I wrote earlier this month on LitHub about the complexities of reporting in Syria, as a Chinese American reporter.
“I was later to find out…that their antipathy and hostility was not towards Chinese people but to the government of China.”

Thank you to everyone who came out to JF Books last night for @EmilyZFeng’s talk on Our Hearts Burned for Home.
It’s a story most people have never heard. Beijing’s surveillance and cultural erasure in Xinjiang pushed thousands of Uyghurs into exile, and some of them ended up on the front lines of Syria’s civil war, where they helped bring down Assad. Emily built the book on rare interviews with the fighters and their families. It’s not an easy read, but it’s an important one.

How did large numbers of Uyghurs come to leave western China and fight in Syria's civil war?
@EmilyZFeng has reported on Xinjiang issues since 2017. In her latest book, she interviews the Uyghur fighters far from home. Read the full Q&A: buff.ly/0PjcuTF

After 14 years of war in Syria, Damascus fell to the rebels in December 2024. Fighting with them was a small but critical cohort of Uyghurs, who had fled China and joined the battle. But once the war was won, could they find a home so far from their homeland?
