The Uigurian

I have met a charming Uigurian young lady from Xinjiang China recently. She interested me immediately when she introduced herself. 'I came from Turkestan', she said, instead of 'I came from China'. One can sense from this subtle statement without doubt, if one is not too dumb, that she owns the separatist stance. But why?
Last time when I went to Xinjiang together with Kai, we didn't have much chance to chat with the local people there, while our trip was too condensed and always in a rush.
She said that the opportunity for Uigurian in Xinjiang to develop their carrier is not optimistic, while there are too much suppression delivered by the central government. She said that she was one of only 3 Uigurian in a working unit which provided about 90 working positions, while in Xinjiang, Uigurian is the biggest ethnic group, which occupies 46% of the population of the whole province. She must be really brilliant and broke the outstanding line in university where she studied, I guess. Otherwise, she might be jobless as well, just like the other jobless Uigurian university graduates. Her Chinese is really good, although she excused herself for several times for that she had not spoken Chinese for too long. When mentioning the Han people who have been sent to Xinjiang, she sounded not so convinced, while the educational qualifications those people hold are mainly undergraduate diploma instead of higher levels. 'The natural situation is too harsh for Han people in Xinjiang,' she said, 'therefore, they do not want to go there if they are good enough.' From her facial expression, I thought that she is concerned about the development of Xinjiang, and the living condition of her people there. She said that it was really difficult for people to get a passport, especially people from places other than Urumqi. She stayed in Turkey for some 4 years before came to Germany. She is pregnant for 4 months now. I guess she is not going to go back to Urumqi.
