The First Eastern Turkestan Republic (ETR), or Turkish Islamic Republic of East Turkestan (TIRET), was a short-lived break-away would-be constitutional republic founded in 1933. It was centered around the city of Kashgar in what is today the People's Republic of China-administered province of Xinjiang. Although primarily the product of the separatist, Islamic and nationalist aspirations of the Uyghur population living there, the ETR was multi-ethnic in character, including Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, and other Turkic minorities in its government and its population. With the sacking of Kashgar in 1934 by Hui warlords theoretically allied with the Kuomintang government in Nanjing, the first ETR was effectively eliminated. Its example, however, served to some extent as inspiration for the founding of a Second East Turkestan Republic a decade later, and continues to influence modern Uyghur nationalist support for the creation of an independent East Turkestan. ...more on Wikipedia about "First East Turkestan Republic"
The Fragrant Concubine ( , Uyghur Iparhan) is a figure in Chinese legend who was taken as a consort by the Qianlong Emperor during the 17th century. Although the stories about her are believed to be mythical, they may have been based on an actual concubine from western China who entered the harem of the emperor in 1760 and who carried the court title of Rong Fei. Some people insist, however, that Rong Fei (whose original name may have been Maimur Azum) and Xiang Fei were different women. Han Chinese and Uyghur tellings of the legend of the Fragrant Concubine diverge greatly, and her experience represents a powerful symbol for both peoples. The story became greatly popular during the early 20th century and has since been adopted into several plays, films, and books. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fragrant Concubine"
