Tovende 2005-yili Sintebirde Urumqide tartkhan bir khisim resimlerni tordaxlargha sundum. Mening Urumqige barmighinimgha 11 yildek bolup khaptiken. Men osup qong bolghan Urumqining eslidiki khiyapiti asasen khalmaptu. On neqqe yildin beri bu xeher Hitay memlikiting gherp-ximali khismidiki eng qong hem eng terikhi khilghan bir xeherge ayliniptu. Birakh kopinqe Uyghurlar yenila kholsanaet, khasapqilikh, kavapqilikh, axpezqilik ve honervenlikler bilen jan bakhidiken. Urumqidiki Hitaylar bilen selixturghanda, Uyghurlarning turmux ehvali jikh naqar hem keynide khalghaniken.
(The following are some of the pictures I took during my trip to Urumqi in September 2005. I have not been to Urumqi for almost 11 years. Over the years, the city where I grew up has been changed to the biggest and the most developed city in north-western part of China. However, the most of Uyghur people still make their living by working as craftsman, butcher, cook, kebab seller and other kind of low paid profession. Their living standard is much lower than Chinese people living in Urumqi..)
