Doctor a hero to rural Xinjiang community

In the Kazakh language, baerluke means abundant, rich and having all that's needed.

However, nomads herding cattle on Baerluke Mountain - located on the Chinese border with Kazakhstan in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region - have always lived with a shortage of doctors.

"Baerluke needs me," says Mei Lian, a doctor who has worked for more than 20 years in this region.
