In Urumqi, a group of women basketball players have formed a basketball club named Jiang Lai. The club members are individuals from ethnic groups such as Han, Uygur, Kazak, Mongolian and Hui. According to Wang Na, the founder of the club, the name Jiang Lai means the team comes from Xinjiang. In the past few years, its membership has grown from 15 to nearly 100. With their growing influence, they organized a series of women's basketball tournaments. "I hope that through our efforts, more and more girls who really love basketball or want to start to play it could join us," said Wang. [Xinhua/Wang Fei]
