Daowuran plays the Kalimba he just obtained in the basement of his home in Tacheng, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 1, 2020. Accordion makes an important part of people's life in Tacheng, a city where diversified cultures meet and mingle. Daowuran, an accordion repairer, has ardent love towards the instrument. To seek for and learn about different accordions, Daowuran had been doing part-time jobs in pubs while traveling around since 1991. He even traveled to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan for accordions. Daowuran set up a studio in his basement to repair accordions. "Summer is the most pleasant season in Tacheng. My friends and I are going to play the accordions, sing and dance in the beautiful season." he said. (Xinhua/Zhao Ge)
