Editor’s Note:
On February 28, 2012, Tursun Talip, a resident in Yecheng county, Kashi Prefecture, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, lost his son Turghunjan, an auxiliary police officer who was hacked to death by nine terrorists, alongside another 12 killed and 16 injured. Tursun rushed to the scene and collapsed on the weeping bitterly in front of his son’s pool of blood. “All I had in my mind was my son being hacked to death. I could even hear him crying out for me.”
