It turned out that after World War II, the Soviet Union suffered a lot of casualties and had a very scarce labor force, especially in the Central Asia region near our country, which was originally under the Pamir Mountains, with sparsely populated areas and many pastures and farms untapped.

Things are done by man, and nothing can be done without people.

In the past few years, we had a trend of thought. Whenever we talked about population, we often felt that it was a burden, but on the contrary, population is the greatest resource for social development.

Because whether it is production and consumption or defending the country, it is absolutely impossible to have a small population.

So in the early 1960s, Sino-Soviet relations happened to be cold, so the Soviet Union focused on the population of China's far-reaching areas.

Because the Soviet Union's economic conditions were good, and our lives were difficult, we were still carrying out such and other movements. So the KGB spies took advantage of the situation and infiltrated Western Xinjiang, inciting many people in the border areas to call themselves Soviet expatriates and demanding "return to their hometowns."

Radio stations in Central Asia of the Soviet Union also began to broadcast programs in local languages ​​to promote the beautiful "Soviet life" and strengthen their attraction to the people.

Under this long-term agitation, some officials with other plots began to cater to the Soviet Union, including some generals from local troops. They defected to the Soviet Union and incited the people to go to the Soviet Union to "find a better life."

In April 1962, under the organization of people with ulterior motives, many ordinary people flocked to the Horgos Port and Baktu Port on the Sino-Soviet border, demanding to take a car to the Soviet Union and clashed with border guards.

The Soviet Union also fueled the fire. They drove a few cars and parked them on the border, waiting for these people to pick them up at any time as soon as they crossed the border.

People can keep them, but people's hearts cannot, let alone direct conflicts with the Soviet Union are not the best strategy. It will rain and mother will get married. The Chinese government therefore adopted the "three no" principle of "not firing fire, not using force, and not conflicting with the masses" and handed over the right to choose to the masses themselves.

This is a large-scale smuggling activity organized by the government, an action of naked robbery of people.

In this way, in just three days and three nights, there were about 60,000 local people on the 3,000-kilometer border of Western Xinjiang. They carried their livestock, their families, and their domestic property, and rushed across the border and to the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union did even more. They used radio to guide them during the day and turned on searchlights at night to illuminate the path of smuggling for these people.

This is the less famous Ita incident.

Some people may say that more than 60,000 people have run away, which is nothing.

But you should know that at that time, the western Xinjiang was also very large and sparsely populated, so after three days and three nights of illegal migration, many county towns were really empty, with a sharp decline in population, and many towns and even the entire village were empty.

Without population, not only will the local economy collapse rapidly, but border security is also facing a crisis.

In order to ensure the peace of the border areas, the government established the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and began the "military farming" project in the 20th century. Many mainlanders also came to Xinjiang in various ways and settled here under the call.

There were more than 500 people in Kalayatur Village, but they all fled to the Soviet Union during the Ita incident, so the village became one of the settlements for the migrants.

Thirty years in Hedong, Thirty years in Hexi.

The common people who secretly crossed the border for temporary benefits actually did not live a good life after being used by the Soviet Union. They were originally intended to supplement their labor, so most of them were settled in Central Asia and worked in farms and factories.

In the blink of an eye, in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and many areas fell into chaos. Not to mention eating, even personal safety became a problem.

In 1992, Horgos Port.

The border soldiers saw another rush of people on the other side of the border.

These people are the stowaways and their descendants.

There were more than 30,000 of them, chanting slogans and shouting slogans.

"We are Chinese, we want to return home!"

They shouted and quarreled, but were eventually refused to enter the border by armed police soldiers.

You said you wanted to leave, you left and then left, but now you said you wanted to be patriotic, you were going to run back.

Do you guys open supermarkets and sell earth?

This is the afterglow of the Ita incident.

Therefore, since the 1960s, the villagers' structure of Kalayatuer Village has also changed. The villagers all come from all over the world, and they all work in a farm called "Yatur" to the south.

By the end of the 1980s, due to artificial cultivation, the deserts gradually invaded the south, and the operation of the farm was no longer sustainable. Life in the village was very difficult, and many villagers began to leave the village one after another. After more than ten years of change, there are only a few elderly people living in the village.

When the archaeological team came to Kalayatur, it was the time when villagers gradually moved out, so there were not many young laborers staying in the village.

Therefore, when the archaeological team was preparing to enter the desert west, although the job was relatively dangerous, because of the high temporary salary, many villagers signed up in hopes of being selected.

Finally, after Wen Mushan's selection, ten villagers were selected to follow the team westward. They were

Wang Tuda, whose original name was Wang Yuanliang, was 35 years old at the time. He was the oldest among the ten migrant workers, but he was strong and never lazy in his work. He was famous for his "stubbornness" in the village, and his brain circuit never had the option of turning.

Wang Yuanqing was the uncle and brother of Wang Tuda. He was twenty-two years old at the time and was a famous "little old man" in the village. He liked to lie on the stone mill at the entrance of the village all day long and chat with a group of old men to bask in the sun.

Yu Changfeng was twenty years old at the time. He wanted to join the army, but he was defeated by the village for three consecutive years, so he was depressed and was unsuccessful. He worked as a militia in the village for two years and felt it was boring, so he returned home.

He often practiced hand gestures in the village. He was very strong. Once he slapped the donkey cart boards at home and was beaten by his father.

Wu Wanchun, who was thirty years old at the time, was a person who was more scheming and was a "selling drug" who was selling fake medicines everywhere and speculating.

Lu Jiefang was twenty-five years old at the time and was the "laodian" in the village, the kind of person who couldn't farewell.

Zhang Suozhu was twenty years old at the time. He was a classmate of You Changfeng and signed up to join the army, but he was also eliminated. He often worked odd jobs in the county at that time. When Changfeng heard that there were such a good job as an archaeological team, he called him back from the county.

Qin Dabing was twenty-six years old at the time and was a substitute teacher in the village. There were not many students in the village back then. Because he had fewer classes, he took leave and wanted to earn some quick money.

Xia Qiang, twenty-seven years old, was a "crafted" man. He was a bricklayer and carpenter in the village. He often went to the city to work. He happened to be unemployed at home during that time, so he signed up for an archaeological team. He was the first person to be selected.
