title: Israpafant

text:
Israpafant (Y-24180)  is a drug which acts as a selective antagonist for the platelet-activating factor receptor, and was originally developed for the treatment of asthma. Its chemical structure is a thienotriazolodiazepine, closely related to the sedative benzodiazepine derivative etizolam. However israpafant binds far more tightly to the platelet-activating factor receptor, with an IC50 of 0.84nM for inhibiting PAF-induced human platelet aggregation (compared to etizolam's IC50 of 998nM at this target), while it binds only weakly to benzodiazepine receptors, with a Ki of 3680nM. Israpafant has been found to inhibit the activation of eosinophil cells, and consequently delays the development of immune responses. It has also been shown to have anti-nephrotoxic properties, and to mobilize calcium transport.

title: Babar and Haris Suleman

text:
Babar Suleman (; December 27, 1958 – July 22, 2014) and Haris Suleman (; October 3, 1996 – July 22, 2014) were a Pakistani-American father-son pilot duo who were attempting to fly around the world in 30 days to promote education, when their single-engine plane crashed into the South Pacific Ocean near Pago Pago on 22 July 2014 on the final leg of their journey, killing Haris and leaving his father Babar, also on board, missing.

Had Babar and Haris completed the trip, they would have set the world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the world in a single-engine plane; Haris, at age 17, would have also become the youngest pilot to lead such a journey. Haris' body was retrieved during a search-and-rescue effort, however Babar was never found. Their mission was highlighted in the media, and over $3.1 million worth of donations were raised for their charity project following their death. In recognition of their work, Babar and Haris Suleman were posthumously conferred the Sitara-i-Imtiaz civil award by the government of Pakistan in 2015.

Background
The Sulemans belonged to a family of aviators. Their hometown is Okara, located in Punjab. Babar's elder brother, Rao Qamar Suleman, served as the Chief of Air Staff of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) from 2009 to 2012. His brother-in-law, Abid Rao is also a former air vice-marshal in the PAF and a defence analyst. Babar was married to Shamim Babar. The couple had two sons – Cyrus and Haris, and daughter Hiba. Haris was the youngest of the three children.

Babar Suleman
Babar studied at the PAF College Sargodha and aspired to join the PAF, but was unable to clear a medical fitness test. He then pursued a degree in engineering at the University of Engineering and Technology in Taxila and migrated to the United States in 1983–84 at age 25, shortly after marriage, to undertake postgraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin. After his graduation, the Sulemans settled in the New York metropolitan area and Babar worked in various jobs as a civil and construction engineer. They became naturalised American citizens soon after. In the early 1990s, they decided to move from the fast-paced life of New York and settled in the town of Plainfield, Indiana, where Babar took up a job with an energy company. It was to become their final destination, and where Haris was born in October 1996. Babar was well-known in the local community, partaking in multiple extracurricular activities and coaching the boys and girls' soccer teams at Plainfield High School. While in Plainfield, Babar also rediscovered his passion for flying. In 2004–05, he began taking flying lessons and obtained his private pilot's license. He later purchased his own aircraft and began taking consulting assignments around the country which required flying.

In early 2014, he expressed his interest to plan an around-the-world trip and began discussing the idea with other pilots, who encouraged him by mentioning how common such flights were. He also decided to dedicate the trip toward the cause of education in Pakistan, pledging to fundraise $1 million by flying around the world in 30 days. According to his family, he had often floated the idea of flying to his native Pakistan in his own plane, which was usually met with ridicule and dissuasion. Babar however appeared content with the plan and was not overly concerned with the safety implications that, as insisted by his family, such a long journey could bring, once remarking: "If it’s not your time, it’s not your time. But when it is – no matter how many iron curtains you hide behind, the grim reaper will get you. But if you go supporting a noble cause, you have made a point and achieved your goal." According to Babar, the purpose of the trip was not to make or break a record; in fact, it did not matter much to him if the trip took longer, as the key focus was on the "mission" which was to help develop schools in rural Pakistan.

