Why the Hui, Salar and Dongxiang?
Today in China, three people groups — the Hui, Salar, and Dongxiang — share a common characteristic distinct from the rest of China: they are Muslim. Though they trace different ancestry, speak different languages and often look like different ethnicities, they all carry the same weight of being minorities in their own country.
Moreover, these peoples also share another trait: they have been all but forgotten by the rest of society.
