Xinjiang training center grads refute rumors from West

Question 8: I would like to invite the trainees to talk about their views about the training. Have you been discriminated against by your relatives, neighbors and friends for participating in the training? Have your personal rights and interests been affected? What do you think of the teaching and training center?

Answer: My name is Kasenmujan Heilili. I once opened a software technology company in Hotan city. I was once influenced by extreme thoughts. In my mind, we Muslims could not have contact with anything related to "kafirs", (namely, non-Muslims or heretics). If we contact "kafirs", we will go to hell to suffer and can't go to heaven to enjoy happiness. Gradually, I felt that my friends around me were doing nothing right and that what they were doing was not in line with the Muslim behavior. So I was getting more and more irritable and my behavior was becoming increasingly extreme, frequently abusing and reviling friends related to "kafir". Consequently, my friends began to stay away from me and did not want to contact me. Then I began to reflect on myself and think about whether there is something wrong with me. My parents were very distressed to see that I was reduced to such a personality and recommended the vocational skills training center to me, hoping that I could attend the training. After careful consideration, I decided to go to the center for training.

The teaching and training center is a very good school providing free food, accommodation and other daily necessities. The school has KTV and internet cafes. It also provides courses for us to learn the national language, law, and some professional skills, helping us to remove extreme thoughts. I can go home once a week, and this gives me a feeling that I have been brought back to my college life. Every time I return home on holiday, I will tell my family that the teachers have taught us a lot about law and policy, helping me to realize my previous wrong behavior and how ridiculous my previous thoughts and behaviors used to be. I will work hard to study law at the school and try to acquire more knowledge about law by the end of the training, so that I will not have wrong ideas and my family will not worry about me again.

During the training period, I was not discriminated against at all. My teachers and classmates were very concerned about my study and life and often helped me. After returning home, my family and neighbors were very happy about my changes. In particular, with the aid of the government, my family has been relieved of financial difficulties. During my father's medical treatment at hospital, the total medical expense amounted to 220,000 yuan and the government reimbursed 160,000 yuan for us. My family only paid 60, 000 yuan, which greatly lightened our burden. After I came back from the training, the national language competence and enterprise management skills I learned in the training center have greatly helped my company. When I told the government that I wanted to expand my company, the government suggested that I apply for a loan from the bank. At present, the government is helping me with the 300,000 yuan loan I applied for. Now my family has more and more confidence in me, and I have also found a Miss Right I love. I will get married soon. This is the right life I want. I think that if I had not studied in the teaching and training center, maybe I would have been on the way to the crime and would not have my current life.
