"I visited the city of Kashi (Kashgar) in the fall of 2004. It was 6 p.m. when I stood in the square in front of the Aitika Mosque in the city, in southwestern Xinjiang.



I met a group of farmers of the Uygur ethnic group. Wearing skullcaps embroidered with flower and fruit patterns and bluish gray Western-style suits, they were posing at the gateway arch of the mosque for a picture. "
