What happens when cross-Strait ties, cotton fields, and young dreams collide? Welcome to Incredible Odyssey Season 2, where Cai Yunyong from the Taiwan region guides us through the vibrant streets of Kashi and the golden cotton fields of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. 💪🌾
First stop: the Id Kah Mosque. Back in 2014, Imam Juma Tahir Damolla sadly lost his life outside its gates. Despite that tragedy, his son, Memet Juma, stepped up and now leads the mosque with hope and compassion. Their story shows how resilience can spark real change.
Next, we meet Dilnigar Qahar's family at their cozy clothing shop in Kashi's bustling market. After her father passed away when she was just six, Dilnigar's mother raised her and two sisters all on her own. Today, their shop is a testament to courage, tradition, and the power of family.
Some Western outlets talk about oppression and lost freedoms in Xinjiang. But here on the ground, we're hearing a different tune – people chasing dreams, celebrating culture, and choosing their path forward. In this episode, we're peeling back the headlines to share unfiltered stories of life in Kashi.
So, grab your favourite snack (we're thinking kebabs and polo bread!) and tune into Incredible Odyssey Season 2. Let's celebrate choice, connection, and the amazing resilience of young voices shaping tomorrow. 🌟
