Aili Abulaiti,Graduate of Vocational Education and Training Center, Kuche

Recently, the former US Secretary of State launched some false remarks on Xinjiang. For me, these remarks are complete betrayal and challenge to morality and justice and fundamental conscience and are total nonsense. I just want to say that I am living a happy life here in Xinjiang!

I was born in the beautiful city of Kuche and you can say that I am a real Kuche native. In the environments of my growing up, studying, living and working, I was and I am with friends from various ethnic groups. We study together, play together and make progress together. We live and work in peace and contentment. We are colleagues, we are neighbors, we are friends and we have long been like a big family. Looking back at the ways I have been treading, I feel deeply that without care of the Party and without the help and support of my friends who are just like my family members I am definitely not the me as I am today!

As for the vocational and professional education care, I could be considered to be one of these who is best qualified to speak on it. When I lost myself and when the life was so helpless, it was the Party and the government that lead me out and lit the fire of life for me. I vividly remember the wonderful days I spent in the center: in the beginning I know almost nothing and bit by bit I learned and master the skills in profession.

After graduation, I started to work in the business and trade center of our city that is the biggest in scale and the most popular in business. With my diligent work, I started from the lowest level and became the logistic manager of the center. For me, this is not only a chance that my knowledge can be used, but also an opportunity that my ability is recognized. Whenever I talk about this, I am full of proud and happiness.

And look at my home town! How earth-shaking the changes are in the past years! The muddy earth roads in the villages became clean and straight asphalt roads and the transportation is much better and easier. As for sanitary, it also improves a lot with a much cleaner environment. Along the road, trees are sparkling and flowers are blooming and what a shade! The courtyard in people’s houses is also changed a lot, with big bed, beautiful table and sofa. Every family in the villages is living in bright and spacious brick and cement houses, with convenient sewage system. People’s living standard increases rapidly. Many years ago, it was difficult to find a doctor when some one was ill. Now every one is insured by government with social security and health care, and every year there is one free physical examination for every one. For the people with slow illness, they enjoy free medicines and if some one is in serious illness the cost is almost covered by government and there are various subsidies. In the past we travel with donkey-driven wagons, bicycles or on foot. Now every family have at leas an electricity-driven scooter, and some families have bought private cars. In the weekend, neighbors meet together to go to bazaars. In spare time, I will take my family to visit places of interest nearby and enjoy the view. This is my happy life, which I would not need some one to comment and definitely would not allow some one to defame.

I want to ask Pompeo this: when you slander China wherever you go, ignoring intentionally the facts, is not that we call self-deception? Your wanton defaming, shameless vilifying, and vicious spreading rumors and deceiving everywhere are absolutely getting no where. You are just like a filthy rat running over broad street, which is spat upon by every one passing by!
