The first Yuan Jiang, Shandong cadres and a total of 29, respectively, to the Kashgar area, and five counties and cities to direct departments, mainly engaged in party politics, education, health and agriculture, forestry, water and other aspects of the work. I am a 29 cadres in the one, when the selection of cadres, I was the first active application, and it can be said is not false thinking on the voluntary submission of books, his wife, also fully support; now, after all, was too young to recall it, the idea is too simple, it is back to Xinjiang each year to visit relatives, do not themselves and from the exorbitant cost of the!
