It was sunny with blue sky and white clouds -- a good day for leisure and outing, but few citizens and cars were seen in the streets of Urumqi, a city of 3.5 million people and capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

 Local authorities tightened security after the riot that left at least 156 dead and more than 800 others injured. Police sealed off major areas and streets where the riot took place.

 

i'm so upset to hear this news for  lasting two days  

i can't  wait  to call my mom and dad  but no reply just~"Sorry!The number you dialed does not exist,please check it and redial." It seems like I have an intense hunch on it. gosh!what can i do? i call it again and agian ,finally mom answers "darling~everything is fine ,including all of us,dont worry about me !"

"but why ur phone number dosent exsit~i thought sth happened  to u!"i replied in a hurry

"cos shield the phone calls so that protect the safety from riots.any way we're fine ~~"mom said in a patiens

i sat down in the chair and catch breath~lord bless u ,all of the xinjiang ppl~pray that everthing r alright!

 

For whoever was behind the riot, or for whatever intentions they had in masterminding the bloodshed, one thing is clear: under no circumstances should slaughters be brooked, violence allowed or national security challenged.

we love peace!
