Once the ancestors of the Daman nation were our enemies, but in the end they wandered on the Sino-Nepal border for more than 200 years and became the "Oriental Gypsy" as people call them.
Daman has made a lot of efforts to become a Chinese nationality and has also done its best to our country's borders.
Until the 20th anniversary of joining China, in order to thank the country for its support, the Daman people hung a five-star red flag at the door of every household.
So where does the Daman nation come from? What did they go through before becoming Chinese?

Getting their wishes to join the Chinese nationality
1951, in order to fully liberation of China, the relevant superior departments announced the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region, liberated the Tibet region in a peaceful manner, and allowed the Tibetan people to live a bright and happy life.
In order to promote the development of the Tibet region, the superior departments have formulated many plans in accordance with local customs, allowing Tibet to develop rapidly. Such a great development not only made Tibet turn over and become its master, but also made the Daman people who have been wandering for many years feel envious.
Tibet people
For Daman people who have been wandering for more than 200 years, what they most desire now is to have a nationality that can prove their identity.
Since the Daman people have lived in Tibet for a long time and have long been familiar with the local language and living habits, they are unable to adapt to the life in Nepal .
Therefore, the Damans had to give up the idea of returning to Nepal, return to the Sino-Nepal border again, and continue to live there.
China-Nepal border
After seeing the huge changes in Tibet, the Damans developed great interest in Chinese nationality and applied for Chinese nationality upwards for many years.
Until 2001, when personnel from relevant superior departments arrived in Tibet for inspection, they happened to witness the living conditions of the Daman people.
Seeing that Daman people have no place to live, they cannot even eat simple food on time, so each of them looks weak and sick.
The suffering of the Daman people at that time
In the end, the relevant departments of the superiors clearly knew that there was actually a group of internationally uninhabited people living here and living a hard life. Therefore, the personnel of the relevant departments of the superiors began to conduct detailed investigations on them.
After the personnel of the relevant superior departments learned in detail about Daman life, they immediately reported the situation to the superior personnel so that the superior personnel could handle it as soon as possible and help the Daman people solve their difficulties.
In order to understand the living environment of the Daman people, the superiors began to conduct detailed investigations on them and learned about them in detail. Finally, they chose to go back to discuss to deal with these issues.
Daman people's living environment
After detailed discussion, the superiors finally approved the instructions to join the Chinese nationality of Daman people, giving the Daman people a fixed residence to make a living.
The Damans who learned of this instruction were heartbroken and shouted loudly: "Great! We finally have a home!"
This sentence not only touched the Damans, but also moved the personnel of relevant local departments.
, with the recognition of the relevant superior departments, the Daman people finally successfully joined Chinese nationality in May 2003 and became a branch of Tibetan , allowing them to live in peace and stability in Tibet.
The Daman people who successfully joined China
In order to celebrate this brand new identity, the Daman people have been having fun for many days and displayed their ID certificates to show their Chinese identity.
Once envied others for having the opportunity to study and having better jobs, which was something that the people of Daman longed for, but they could not achieve because they had no nationality.
But now the people of Daman have long-awaited nationality and have made them achieve many things they never thought of, which makes them very excited.
After Daman people have nationality, the relevant departments at the higher level have carried out many support projects for them. In addition to helping them with food and accommodation, even medical and academic problems have been solved one after another.
Darman people who received medical assistance
The superior departments allocated 1.4 million yuan to build houses for more than 200 people in Daman to live in. In order to allow them to live in peace, the area was also renamed "Darman Village ".
In Daman Village, the relevant superior departments not only retained their "iron-smashing craftsmanship", but also allowed them to live a path to becoming rich.
Daman Village Ironmaking Process
A few years later, in order to solve the drinking water problem of villagers, the relevant superior departments led professionals to dig up groundwater sources for them and helped connect the tap water pipes.
In order to connect the external development path, the relevant superior departments also hired surveyors to let them see and measure multiple paths suitable for development, so that they can communicate with each other.
