An academic institute which is part of Jinan University of South China's Guangdong Province released on Thursday the first installment of the country's first oral history of victims and survivors of terrorism in China with the purpose to fill the research gap and let more know the stories of this special group and to get a more objective understanding of China's counter-terrorism efforts amid rumors spread by anti-China forces.

The Institute for Communication and Borderland Governance of Jinan University held a seminar on Thursday to release the report, during which researchers introduced that the research project titled "Victims and Survivors of Terrorism in China: An Oral History" began in 2021. So far, they have conducted interviews with over 60 witnesses of violent terrorist incidents happened in various places of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, including Hotan, Kashi, Turpan and Urumqi, collecting over one million words worth of written records and over 90 hours of audio and video materials.
