When meeting with representatives of the Chinese media, Guo Yongxiang, Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress, briefly introduced the basic situation of Sichuan, the Wenchuan earthquake relief situation, economic development, and the Tibetan herdsmen settlement action plan and tent new life action. He hoped that Chinese media representatives would go deep into the grassroots in Tibetan areas to understand the real situation in Tibetan areas and experience the development and changes in Tibetan areas first-hand.

Guo Yongxiang said that the Tibetan areas in Sichuan Province include 32 Tibetan areas and counties in the three prefectures of Garze, Ngaba and Liangshan, covering an area of ​​nearly 250,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than half of the total area of ​​the province, and with a population of 1.87 million, including 1.24 million Tibetan people. The Tibetan population is second only to the Tibet Autonomous Region, making it the second largest Tibetan area in China. In recent years, Sichuan Province has vigorously developed the economy of Tibetan areas and improved the production and living standards of people in Tibetan areas. It has successively launched and implemented the "Herders Settlement Action Plan and New Life in Tents Action Plan", the "Tibetan Areas Free Secondary Vocational Education Plan" and the "Sichuan Tibetan Areas Health Care Development Plan", etc., which have brought about earth-shaking changes in the lives of Tibetan people.

After completing this on-the-spot investigation of the economic and cultural development of Tibetan areas, Zhen Kaiying said that he would translate his feelings into words and share with readers the current status of Tibetan folk customs and the new life of herdsmen as soon as possible.
