Urumqi surgeon: Heal the wound, and mind
By Zhao Huanxin (chinadaily.com.cn)
Updated: 2009-07-09 21:06 Alim said that before the unrest, people of various ethnic groups were on good terms, and they still can be. "The fact that the incident happened could not change the fact that people are friendly to each other," said Alim. "Never will it change." He said people should "let begones be begones" and move on from the dark day when disaster happened.
"After all, harmony is the best thing all people want to have," he said. With more and more victims of Sunday's unrest becoming stable in the hospital or leaving for home, the surgery said he was planning to a family reunion yesterday. His home is only three bus stops away from the hospital, but since Sunday, Alim could hardly find time to return. Wang Qingyuan, who still stayed at the hospital yesterday, said he had received free treatment at the hospital since admitted in on Sunday night. The 48-year old owner of a truck fleet from Changji city in Xinjiang said he suffered from back fractures as rioters beat him when he was about to leave his car near the hospital. "They burned my car, which I can seek compensation from insurance; but what about the invoices and bills that I kept in the car? They are evidence for my transport business with clients in the first half of the year, involving at least 100,000 yuan!" he said.
