Uygur promotes cultural harmony
Print Edition
MEASURING slightly over 5 feet, Miradil is not tall, but his ambitions are high.
Miradil, 23, is from Hotan in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and is of Uygur ethnicity. He is in his second year as an international trade student at Jiangxi University of Technology in Nanchang, the provincial capital of Jiangxi.
“Miradil has been dedicated to introducing his home region of Xinjiang to his fellow students, and has made important contributions to promoting cross-ethnic exchanges,” said Wu Fukang, deputy secretary of the Jiangxi provincial Youth League.
In 2014, Miradil directed a film, “I Dream To Be,” which captures the dreams and aspirations of students from different ethic groups. The 64-minute film has been viewed by more than 5 million people on several websites.
“After the Kunming knife attack, there was a lot of prejudice against and apprehension about people from Xinjiang, so I made the film to capture the goodwill and young people’s efforts to forge friendship among different ethnic groups,” he said.
Miradil plans to present a series of cultural exhibitions on Xinjiang to thousands of university students in November.
With the support of his university, Miradil now runs two companies selling Xinjiang delicacies in gift boxes to buyers in Nanchang and other cities.
Miradil also runs a project called the New Silk Road Entrepreneurs Caravan, which brings together more than 150 Xinjiang students engaged in e-commerce.
