      My Homeland iz Eastern Turkestan or Uyghurstan as we say it. It's now under Chinese reign. Uyghurstan is in the west of China. Neighbours of my homeland are Kyrghyzstan, Kazahstan, Afganistan, Pakistan, Tibet, Western Mongolia. The capital of Uyghurstan is Urumchi. Very beautiful city. Also there are a lot of big cities as Kuldja, Qashkar - the historical capital city of Uyghurstan, Aksu, Hami, Karamay, Hotan. The history of Uyghurstan is full with many historical events. So many empires past through the uyghur lands. There are The State of Karahani, Idikut-Uyghur (Turfan) Empire and so on...

      Till nova days my homeland has many names. There are: "Eastern Turkestan",  "Uyghuria", "Mulkul Uyghuria", "Uyghurstan", "Xing-Ziang" and "Xing-Ziang Uyghur Autonomous Region".

      From this names Xing-Ziang and XZUAR are the names given by the Chinese colonists. So we, the natives of Uyhurstan never use them. 

      Uyghurs are very ancient nation. Also uyghurs are known as first turkic nation that past to settled life and has accepted Islam. We have very rich culture. Uyghur kitchen is known everywhere in Asia, especially in Middle Asia. We have our music culture also. Uyghurs are ery peacefull people. Many centuries before uyghurs were very fighting nation, we were in armies of Chingizhan, Tamerlan, Karahani and others. Uyghurs were skilful equestrians. But after uyghurs past to settled life they became farmers and they love to work on farms and fields.

      I will say about myself. I like to work on homeyard, on field. I like horses and sheeps. I think it's in my genes and blood. Cause my father and grandfather and his father were farmers. My little brother also want to be a farmer. And I hope he will do this job. And continue our family's history.

      We are uyghurs and we want our homeland back. Chinese colonists want to destroy us as nation. They want to get our motherland, but everybody knows that every nation has motherland, so we also have our homeland. And this homeland is very beautiful and rich land. We want to say to Chinese colonists "Go back to your land and leave us in peace".
