刘曼卿在西藏与中央政府之间正常关系恢复中的地位和作用

Liu Manqin's Status and Influence in the Recovery of the Normal Tibet-Central Relationship

刘曼卿在西藏地方与中央正常关系恢复中具有独特的地位与作用。自1911年以来没有中央官员入藏,国民政府必须解决此一问题,刘曼卿是入藏沟通意见的最佳人选。她不畏艰险,取道康藏,"打破一二十年来康藏和内地不交通的记录。"在拉萨的三个月里,她同十三世达赖进行两次会谈,并频繁与噶厦上层人物会谈,到哲蚌寺、甘丹寺、色拉寺等寺庙与喇嘛交谈,宣传国民党的三民主义,交换恢复西藏地方与中央正常关系的意见。十三世达赖表达了维护国家统一、民族团结的政治态度,要求国民政府重视边疆。国民政府给予刘曼卿应有的评价。
