For Wuken Shawuerhan, a fourth-year student at Dalian University of Foreign Languages, making films has always been one of his favorite things to do. When it came time for him to choose a topic for his graduation project, he decided to make a video about his hometown, Habahe county of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to answer questions he has been asked many times and reveal what Xinjiang really looks like.
