Description of the recording place
Aksu is a modern city in Southern Xinjiang, China. There are five cities; Aksu is the best one; it has a population of 1,8 million and covers an area of 132.0000 square kilometers

Description of the location
I choose the end of a street market. Where most of local people go to buy something, such as fruits, vegetable crops, clothes. From the video tape you can know, how the Aksu people live their life

Personal Commentary
I change the tape that you gave. It's because that day when I started the project (9th of Sept. 95) Chinese Prime Minister came to Aksu city. The video camera for Hi 8 tape was used for Mister Zhu Rongji (Prime Minister)
