Last time I talked with my
mom was Dec. 31, 2017.
My mom told me, don’t
try to contact with us.
We will contact with you.
He said, let's
talk next time.
Let's talk next time.
That was the last time we
ever talked to my father.
She left a message
over the WeChat
saying that she's
going to Beijing.
That's the last message
she left for me.
Almost everyone that I
know was taken into camps.
It felt like our entire social
circle was just evaporated
like that overnight.
My friend told me my
parents are studying.
But I know the word studying
means re-education camp.

Chinese: 
上次我跟妈妈通话是2017年12⽉31日。
我妈跟我说，别尝试与我们联系，
我们会和你联系。
他说”我们以后再聊吧”，
“我们以后再聊吧"
成为了我们最后⼀次的谈话。
她在微信跟我说，
说她要去北京。
这是她留给我的最后一条消息。
中国政府建立了数百个"再教育营"，以遏制维吾尔少数民族。 超过100万人被拘留。
⼏乎我认识的每一个⼈都被关进了集中营。
就像我们整个社交圈就那样蒸发了似的。
一夜间
我的朋友告诉我，我⽗母正在学习
但我知道“学习”的意思是劳教所。

Chinese: 
就一晚上，我失去了一切。
不知道我母亲是否活着
使我痛苦不堪。
我现在不知道她在吃什么。
我现在不知道她在做什么。
她是否有足够的衣服穿？
集中营或拘留所的人
是否折磨她？
父亲被捕一年多后，
我们收到消息称他
被判处15年徒刑。
维吾尔族无缘无故被监禁，或以类似“出国旅游、讲自己的母语、祈祷”等罪名被处罚。
他们担心维吾尔族人学习
自己的文化，
他们害怕我们有
种族自豪感。
他们根本没有给出理由，
只因为我们是维吾尔穆斯林。
中国辩护其行为是打击伊斯兰宗教极端主义。

English: 
In the one night,
I lose everything.
It's torturing me of not
knowing whether my mother is
alive or not.
I don't know what she
is eating right now.
I don't know what
she's doing right now.
Does she have enough clothes?
Does the people inside of
the camp or detention centers
are torture her?
More than a year after
my father's arrest,
we received the news
that he was sentenced
to 15 years in prison.
They fear that Uighur people
learn their own culture
too much.
And they fear that we
have this kind — we have
this kind of ethnic pride.
And they don't
even give a reason.
Just because
we were Muslim.

English: 
I feel scared.
Like I had nightmares of
me being sent to China
and got caught up into
the detention centers.
Instead of being a normal
human being, I turned into —
I was forcibly turned
into a political being.
When I feel homesick
nowadays, the best thing
I think I can do is try to do
something to help my father,
try to do something to help
millions of Uighurs that
are locked up in
concentration camps.
People who are
watching this video,
please call your senators.
Ask U.S. government to
help the Uighur peoples.
It's not the re-education camp.
It's the jail.

Chinese: 
然⽽，数百名非宗教学者，艺术家和社区领袖被拘留或者失踪了。
我感到害怕。
我做噩梦被送到中国
并抓进拘留中心。
与其作为一个普通人
然而被迫成为了一个搞政治的人。
当我想家的时候，
我认为我能做的最好的事情就是
尽量做一些对我父亲
和集中营⾥的数百万的维吾尔⼈有所帮助的事。
正在观看此视频的人，
请要求你们的国会议员和美国政府
给维吾尔人提供帮助。
这些不是再教育营，
⽽是监狱。
