URUMQI, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Each autumn, the streets of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region come alive with the sight of bright red pomegranates, long cherished as one of the local people's favorite fruits.
During President Xi Jinping's 2014 visit to the region, a Uygur resident shared with him the belief that people of different ethnic groups should remain as closely united as "pomegranate seeds that stick together."