In order to prevent them from traveling, the relevant departments at the higher level also installed lighting street lights around them so that they can get safer to travel.
The issue of "illiteracy" in Daman people is the primary management incident of relevant departments at the higher level. Therefore, they set up a nine-year compulsory school in the local area to allow local children to receive knowledge education for free, thus getting rid of the "illiteracy" situation in the whole village.
Daman school built
Just like that, under the care of relevant superior departments, the Daman people quickly integrated into our big family and allowed them to step out of the plateau and see a broader territory of the motherland.
The relevant departments at the higher level began to issue subsidies to ethnic minorities in 2008, so that Damans can live in China better and make them proud to join China.
All this happy life was disillusioned in Tibet in 2011. Because of the Tibet earthquake, Daman Village was destroyed like never before.

When the Daman people were in a heartbreaking state, the relevant departments at the higher level extended a helping hand to them and took out millions to help them get out of the predicament. After the reconstruction of
, Daman Village became more unique. Not only did it open up different roads to reach the local area, they also developed the southern part of the local area into tourist attractions, allowing them to use the tourism economy to improve their living standards.
The Daman village has many mixed-race descendants of the Daman and Tibetans. Because their bloodline is not pure, they are rejected by the locals. In the end, they can only live with the Damans.
Since they joined the Chinese nationality, in order to thank the country for their care, many young men have chosen to join the army and make meager contributions to the frontiers of the motherland.
Daman joins the army and joins the army
Among them, Basan is the first Daman to join the army. He has longed to be a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army since he was a child. In order to achieve his dream of becoming a soldier, Basan rushed to the recruitment office for more than three kilometers to sign up for joining the army to fulfill his dream.
In addition, there was another student in Daman Village who became the first college student in the village with excellent grades, and successfully walked out of the Tibetan Plateau and embarked on the road to Wuhan University of Technology.

That's it, with the help of relevant superior departments, the Daman people not only walked out of the plateau to see fresh events from the outside world, but also brought a lot of foreign population, drove the local economy, and increased the income of all populations in the local villages several times.
For the mysterious people suddenly appearing in Tibet - Daman people, many people want to know their origins, so we have to go back more than 200 years ago to check the cruel history at that time.
Darman
Darman harsh Gurkha cavalry
In the Qing Dynasty period, a powerful tribe in Nepal Gurkha was the predecessor of the Daman.
Since the Sino-Nepal border line did not have a clear division at the beginning, the defense in the border areas has always been weak.
In order to plunder more land resources, the Gurkha people used this defect to invade the border, resulting in the miserable life of the people on the Sino-Nepal border.
At that time, most of the Gurkha people were cavalry and were good at fighting. In order to expand their territory and obtain more land and food, they did not hesitate to overthrow the Mara dynasty regime in Nepal and invade a series of effects around them.
Gurkha Cavalry
In order to avoid revenge from other forces, the Gurkha sent people to infiltrate the southern Tibet region for investigation, and found that the local wealth was vast, which led to the Gurkhas beginning to covet the southern Tibet region.
The reason for civil strife in Tibet was the reason for robbing silver, which led to the two younger brothers of the Panchen Lama fighting for everything they could.
In the end, after Shamalba was defeated, he could only defect to the hidden local Gurkha tribe, and wanted to use the power of the Gurkha tribe to seize the Tibetan regime for him.
Gurkha tribe
Gurkha tribe, which had originally coveted Tibet, discovered that the Qing Dynasty troops stationed in Tibet were weak, and the climate was mostly in ice and snow. Under this unique influence, Gurkha troops had plans to attack Tibet.
When the Gurkha tribe attacked the Tibet area, in order to reduce casualties, the relevant departments of the Qing Dynasty began to make peace with them and made corresponding commitments to them, ensuring that they would provide them with silver every year so that they could choose to withdraw from Tibet.
However, Tibetan officials were untrustworthy, which led to the Gurkha tribe sweeping again in 1791.
In order not to lose Tibet territory, Emperor Qianlong sent Fukang'an the following year to lead tens of thousands of Qing troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Gurkha tribe.
