Kurban Tursun, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang

Recently, Pompeo and Adrian Zenz expressed Xinjiang-related fallacies. By distorting the facts, they were meant to instigate China’s ethnic relations, disturb Xinjiang’s development, maliciously attack China’s Xinjiang policy, and deliberately discredit the good situation in Xinjiang and the hard-won happy life of the local people. It is a malicious insult to Xinjiang people. I am so outraged that I strongly condemn such a shameless action! I resolutely expose their ugly faces with the facts!

The happy life of the three generations of my family is the best counterattack against Pompeo and Adrian Zenz’s so-called "genocide" and "crimes against humanity" and other slanderous lies. It is lucky for me to live in China’s Xinjiang, and to live in such a great time. I am proud of the prosperity and stability of Xinjiang. With a happy life, I am all very grateful of Xinjiang.

I was born in a family of intellectuals in Bohu County of Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. My father worked at the People’s Congress of my county before his retirement, and my mother worked as a teacher. Under the guidance of my parents and the careful cultivation of the Party and the state, 4 brothers and sisters of my generation get jobs in medical, forestry, water conservancy and other industries. We are all working hard in our respective positions for the development of Xinjiang. Each of us has an individual happy and warm family. My wife is a teacher, like my mother, and we have 2 children. I think a good family atmosphere is an important factor for children’s growth. The elder son is now a student at Tianjin Conservatory of Music. He could play 4 musical instruments such as piano, violin, etc. And I’m proud of his excellent performance. The younger son is lively and cute, and is now studying in a primary school. Countless Uygur children in Xinjiang, like those in my family, have received a good education and will find satisfactory jobs.

I love Xinjiang deeply, and I have always linked everything about myself closely with the cause of the Party and the state. In 2018, I worked as a village-stationed official in Kekmodun Village of Tawenjueken Township, Bohu County. I personally experienced the remarkable changes of the village: new paved roads, beautiful environment, improved sanitation, new houses for every household, booming courtyard economy, and happy smiles on everyone’s face. In addition, the villagers are entitled to medical reimbursements, farmland subsidies, pension subsidies and free compulsory education. They have also access to tap water, free physical examination and other preferential policies. All come from the care and warmth of the Party and the state.

At present, Xinjiang is in its best period of prosperity and development, with the local residents living a happy and harmonious life in a stable environment. My life is only one of the true Xinjiang stories. Shut up, Pompeo and Adrian Zenz! We are living a very happy life, and nobody likes a backseat driver! Keep your eyes open and take a closer look. Your absurd and ridiculous remarks will only be self-defeating! No one can stop Xinjiang’s steps forward, and Xinjiang will have a better tomorrow!
