Amazed that “The Kite Runner” was actually filmed in Xinjiang, Chinese netizens poke fun at US
By Global TimesPublished: Aug 19, 2021 08:07 PM

Kashgar residents enjoy leisure time.

As the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan draws global attention, Chinese netizens were amazed to find that The Kite Runner, a famous film about Afghanistan, was actually filmed in Northwest China’s Xinjiang region.

Chinese netizens were also swift to catch the irony, as the US has never stopped attacking China’s Xinjiang policy, but the reality has shown just the opposite, as the US’ “democratic reform” in Afghanistan failed miserably, while Xinjiang residents live in peace and prosperity.

The Kite Runner, written by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, tells the story of a boy named Amir from Kabul as he navigates the world around him. A world mired in events that stretch from the fall of Afghanistan’s Monarchy through the Soviet intervention, to the exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the US and the rise of the Taliban.

Chinese netizens recently found out that the movie, which was adapted from the novel, was actually filmed in China’s Xinjiang region, probably due to unstable security conditions in Afghanistan at that time.

A netizen named ‘Daxiangjunshi’ commented, “How ironic! The movie cannot be filmed in Afghanistan as the US is fighting a war in the country. The movie is filmed in China’s Xinjiang to ‘restage’ the harmoniousness in Kabul but the US is currently racking its brains to smear the region.”

Some netizens posted pictures and videos of Kashi residents’ peaceful lives, including children happily chasing each others in residential areas.

“Compared with the Afghan people who are in a war-torn homeland, people in Kashi – a place that is less than 300 kilometers away from Kabul -- are living happily and peacefully!” A netizen named “Liziba” wrote.

Another netizen named ‘jinghexian’ wrote that “The US will never succeed in destroying our happy lives in Xinjiang region like they did in Afghanistan or other places by spreading lame lies as ‘forced labor’ or ‘genocide!’”

Small border town in N.Xinjiang full of Baroque style architecture

An unheard of small border town in Northern Xinjiang Kazak region is filled with Baroque style buildings, it makes you feel like you are somewhere in Europe. What also amazed the tourist is that this small border town next to Kazakstan and Russia is also very tourist friendly, even public bathrooms are like 5 star hotels. Fuyun County(Chinese: 富蕴县） as the official romanized name, also transliterated from Uyghur as Koktokay County. It is a county situated in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and is under the administration of the Altay Prefecture.

Demographics

The proportion of nationalities Nationality Percentage Kazakhs 74.0% Han People 20.9% Hui People 2.1% Uyghurs 1.9% Mongols 0.3% Others 0.8%

I believe I know many Xinjiang cities and towns, but this one is really unheard of... maybe because it's too small and too remote.
See the population proportion in this town, not every town and village is dominated by Uighurs, most towns and villages in northern Xinjiang close to Kazakstan are predominantly Kazakhs.
