Li Dan's main deeds

Li Dan has always cherished the ambition of developing Qinghai, paying special attention to local culture and education. When I first arrived in Qinghai, there was only one Mongolian half-day primary school in Xining, and the old voluntary schools and academies were also abolished because of the political turmoil. Mongolian children returning to Tibet, who account for a large proportion of ethnic groups, can only be educated by temples. In this regard, Li Dan was very emotional and determined to change the backward state of education and set off a wave of new education. Meng Fan Primary School, Meng Fan Normal School, Bianbian School and Girls' School were established one after another. Li Dan also donated money to establish "vocational schools", "schools without me" and "medical training schools". At the same time, Li Dan also attaches great importance to improving national basic education. Through administrative channels, he set up more than 20 Mongolian and Tibetan primary schools in Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic areas and trained more than 800 students. Li Dan took the lead in developing modern Tibetan studies and Tibetan studies in Qinghai, and made important contributions to the cultural exchange between China and Tibet.

After the establishment of the Tibetan Studies Association, Li Dan not only made great achievements in his own research, but also led members to study, translate and study Tibetan in depth and recruited Tibetan scholars. He presided over the publication of the Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary selected by Yang Zhifu from the Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary. After liberation, the Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary was also listed as a book exported by the state to Nepal, India and other countries, reprinted and published for international exchange.

Li Dan was honest and self-reliant all his life and had a good reputation. He is good at literature and calligraphy. He is particularly proficient in Chinese and Tibetan, and his translation is quite rich. In Chinese, he has written Biography of Yuhai Martyrs, Lingzhou Miscellaneous Poems, Four Volumes of Coral Poems in Yanzhai, and Ballad of Qianlabulang, etc. In addition, Li Dan also translated and published Zong Kaba's "A Good Start for Bao Dao" and "Ode to karma", and also translated and published the "On the King" by giant Mipangdawa in Qing Dynasty.

Li Dan has lived in Qinghai for more than ten years, and has made great contributions to the development of local culture and education and the revitalization of Qinghai's economy, and made efforts to safeguard the integrity of the country and the social stability in the border areas. In particular, advocating the study and study of Tibetan, compiling and translating Tibetan classics, has a far-reaching impact on promoting Sino-Tibetan cultural exchanges, promoting national unity and cultivating Tibetan researchers.