Haris Suleman
Haris Suleman was born on 3 October 1996 in Plainfield, Indiana. He was a student at Plainfield High School. Haris was inspired by his father and wanted to learn flying like him too. At the age of eight, he began accompanying his father on his flights on their private plane. Thus, when the "opportunity arose to join [his father] to achieve a life-long dream, Haris jumped at the chance." At age 17, Haris finished flight school and attained his private pilot's license, logging around 50 hours of flying time prior to their world tour.

Flight
The father-son duo were raising money for a charity organisation based in Pakistan, The Citizens Foundation, which educates Pakistan's poorest children. They departed Indiana on 19 June 2014 and were attempting to fly around the world in 30 days – a 26,500-mile (42,673-km) journey with 25 stops in 15 countries – and with Haris on board, they hoped to break the world record for the youngest pilot-in-command in history to circumnavigate the Earth in a single-engine plane in 30 days. The Sulemans made pit stops in Iceland, London, Rome, Cairo and Al Ain, before landing in their native Pakistan, where they were given a warm reception and interviewed by local press. They then continued their journey en route to Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, Bali, Australia and Fiji, before landing in Pago Pago in American Samoa. During their stopovers, they visited the local sites and caught up with family and friends. Around 60 percent of their journey was over the vast waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.

The Sulemans were on the final leg of their trip, flying from Pago Pago to Hawaii via Kiribati in their Hawker Beechcraft Bonanza A36 (registration N20TC) – also planning a stop in California before returning to Indiana – when their plane crashed into the South Pacific Ocean on 22 July 2014 at 9.58 pm local time (23 July, 8:58 am UTC), only two days before their scheduled return home, shortly after taking off from Pago Pago International Airport. Prior to departure, the duo completed their preflight checks and Babar appeared satisfied with the weather conditions. The departure time was reportedly set for night so that they could take advantage of daylight hours when landing in Hawaii. Soon after takeoff, witnesses present at the airport reported seeing the aircraft bear right and then suddenly descend into the ocean before disappearing, instead of gaining altitude.

Aftermath
Following the crash, the US Coast Guard launched a search operation in the area and recovered Haris' body on 23 July at 12.40 am local time along with some debris. However, they were unable to locate Babar and the plane wreckage. After days of searching unsuccessfully, the operation was called off on 27 July. A memorial service and wreath laying ceremony was held at sea, at the site where the plane crashed. It was attended by members of the Suleman family. Haris Suleman was buried at Maple Hill Cemetery in Plainfield, Indiana on 1 August.

Their death was condoled by political leaders in Pakistan, including prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Sindh governor Ishratul Ibad and former president Asif Ali Zardari, who paid tribute by comparing Haris' efforts for education in Pakistan with those of teenage activist Malala Yousafzai. In the United States, Haris' feat was mentioned by André Carson during a proceeding of the Congress. On August 20, 2014, the government of Pakistan posthumously conferred the Sitara-i-Imtiaz, the third highest civil award in Pakistan, by president Mamnoon Hussain to both Babar and Haris Suleman in honour of their public service efforts. The ceremony was held on 23 March 2015.

Pakistani-American actor Faran Tahir announced he would produce a documentary on the lives of the Sulemans. At the time of their death, the Sulemans had raised about half of their target of $1 million that they were aiming to collect for their cause during the journey. A childhood friend of Babar's, Ashar Aziz, pledged the remaining half. A large amount of donations continued to pour in after their death, eventually fundraising up to $3.1 million. The money was used to fund two new school campuses in Okara and Islamabad. The Suleman family also set up a scholarship fund for students of Plainfield High School, where Haris studied.

title: The Tower of Silence (novel)

text:
The Tower of Silence is a novel by Indian author Phiroshaw Jamsetjee Chevalier, allegedly written in 1927 and recovered from a lost manuscript by historian Gyan Prakash. It was first published in complete form by HarperCollins in 2013.

Plot
An aerial photographer takes a photograph of a Parsi dakhma, also known as a tower of silence, a structure used to expose the bodies of the dead to carrion birds. This is deeply offensive to the Parsi population of Mumbai, and one of their number sets out to exact revenge for this insult. British detective Sexton Blake matches wits with him, and the two are soon engaged in a cat and mouse game across the city.

Background
The events of The Tower of Silence are based upon a real life incident: in August 1923 the British illustrated newspaper The Graphic printed an aerial photograph of a dakhma in Pune, taken from an angle that displayed the corpses inside. The photograph caused such outrage that the Secretary of State for India requested that the editor of The Graphic destroy both the photographic plate and negative.

