One family, 45 members and seven ethnic groups - this is the family Bai Xiuzhen has seen grown.

Bai herself is from Hui ethnic group. She and her husband, who passed away, have 12 children. After their children's inter-ethnic marriages, the family of four generations are now composed of Chinese, Hui, Kazak, Russian, Uygur, Daur and Tatar people.

Of course, such a special family in Tacheng city, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is a local star that has attracted tons of media coverage worldwide since 2006, when it was first reported by the media.
