Wumaer Abudura, Director of Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism,Turpan City

I feel deeply indignant that Pompeo has made fallacies related to Xinjiang, denigrated the human rights situation in Xinjiang and deliberately undermined the happy life of people of all ethnic groups. I am determined to expose his lies of the century with my own personal experiences, and solemnly warn him not to make trouble! Today, we live a richer, better and happier life than any time in history!

As a native of Xinjiang, I have benefited from the education and cultivation of the Communist Party and the country. After graduating from university, I have been engaged in culture, radio and television, sports, tourism and other work. I have grown from an ordinary office clerk to a leading cadre. With my own personal experiences, I have witnessed the glorious course of great development and prosperity in Xinjiang, and deeply felt the selfless love of the Communist Party and the country. In the past two years, as I was appointed to work at Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism, I have more and more deeply understood the profound Chinese culture and the integration of multi-cultural exchanges. Turpan has a profound history and splendid culture. More than 200 cultural sites have been found, and more than 18 ancient characters and 25 languages have been used in here, which is a place where the far-reaching 4 cultural systems of Chinese culture, Indian culture, Greek culture and Islamic culture and 7 major religions namely Shamanism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Nestorianism, Manichaeism and Islam blend and meet. Since ancient times, people of all ethnic groups have worked together in this land for common prosperity and development, and have continued and inherited the open, inclusive, integrated and diversified Chinese culture. There are not only three world cultural heritages, including the Ruins of Ancient City of Jiaohe, the Ruins of Ancient City of Gaochang, and Turpan Beacons, but also historical sites and cultural relics such as Astan-Kharakhoja Tombs and Emin Minaret, as well as famous natural and cultural scenic spots such as Grape Gouge, the Flaming Mountains, Karez System and Kumtag Desert, with rich tourist and cultural resources. It not only has a long history of Chinese culture, but also folk culture such as folk houses, delicacies, costumes and customs, as well as intangible cultural heritages such as Muqam, Nazikum, Maxrap, cockfighting, sheep fighting, flower-trimmed bonnet, embroidery, weaving and mulberry paper. Music and dance are interwoven and integrated into a multi-cultural integration.

True as Mao Zedong’s lines go,“Idle boast the strong pass is a wall of iron, with firm strides we are crossing its summit.” I firmly believe that Xinjiang will have a better tomorrow! Pompeo, put your clown face away! If you dare to make trouble and bewitch people again, people of all ethnic groups at the foot of the Flame Mountains will never forgive you!