Gyan Prakash, a professor of history at Princeton University, came across a portion of the manuscript for The Tower of Silence in the British Library while conducting research in 2001. Having read the first half of the novel, and unable to find any information about the author, Phiroshaw Jamsetjee Chevalier, he began a search for the rest of the text. Despite the book never having been published, Prakash was able to locate a complete version of the manuscript in the Secretariat Library in Mumbai three years later.

Mark Hodder, an expert of Sexton Blake, doubts Prakash's claim.

Reception
Much of the coverage of the release of The Tower of Silence focussed on the unique nature of its discovery and publication. In relation to the novel itself, Mumbai Boss stated that it was only an average detective story, but that "it keeps you hooked thanks to the fantastically quirky character that is Beram and the way the book captures the sentiment of the Parsi community at the time."

Im Dae-won (; born August 16, 1976, in Imsil, Jeollabuk-do) is a retired amateur South Korean Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's featherweight category. He produced a remarkable tally of three career medals, including a silver in the 55-kg division at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France, and also finished seventh at the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing his nation South Korea. Having worked as a full-time employee for Samsung Sports, Im trained throughout his sporting career as a member of its wrestling team under head coach Ahn Han-bong.

Im highlighted his sporting career at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships in Créteil, France, where he picked up a silver medal in the 55-kg division, losing 5–6 to three-time Olympic veteran Dariusz Jabłoński of Poland. Because of his unprecedented success, Im emerged as one of the top favorites to win a medal for the Olympic Games, and went on to grab another silver at the Asian Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan by the following year.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Im qualified for the South Korean squad, as a 28-year-old, in the men's 55 kg class. Earlier in the process, he placed second behind Jablonski at the World Championships and guaranteed a spot on South Korea's Olympic wrestling team by obtaining a silver medal from the Asian Championships. He dominated the prelim pool by pulling into a 4–4 tie over Kazakhstan's Nurbakyt Tengizbayev, and dismantling another Olympic veteran Marian Sandu of Romania with a 3–6 verdict to secure him a spot for the next round. As he faced off against eventual Olympic silver medalist Geidar Mamedaliyev of Russia, Im could not hold him tightly to score enough points and lost the match 3–0, placing seventh in the final standings.

title: 1st of the Month Vol. 1

text:
1st of the Month Vol. 1 is the first EP by American rapper Cam'ron. The EP was released on July 1, 2014, by Killa Entertainment.

Background
In October 2013, Cam'ron announced that he would release an EP and an episode of his web series every month starting on January 1, 2014. In February 2014, he gave an update on the EP plans, saying: "I got the First of the Month project coming out probably next month. Dame put together the A-Trak collaboration which is called Federal Reserve. me and Smoke DZA got a project going on. It’s like five different projects, basically what we’re doing now is just trying to figure out the timing for everything. It’s probably 150 new songs done." In an April 2014, interview with Mass Appeal, he explained why he decided to release a series of EP's, saying: "Just setting everything up. Music has changed and it’s always fun, but I like to make money while I’m making music, so I just had to figure out a new strategy. Things are changing and if you don’t change with the times you gon get stuck in the past. I’ve been working on this thing called The First of the Month. I’m putting out an EP every month with a 30-minute episode so you’re not waiting a year or more for the next album."

In May 2014, in an interview with MTV News, he spoke about the features on the EP's saying: "The people that’s gonna be on this project is Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Estelle and Gunplay, so far." He also announced the first EP would be released on July 1, 2014, saying: "The first one is July 1 for the visual, July 3 for the music. And we’ll put it out — the visual — every first of the month. So, August 1 will be another visual, September 1. And then, whatever the first Tuesday is of every month, we’ll be doing the music, as well." On June 26, 2014, the music video was released for "Funeral". On July 1, 2014, the first episode of the web series was released along with the EP. On July 2, 2014, the music video was released for "Put It In the Sky" featuring Un Kasa.

