Wang Dansui—Sina Witness
The Chinese government sends Xinjiang government and Party cadres to work directly with local communities, especially in poverty-stricken southern Xinjiang, where riots have become one of the government’s biggest concerns. About 200,000 cadres are involved in this three-year program. Wang Dansui, a Han Chinese photographer born and raised in Xinjiang, went to several villages around the city of Kashgar to photograph the work and life of these cadres.
