The Yunnan Najiaying Hui people’s struggle to defend the mosque has similar historical precedents. In 1974, the conflict between the CCP and the Hui people in Yunnan escalated, and thousands of Hui people Muslims went to Kunming to protest the closure of mosques during the Cultural Revolution and demand religious freedom. The Hui people confronted the government and ended with the armed suppression of the PLA. A total of about 1,600 Muslims were killed, of which 866 came from Shadian, Yunan province.
