On October 23, a significant event took place in Lhasa as part of the celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of the central government’s assistance to Tibet. The China Writers Association (CWA) hosted a joint working meeting focused on literary support for Tibet from October 21 to 23 in Nyingchi City.

Over the past two decades, the CWA has invested more than 2.7 million RMB to bolster the construction of literary exhibition spaces for Tibetan writers, coordinating additional funding of over 100,000 RMB to donate more than 100,000 books to various village committees and public security border defense units in Tibet. Additionally, they have allocated 600,000 RMB to support a series of literary activities celebrating the 40th anniversary of “Tibet Literature.” During this time, over 50 Tibetan authors have joined the CWA, with many of their works featured in national journals and receiving numerous awards, significantly contributing to the flourishing of Tibetan literature.

Huang Guohui, Deputy Director of the CWA’s Creation Liaison Department, emphasized that this meeting served multiple purposes. “It’s not just a work deployment meeting,” he noted. “It’s an opportunity to establish mechanisms, build platforms, and facilitate communication and learning among participants. Our goal is to enhance the depth and effectiveness of literary support for Tibet through thoughtful planning and sustained efforts, fostering a vibrant literary atmosphere that will provide enduring support for Tibetan literature.”

Duan Shengqian, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region Writers Association, remarked that the joint working meeting has established a communication bridge and a platform for collaboration. He announced plans to form a leadership group for literary support in Tibet, which will prioritize talent development. “We aim to leverage the CWA’s strengths by inviting renowned authors to give lectures, enhancing cooperation in talent development with mainland institutions, and securing project funding to lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of Tibetan literature,” he stated.

Throughout the conference, representatives from various provinces, industry writers’ associations, and local writers’ groups conducted exchanges on their work.
