Accordion makes an important part of people's life in Tacheng of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a city where diversified cultures meet and mingle.

Daowuran, an accordion repairer, has ardent love towards the instrument. To collect and learn about different accordions, Daowuran has been doing part-time jobs in pubs while traveling around since 1991. He even traveled to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan for accordions.

Daowuran set up a studio in his basement to repair accordions. "Summer is the most pleasant season in Tacheng. My friends and I are going to play the accordions, sing and dance in the beautiful season." he said.