Critical reception

1st of the Month Vol. 1 was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. David Inkeles of XXL gave the album an L, saying "If First Of The Month is mainly more of the same, you might be wondering why, then, should the project earn a listen? Well for one, at only 5 tracks deep there are worse ways to spend your time. But the project deserves a shot for the same rationale behind why the good folks in Charlie Rangel’s district voted him to go to Congress one last time: because we love the same old Cam; and like those voters, we listeners know what to expect when it comes to Cam’ron, and what that is, is pretty damn good and entertaining." Sheldon Pearce of HipHopDX gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying "The 1st Of The Month EP feels like Cam’ron working his way back into album shape; however, and it is a marked achievement to take two features from perennial placeholders on the Dipset undercard and turn them into salvageable records. The Un Kasa-led “Put It In The Sky” is the most anthemic song on the EP with a chanting refrain that is rousing. It is a prime example of Cam at his showy best, blurring the lines between fact and fiction, confessions and quips."

title: My Brilliant Life

text:
My Brilliant Life () is a 2014 South Korean drama film starring Song Hye-kyo and Gang Dong-won. It was co-written and directed by E J-yong based on the 2011 novel My Palpitating Life by Kim Ae-ran.

My Brilliant Life won the Third Place Audience Award at the 17th Udine Far East Film Festival in 2015. My Brilliant Life was released under CJ Entertainment in Korea on September 3, 2014. The film received official wide release in China on March 13, 2015.

Plot
Immature and clumsy Dae-soo and beautiful but foul-mouthed Mi-ra were both seventeen-year-old teenagers when Mi-ra became pregnant. As a result of familial rejection, Dae-soo decides to run away from home and care for his family on his own. Their son Ah-reum was born, but he was diagnosed with the extremely rare genetic disorder progeria, which makes its recipient age prematurely and rapidly. Years later, Ah-reum is sixteen, but his body is that of an eighty-year-old man.  The family faces the fact that he may not live to see his 18th birthday. Sensing that he doesn't have much time left, Ah-reum writes a story about how his young parents fell in love and how he came to be, hoping to give it as a gift to them on his seventeenth birthday. At the same time, Dae-soo and Mi-ra struggle to raise money for Ah-reum's hospital expenses and accept the reality that their son will not be with them much longer. To cover costs, Dae-soo takes up work as a taxi-driver and Mi-ra works at a laundry. Dae-soo struggles to balance work and spending limited time with his son. Hearing the story of Ah-reum, a television crew searches out the family to make a documentary program about Ah-reum and his condition. After the documentary is screened, Ah-reum begins to receive emails from another child who is sick, a young girl whose messages comfort him and provide hope as he tries to recount the love story of his parents as his final gift to them.

Development and Production
My Brilliant Life marks director E J-yong’s return to commercial filmmaking after spending previous years focusing on low budget experimental works such as Actresses (2009) and Behind the Camera (2013). In a 2014 interview with South China Morning Post, actors Song Hye-kyo and Gang Dong-won spoke about their personal acting backgrounds and their interest in director E J-yong’s personal career up to the film. About their decisions to sign on to My Brilliant Life, they stated that the script “read as more restrained, but nevertheless thought-provoking on the subjects of family and loss.”

Principal photography began in 2013. Early on in production, director E J-yong recognized the need for advanced makeup techniques and special effects to age Jo Sung-mok, the child actor for Ah-Reum. After months of research on costume makeup and its practitioners, Director Lee flew his makeup crew to Hollywood to study under special effects makeup artist Greg Cannom, whose work on films such as Fan (2016) and Bicentennial Man (1999) has earned him nine Academy Award nominations and three wins. After training in aging techniques and collaborating with Cannom to construct a detailed makeup process for the character of Ah-reum, the makeup crew returned to Korea to begin initial filming. On the collaboration with Greg Cannom and the film's usage of special effects makeup, Director E J-yong stated that, “the film could stand its ground against Hollywood flicks.”

To prepare for the later scenes of the aged Ah-reum, Jo Sung-mok underwent a daily 5-hour long makeup process to create wrinkles and age spots. The techniques used by the makeup artists was adapted from those used in the award-winning U.S. film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, on which Greg Cannom served as head of the makeup department.

title: Tecpancaltzin Iztaccaltzin

text:
Tecpancaltzin Iztaccaltzin was the ninth Tlatoani, ruler, of the Toltec Empire. He began his reign when his mother, Xihuiquenitzin Ziuhcaltzin died in about 833. Dates in Toltec history are not entirely accurate, as the Toltec calendar is not completely understood.

