre in Layu Township, Chongye County, Lhoka City, Tibet Autonomous Region, and a representative of the ethnic group with a small population, Tashi Gyaltsen has been paying close attention to the implementation of the project to enrich the border areas and the people, as well as the cultural inheritance and protection of the Lhoba ethnic group.  

The Lhoba ethnic group is an ethnic minority group with a small population of China. Through a long process of development, the Lhoba people have developed their own unique costume, language and other cultural carriers.  

On the basis of many investigations, Tashi Gyaltsen has a general understanding of the current situation and difficulties of the cultural protection of the Lhoba ethnic group. During the National Two Sessions in 2019, he put forward the suggestion that "the country can enrich the means of intangible cultural protection for ethnic groups with small populations, accelerate the application of modern scientific and technological means to digitize their cultural resources, so as to strengthen the protection and inheritance of their ethnic cultures ". 

In 2020, Abadani, a fairy tale of the Lhoba ethnic group, was approved and implemented as a sub-project of the "One Hundred Chinese Epics Project". Lhoba Clothing and other items are listed on the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list. With the support of the provincial and municipal government aiding Tibet, the Lhoba Ethnic Culture Exhibition Hall has been set up in the Lhoba ethnic community... "Currently, the protection work is being promoted and implemented through multiple channels, and good results have been achieved in the rescue and protection of the traditional culture of the Lhoba ethnic group," said Tashi Gyaltsen. 

In the past two years, Tashi Gyaltsen has become busier. In addition to visits and research, he also leads the cadres and the masses of the township to develop production, solve the problems of public concern such as medical care, education and public services, and help more farmers and herdsmen live a better life. 

"Life is getting better and better, and people are paying more attention to their health." Tashi Gyaltsen said. During the national two sessions in 2020, he submitted a proposal to "strengthen talent construction, discipline construction and medical equipment updating in the people’s hospitals in counties and cities in Tibet ". The suggestion was quickly put into practice, and the government continued to expand the scope of group medical assistance work in Tibet, and more and more people in farming and pastoral areas could see doctors without long travelling.  

In 2021, Tashi Gyaltsen was appointed as deputy secretary of the CPC Committee of Doyu Lhoba Ethnic Township and head of the township’s government. Since taking office, he has traveled almost every inch of the countryside and visited most of the people, gaining an in-depth understanding of border construction, production and life of the people in the border areas, and safeguarding of the border areas. 

At present, the three administrative villages in Doyu Lhoba Ethnic Township have been built into well-off villages with Internet access, tap water, and basic roads. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people have been greatly improved. In 2022, the township's per capita annual income exceeded 26,000 yuan. "I want to bring the happy changes in my hometown, the construction of our well-off villages and the voices of the grassroots people to the Two Sessions." Tashi Gyaltsen said.
