"Pomegranate flowers are blooming, so beautiful!" It is the spring season. In Wangxianpo Community, Minzhu Road, Xingning District, Nanning City, several children are playing under two pomegranate trees. One of the two trees is called "Tongxin Pomegranate Tree", and the other is called "National Unity Family Tree". The community resident Asyamu Aizezi planted the pomegranate tree. In the 21 years of living in Guangxi, Asyamu has integrated into this land and forged deep and sincere friendship with her neighbors. Everyone affectionately calls her "Asguri".

"Over the years, I have received the help of many Guangxi brothers and sisters, especially when I encountered difficulties, everyone extended a helping hand." In 2003, Asguri came to Guilin from Yining County to work as a chef in a Xinjiang restaurant. Later, she rented a stall to sell raisins, walnuts and other dried fruits during the day and barbecue at night. "I was very busy at the beginning of my business. The landlord's family often took care of my children. On holidays, we sat together like family members to share food." Asguri recalled. The neighbors in the community took great care of Asguri. As time passed, she had a group of bosom sisters. Later, she opened a restaurant with signature dishes such as Zhufan and Dapanji, which are famous locally for their unique flavor. Asguri is warm and hospitable, and the business of the store is getting better and better.

In 2015, Asguri opened a Xinjiang flavor restaurant in Nanning, covering an area of 300 square meters, called "Asguri Food Store". "Now my shop is popular online, and many local people or tourists in Guangxi will come to my shop to taste Xinjiang food." She proudly told reporters that customers can enjoy Xinjiang songs and dances while tasting food in the shop, and also wear Adles silk clothing for free to take photos.

Today, there are more than 20 employees in Asguri's store.

"Although the business is good now, the store was once faced with operating difficulties. It was with the help of community cadres and residents that I overcame the difficulties." Asguri said that a few years ago, community staff helped her solve many problems in business through vocational training, policy solutions and other ways.

"People of all ethnic groups in the community will help each other no matter who is in trouble. Asguri is hardworking and kind-hearted, and we all like her," said Zhao Liufen, secretary of the Party Committee of Wangxianpo Community.

Because life is full of warmth and love, Asguri led her staff to actively participate in public welfare activities and pass on love and warmth to people in need. In the nursing home, she and her staff often accompany the elderly living alone to give care; In her restaurant, a rest area is specially provided for sanitation workers, providing free tea and special snacks; In the countryside, they care about the left behind children who lack the companionship of their parents and bring gifts; In the face of natural disasters, she gave generously to deliver urgently needed materials to the people in the disaster area.

In 2015, Asguri became attached to Xiao Li (a pseudonym), an orphan of the Yao nationality, and has funded Xiao Li's studies since he went to junior high school. "I regard Xiao Li as my daughter. She calls me Guli's mother. Xiao Li and my two daughters are like sisters," said Asguri. As time goes by, they spend countless warm and unforgettable times in each other's company.

"My happy life today is inseparable from the help and support of my brothers and sisters from all ethnic groups in Guangxi. Therefore, I will try my best to help more people." Ashguri's kindness stems from her deep gratitude.

"When my friends and I went to the Nongzhu teaching spot in West Village, Yalong Township, Dahua Yao Autonomous County, I was impressed by the clear and bright eyes of the children." Ashguri knew the importance of learning knowledge for children, and sent comforts such as clothes, stationery and snacks to the children there for five consecutive years to warm them with practical actions, "I believe that knowledge can open the door to a new world for children and enable them to realize their personal dreams and build their own hometown."

In 2022, Asguri joined the Communist Party of China with honor. This year, she was awarded the title of "Model Individual of National Unity and Progress" by Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

When the breeze blew, pomegranate flowers bloomed quietly on the branches. "Every important festival in our community has a celebration, and residents will come to participate in it. They will also wear the national costumes I provide, and we will celebrate the festival together, just like a family." Asguri said that she plans to take the children back to Xinjiang for tourism this summer vacation. "Xinjiang is becoming more and more beautiful, and every time I return to my hometown, there will be new surprises, and I am eager to set foot on the familiar land again." (Song Haibo)