Fukangan
In the end, the Gurkha tribe was beaten to flee and even directly attacked the other side's capital. In order to retain its strength, the Gurkha tribe could only bow to the Qing army.
Because the terrain of Tibet is too complex, a small number of Gurkha tribal soldiers accidentally lost it while fighting and could not return to the Nepal region at all.
In order to survive locally, those people can only find areas that rely on water to settle down and use fruits or hunting to obtain nutrition.
Tibet region
The local climate is too harsh, so most of the soldiers left the world under such weather. Only a small number of people survived and lived along the river area and marched towards the Tibet region. After a year of wandering, the small number of Gurkha people finally returned to Tibet and asked to become members of the Tibet region.
Every emperor will have doubts about people, and Emperor Qianlong is no exception. Therefore, when those people surrendered, the relevant departments at the Qing Dynasty still refused their joining.
Qianlong
In desperation, they could only return to the Nepal region again, but because they stayed on the Sino-Nepal border for too long, they were also suspicious after returning, so they could only live in Jilong Town hidden world.
When Nepal was attacked by foreign forces, many refugees fled to the Sino-Nepal border and met with a small number of Gurkhas who lived in seclusion here, where they settled.
After a long period of survival, they began to contact the population in Tibet, and eventually they began to intermarry and even their living habits began to learn from each other.
Two tribes intermarriage
Over time, the Gurkha people began to reproduce in Jilong Town and become the current Daman people.
But the Damans lived here for so long, and there is still no possibility of obtaining Chinese nationality.
Darmans not only have difficulty in joining nationality, but also because China faces many historical reasons, they are unable to join Chinese nationality at all.

Daman reproduction process
At that time, old China was in many wars, and the relevant departments at the higher level had no energy to manage the development of ethnic minorities at all, so many regions were facing a stage of falling apart.
In order to win the final victory, many minorities are inviting Damans to join their ranks.
But in order not to participate in the chaotic disputes, the Damans insisted on rejecting invitations from those ethnic minorities.
After the founding of New China, China began to fully liberate all regions and provide all-round assistance to them by relevant superior departments after the liberation.
received support from relevant departments of the superior
Because Daman people had only eyes and were very different from local Tibetans at that time, there was no difference between other places and local Tibetans, so many people found it difficult to distinguish the populations of the two ethnic groups.
During this period, the Damans had no statesmanship and could only stay on the Sino-Nepal border.
Daman people often stay near Jilong Town. When they have no fixed place, they use various stones or other methods to build simple houses as their safe haven.
Darman simple houses
They often use their physical strength to work for local people, and they also use their specialty "craftsmanship" to make a living.
Over time, the Damans learned a lot of Tibetan culture, but there are still many aspects that are different from the Tibetans.
Daman people have been very hardworking since childhood. As long as there are outsiders who need guidance, they will be the first to be affected, and they will easily help them complete the cargo task and earn more rewards.
In order to live in Jilong Town safely, they could only apply for Chinese nationality to the higher authorities many times, but no matter how they applied, the higher authorities did not reply.
Jilong Town
The superior departments strictly control each nationality application, especially like the Daman people, they cannot be recognized by the superior departments because their ancestors have invaded our country's territory.
has also had many related events before, but it is all domestic reasons that lead to the struggle between nations, so it will be easier for them to return.
But the Damans are different from it. They were once the "enemy" of the Qing Dynasty, so it was simply a "fairy" for their Chinese nationality.
Daman
Conclusion
But "a fairy tale" has become a reality. Daman has not given up joining Chinese nationality for more than 200 years. In the end, under their insistence, he successfully won the recognition of relevant superior departments and joined Chinese nationality.
After becoming Chinese nationality, Daman people received all-round support from relevant superior departments.
Damans celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Chinese nationality, each household hangs the national flag on the roof, so the Damans are proud to be Chinese.
Highlights for every household
Darman people who used to live a hard life are now starting to be the leader, so they are proud to be Chinese.
