On 5th July 2009, a tragic event happened in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Province, China. As of 9th July, it has been reported that 156 people died, and more than 1000 people injured. I was saddened by the news. So what happened? What are the causes of this tragic? What is still going on? Here is a list of information sources I collected. I will keep updating it until I know enough to answer these questions.
