Thanks for the education. I truly envy your adventurous spirit. In my young days I used to hike/traveled to forsakened places and those are the memories I treasure most. Also, because I was into life-changing meaningful pursuits. Wishing you all the best in your travels.

GOOD LUCK TO YOUR FUTURE MOVE DARLING-ITS GREAT TO SEE YOU FEARLESS IN FEAR FULL PART OF THE WORLD. THINK GLOBAL-ACT LOCAL.love from Pakistan

People need to not be so judgemental. I'm talking about the people who comment. She opened up her life and changed to experience a difference that most Americans or anyone in the world has done and she is being judged for it

Hi - both Tiffany (the girl in the video) and myself (the guy who made & posted this video postcard) are American - from California.

Ha I love the stairwell. I swear every stairwell in every apartment building in this whole country looks the same.

I wish you have left this place before that disaster. If not, I pray for your safety. You have a faint but sweet voice, out of the coldness I guess. It's a beautiful city. Sad it should suffer like that.

Fatumai is a Muslim. Not sure if originated from Xinjiang but her look seems to tell her ancestors come from Xinjiang area. She is taking the opportunity of living in China and then moving to Hong Kong and become a famous star there. She is famous worldwide now (not to the Western world though). Japanese also has clear description of this Chinese star!

Hi - yes. Though -Tiffany recently went back to California for a few months and will return to Urumqi afterwards.

Great video, do u have any video of Urumqi in the middle of winter?

BUL MENING ANA YURTUM. GUZAL . TURKISTANIM..........

Nice video, you should try to find Fausto Cáceres there. He runs a radio called shirey & spinozza

good job Faosto, choos the right music in right time :)

Wow, more than a decade ago. I've swept the internet looking for Tiffany but it's been fruitless. Wonder where she is today, what she's been up to.

What was she doing there? Teaching?

Type Fatumai Wikipedia on google search and find this girl - 賈曉晨.

where r u from?

great vid. why are you in Urumqi? not exactly an expat's 1st choice.

ok I know that theres a conflict between Hans and Xingjiang ppl... but im half XingJiangnese and half Chinese mom is from Urimuqi and dad from Beijing...I really dont know which side i should be on~~

1) It wasnt their country as they only settled in that area several hundreds year ago. There were already other ethnic people living there. 2) That area already belonged to the Chinese empire for over a thousand years. 3) Out of all the ethnic people living there, only the Ughurs claim that those lands are theirs. Probably because they became the most dominant ethnic group. 4) The Ughurs declared independance but was never recognised. As such, they got overrun by China after WW2.

The situation worsened after portraits of Chairman Mao were hung in the now empty places of worship (and Muslims were forced to show their respect for such images). Some 29,000 mosques were closed during that period.13 The following stage consisted of the arrest of religious leaders on groundless and baseless charges and accusations. Some of these were condemned to death, and more than 54,000 religious figures were condemned to work in the most terrible conditions in Chinese labor camps

Standard of living for Uighurs in Xinjiang is higher than Uzbeks and Kirghiz in their own countries.

Your own name east turkistan was given by russian in the 19th century. The name Xinjiang was given by manchurians 400 years ago. Xinjiang was ruled by mongols at that time.

照您这说法，土耳其应该把伊斯坦堡还给拜占庭人,领土本来就是国家实力的象征 according to your theory, turkey should return istanbul to Byzantine. territory is a issue of power

Freedom for uyghur

Hate the look of it, no ocean, bitterly cold, meat hanging in the street. Forget it

You communicate in english thats another assimilation not chinese but anglo-saxon.Think about that.

She speaks a bit Chinese.

looks like she wants to do a job an American soldier could not do in Iraq

Is bluewig a jew?I'm trying to practise my jew facial recognition skills.

When are our decadent democracies gonna break down one may ask...

hmmmmm....Chinese Muslim.....rare

I know the history. Check the map of Qing dynasty you fool. It was part of Qing. "Their own country"? What country? What's the name? It's never existed.

When Chinese took control of Uighurs. The country of the U.S. was not existed yet. Can you say Europen people ate up the North America territory?

pls don't speak foul language...be civilized.This is just mastermined by some extremist in the US.

who are u?what a unplite guy u are,I think u are chinese,right?ok,ofcourse if the goverment solve the problem on time this thing wouldnot be happen.who started frist??? the uyghurs have right to to so
