When Chen Xuanbo, 40, an ethnic Han official, was sent to work in southern Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, he thought he was going to a place where it would be "too dangerous to fall asleep".
On March 5, only days after 29 people were killed and more than 140 injured in Kunming, in an attack that police said was organized and committed by separatists from Xinjiang, Chen left regional capital Urumqi for Azkhan village that is located in the Kezilesu Kirgiz autonomous prefecture.
"It would be a lie if I said I had no fear then," Chen says.
