Living in the Taklamakan Desert brings daily challenges, from high temperatures to awful sandstorms. For those born and raised in this area, sports u to be a dream. Now things are changing. When the 29th Farmers' and Herders' Games were held in Yutian County, Xinjiang in April, local athletes took part in competitions alongside the desert. Among them, a group of local women farmers s like stars in the sky, and Aygul Metohti was one of them.

In the past, Aygul never i playing sport with friends in her village. Villagers had no all-weather roads or mobile phone signals(信号). Visiting a neighbour often meant walking more than 10 kilometres across sandy hills. In 2019, the local g helped the whole village move to a better living place as part of a poverty relief(脱贫) programme. Now, the village has tidy rows of brick houses with electricity, natural gas, the internet and green trees around. A new hospital and a primary school provide a high level of s for everyone in the village.
On the school playground, Aygul leads the village's first all-women Maire Ball team in their training period before the games. Maire Ball was listed as an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) in 2021. With one s from Aygul at her gate, teammates, also neighbours, gather on the playground to practise. Three years ago, the newly formed team made everyone s by winning the third place in the women's Maire Ball competition at the 26th County Games.
B medals, the sport has also helped form a fresh relationship. After matches, players share farm work, ride into town, and exchange gifts bought online. Encouraged by Aygul's team, younger women in the village now ask h they can play the sport.
"On the field, we move as one; off it, we are sisters," Aygul said. "Life here can grow richer only by working c with each other." In a place which was lonely in the past, playing sport is developing communication and new chances among the moving sands.