In 843, a Toltec man named Papantzin invented a type of sugar made from the Agave plant. He and his daughter Xochitl brought the sugar as a gift to Tecpancaltzin Iztaccaltzin. Tecpancaltzin fell in love with Xochitl, but she did not share his feelings. He kept her in his palace not allowing her to leave. He convinced Papantzin not to help her by telling him that when Tecpancaltzin died, Xochitl would be the ruler of the Toltecs. They had a son named Meconetzin.

Xochitl threatened to leave in 846 but Tecpancaltzin managed to keep her there by promising Meconetzin would be the next Tlatoani.

Tecpancaltzin Iztaccaltzin was dethroned in 877 or 885, but was probably still alive.
After this Xochitl became empress, and after her death Maeconetzin became emperor.

title: GovHack

text:
GovHack is a significant annual open government and open data hackathon, attracting over 15,000 participants since 2009. First run as a small Canberra-based event, it quickly expanded to an international competition with simultaneous events taking place in major cities across Australia and New Zealand each year, with virtual events for remote and international participants. Since its inception, over 2,500 projects have been published by participants to demonstrate the practical value of open data.

Format
The competition requires small teams of competitors to produce a project using open data within 46 hours, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The format of the project is unspecified, but web applications, mobile apps, and visualisations are common, with games and art also being encouraged.

Although competitors may use any available open data, certain prize categories mandate the use of certain datasets, such as "Best Geoscience Award" or "Best Use of Taxation Statistics Award". Typically, participating sponsors and government departments release new datasets for the competition each year.

Each team must produce evidence of work, such as source code, and are judged on a three-minute video they must produce about their project. Teams are required to publish their projects using an open license.

History
GovHack was first run at the Australian National University in 2009, funded by the Australian "Gov 2.0 Taskforce".In 2012, GovHack became an annual event and was run in two locations. During the early years of the competition, the Australian chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation assisted with the operation of the event, with Pia Andrews as head of the national GovHack operations team.

From 2013 to 2017 GovHack rapidly expanded to become an international competition run throughout Australia and New Zealand, with virtual events for remote and international participants.

2014 marked the first annual GovHack Red Carpet Awards to celebrate the winners, sponsors, and volunteers of GovHack, taking place at Brisbane City Hall.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, GovHack was run entirely virtually. As a result, participation dropped significantly from 1500 participants in 2019, to less than half of that for the following years.

title: McLeod Russel

text:
McLeod Russel India Ltd is an Indian tea company. It is currently the world's largest tea growing company.

It is part of the Williamson Magor Group. It has Thirty One tea estates in the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam and Two  in the Dooars region of West Bengal, three factories in Vietnam and six estates in Uganda.
McLeod Russel produces more than 90 million kilograms of quality black tea every year which reaches millions of tea lovers worldwide.

History
The tale of McLeod Russel began in 1869 when Captain J.H. Williamson and Richard Boycott Magor, two Calcutta-based Englishmen, formed a partnership firm, Williamson Magor & Company, to service the requirements of tea estates in Assam. Brij Mohan Khaitan, who had a long-standing relationship with the Company by virtue of being the principal supplier of Packaging Materials and Fertilizers, was invited to join the Board of Directors in 1963. Mr. B. M. Khaitan eventually became the Managing Director in 1964 and took the Company to new heights.

Over the next half century, the McLeod Russel group has grown and acquired a number of well-established and internationally recognised tea companies, including Williamson Tea Assam, Doom Dooma Tea Company, Moran Tea Company in India, Phu Ben Tea Company in Vietnam and Rwenzori Tea Investments.

It has another subsidiary in Uganda, Mcleod Russel Uganda Limited which cultivates, manufactures and markets tea. It was formerly known as James Finlay (Uganda) Limited. The company was founded in 1994 and is based in Kampala.

Shortly before the death of B.M. Khaitan in 2019, his younger son Aditya Khaitan, has taken over as chairman of McLeod Russel.

