The Fathers of Xinjiang

An excellent beginning to what looks like being an intriguing story.

It's difficult to find any constructive criticism to offer. Your written English is excellent, although you do have a few typos, most of which a spell-checker will miss (see below). Perhaps the pace is a little slow at times, and I would have liked to see more of Wu's wife: the son comes across as a distinctive character, and maybe Mrs Wu will also later in the story.

Typos that you might want to sort out (I'm a compulsive proof reader):
p 13: eth for the

p 14 won the day > on the day
p 23 Preliminary test - tests?

could tell him > could you tell him
asked him to all > ask him to call
would have confronted with > would have confronted him with
p 24 he small blaze > the small blaze
p 25 We saw > Wu saw
that one supported > that once supported

I wish you the best of luck with this - I am sure it will do well.
