BEIJING Cheap Air Vapormax Black , Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- When amateur boxer Kurbanjan Samat bought his first camera, he never expected to use photos to fight the stereotypes surrounding people from his native Xinjiang.

"You might be thought of as a barbecue operator, nut cake vendor, or even dangerous person by some people if you're from Xinjiang Cheap Air Vapormax Off White ," the 33-year-old Uygur photographer and documentary filmmaker says, referring to the wrong perceptions of people from this remote northwest corner of China.