Operations
The company's corporate office is situated at 4, Mangoe Lane, Surendra Mohan Ghosh Sarani, Kolkata. As the world's largest producer of bulk tea, McLeod Russel has two state-of-the-art tea blending units - the Nilpur Blending Unit, in Assam and the Dubai Blending Unit, in Dubai. Both these blending units are extremely well-equipped with leading-edge technology, high-end machinery and an experienced staff.

Since 2018 McLeod has to deal with a liquidity crisis. It is reported that in the company's Tea Estate in Assam "most of the working community lives in penury even today".

title: Lee Na-lae

text:
Lee Na-lae (also Lee Na-rae, ; born January 1, 1979, in Incheon) is a retired amateur South Korean freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's lightweight category. She produced a remarkable tally of five career medals, including a silver in the 55-kg division at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and then finished seventh at the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing her nation South Korea. Lee also trained throughout her sporting career as a member of Incheon City Hall's wrestling club, under her personal coach Ahn Seung-mun.

Lee highlighted her wrestling career when South Korea hosted the 2002 Asian Games in Busan. She picked up a silver medal in the inaugural women's 55 kg class, losing to her Japanese rival Saori Yoshida on technical superiority. She also boasted a bronze at the 2003 Asian Wrestling Championships in Delhi, India, but ended the same fate with another silver in a rematch against Yoshida by the following year, repeating their final in the process from the Asian Games.

When women's wrestling made its debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Lee qualified for her South Korean squad in the  55 kg class. Earlier in the process, she captured a gold medal over Italy's Diletta Giampiccolo from the inaugural Olympic Qualification Tournament in Tunis, Tunisia, and placed second behind Yoshida at the Asian Championships in Tokyo, Japan to guarantee her spot on South Korea's Olympic wrestling team. In the prelim pool, Lee lost her opening match 2–5 to France's Anna Gomis, but rallied her campaign to pin and upset Greece's Sofia Poumpouridou in front of the home crowd inside Ano Liossia Olympic Hall. Despite missing a spot for the semifinals, Lee seized her opportunity to determine a fifth spot against China's Sun Dongmei, but fell short in their classification match with a close 3–4 decision. Lee initially placed eighth in the final standings, but later upgraded to seventh, as Puerto Rico's Mabel Fonseca was disqualified from the tournament after being tested positive for stanozolol.

title: Kyrgyz in China

text:
The Kyrgyz are a Turkic ethnic group and one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. Mainly distributed in Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture, in the southwest of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, a few Kyrgyz communities reside in neighboring Uqturpan, Aksu, Yarkant, Yengisar, Taxkorgan and Pishan. According to the fifth national census of the People's Republic of China conducted in 2000, there are 160,875 Kyrgyz people in China.

History
At the end of the 3rd century BC, The Xiongnu conquered the Kyrgyz ancestors who lived around the Khyargas Lake and were called "Ge Kun". At the beginning of the seventh century AD, the Kyrgyz people were ruled by the Turks and were called "Qigu". After the Tang Empire defeated the Turks, they belonged to the Protectorate of Yanran. Later, it was conquered by the Huihe Khanate, and it was called Xigas. In the 9th century, Xigas gradually became stronger, and in 840 AD defeated and killed the khan Zhugluob, and established the Xigas Khanate in the Tuva area. In the 10th century, with the rise of Khitan, Xigas became its vassal state. In the Yuan dynasty, the Kyrgyz people were called Qierjisi or Jilijisi. At the end of the 16th century, the Junggar tribe in Mongolia gradually became stronger, and at the beginning of the 17th century, most of the Kyrgyz people became the tribes and territories of the Junggar.

The Kyrgyz traditional domain between the expanding Russia and the Qing Empire was gradually attacked by foreign forces, and shrank with the annexation of Russia and the Qing dynasty. In the autumn of 1703, most of the four Kyrgyz tribes of Tuva, Yezer, Aletir and Aletisar in the Yenisei River in Siberia moved to the Issyk-Kul region and the Fergana Basin on the edge of the Qing Empire. and the nearby mountainous areas, the Qing dynasty documents called the Kyrgyz as Brut, and recorded the Kyrgyz tribes as Sayak, Sarbagash, Buku, Hosuochu, Qitai, Salou, Edegna, Monkordoer, Qilik, Baszi, Chongba Gash, Hushqi, Yuevash, Tiyit, Naiman, Shibchak, Neugut, Suletu, etc., The chiefs of the Kirgiz tribes who belonged to the Qing dynasty were given the tops of the second to seventh grades, which were under the exclusive control of the counselor and minister of Kashgar, and the general Yili sent the leading ministers to inspect once every two years in the area close to Ili.

