Eliya, a performer with a mounted cultural troupe, has a happy family of four. He and his wife, a pharmacist at a local hospital, together with their son and daughter, live in Hejing County in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The two lovely children are the source of happiness for the family. The couple hope that their children will do what they love when they grow up, just like the couple themselves.
