The Uyghurs live primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. It is one of China's ethnic minorities, but the population is about 10 million. Uyghur history is the story of a small nomadic tribe from the Altai Mountains rising to challenge the Chinese Empire. Ultimately, the Uyghur became one of the provinces be administered by the government of the People's Republic of China. But the Uyghur still has some privileges which are different from the other provinces such as the aspects of education, laws, finance and so on.
The Uyghur people are really good at singing and dressing up. They have the unique style of music. It’s totally different from common Chinese classic music. Especially, when some festivals, they will put on Uyghur national costumes and sing or dance all the day with their friends or families.
Uyghur is also a place which is rich in fruit and animal husbandry because of the climate. The temperature of Uyghur between the day and the night is so different so that the fruit need to store much more sugar to sustain its growth. So the fruit in Uyghur usually tastes very sweet and I also like the Uyghur mutton strings very much. You can see Uyghurs sell them in every corner of China.
So, it means that they are treated equally as other Chinese, right?