The attitude of the Kyrgyz towards Russia was initially neutral as their first interaction with the Russian Empire was in the context of the Russo-Kazakh war, before Russia expanded into traditional Kyrgyz territory, the Kazakhs had begun to settle the Kyrgyz A series of raids were carried out, so the Kyrgyz were happy to gain an ally militarily superior to the Kazakhs, especially the Russian raids in the 1850s on the Kokand Khanate, which was hostile to the Kyrgyz clans. But in 1860 Cossacks from the Russian Empire sacked the Kyrgyz city of Bishkek and annexed the area for the Russian Empire, and by 1865 Kyrgyzstan was completely subordinate to Russia.

With the increasing conflict between Russian settlers who move into traditional Kyrgyz lands and nomadic Kyrgyz people, the Kyrgyz people are sure that China will defeat Russia in the coming war due to China's greater benefits to the Kyrgyz people compared to Russia, Many Kyrgyz people moved to China, and Russia also believed that the Kyrgyz people would be the cause of a potential conflict with China, and began to drive the Kyrgyz people to China, causing their population in China to continue to increase. In 1916, in order to avoid purges/massacres by the Russians, about 150,000 Kyrgyz people fled to China on a large scale, moving to Yili in the north, Aksu, Ushi, Kashgar, and Jiashi in the south.

As a tribal alliance composed of various tribal groups, each Kyrgyz tribal group has its own leader. After Xinjiang was established as a province in 1884 and the Kyrgyz area was completely incorporated into the administrative management system in the 1930s, the traditional Kyrgyz nationality The clan and tribal system began to disintegrate gradually, but the influence of tribal concepts and tribal leaders still existed, which was more obvious in pastoral areas. On July 14, 1954, the Kyzilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture was announced.

Culture

The majority of the Kyrgyz in China are herders, mainly raising camels and sheep. Their language and culture is very similar to the Kazakhs in China. They speak the Kyrgyz language as their mother tongue. The Kyrgyz people living in Aktao and other counties also commonly speak Uyghur. Most of the Kyrgyz in Tekes and Zhaosu speak Kazakh and Chinese while many Kyrgyz who live in Tacheng and Emin often use or combine Kazakh, Mongolian and Chinese.

Common dress for Kyrgyz men includes black or blue sleeveless long gowns made out of camel hair, sheep skin, or cotton cloth (in the summer). This robe is usually worn over a white embroidered shirt and leather trousers. Both genders wear leather boots but women's boots are embroidered as well. Kyrgyz women commonly wear a wide collarless jacket and vest over a long dress. Clothing accessories include leather belts which nomadic Kyrgyz tend to hang a flint (to start a fire) or a small knife on. Women routinely wear silver chains in their hair. Both the men and women wear a small corduroy skullcap which is sometimes placed over a high-topped leather hat. Women occasionally wear a bright headscarf over their cap.

The Kyrgyz people first believed in shamanism. By the 18th century, most of the Kyrgyz adopted Islam, and they combined many elements of shamanism and primitive beliefs. The Kut belief was the primitive religion of the Kyrgyz people. Many of the Kyrgyz in Tacheng and Emin are influenced by the Mongolian people and believe in Tibetan Buddhism.

The traditional handicraft industries of the Kyrgyz include wood ware making, metal processing, textile embroidery, etc. They are also famous for making felt products. There are many kinds of grass weaving, and most of them are made of Achnatherum splendens. The villages in the rural areas are mainly flat-roofed houses with brick and wood structures, and the pastoral areas use white felts to cover the yurts. The epic "Manas" occupies the primary place in Kyrgyz folk literature. The Kyrgyz people call the dance "Biyi", and the traditional musical instruments include Kumuzi, Ozkumuzi, Keyak, Qiuur, Doul, Bas, and Bandaru.
