"The curtain opened on Chinese children dancing, singing, and dressed in military uniforms as though to remind the natives that the occupation was still a current reality. In order to assert its power the Chinese Government decided to divide the conquered land into several small provinces that would together form the large independent region of Xinjiang. The year 1995 marked the 40th anniversary of the invasion of the region for the native populations or of the declaration of their independence for the Chinese authorities. Special events were organized by the government. Local populations were invited to attend this show in the public movie theater." Photograph and caption by Reza
