The Hui (pronounced “h-way”) are renowned as sharp businessmen. A Chinese proverb from the 1800s states, “A Chinese awake is not the equal of a Hui sleeping.” They worship in thousands of mosques throughout East Asia.
The Hui people-group numbering more than 14 million constitutes the largest Chinese Moslem UPG (Unreached People Group) in East Asia. They are found throughout Asia, with about 98% in East Asia with concentrations in the Northwest and Southwest regions.
Go to a mosque in a Hui area on a Friday, and what greet your eyes would be a sea of white caps of Hui men gathered for their Friday prayers.
This people group is known by the Chinese character “回”(pronounced “hui”), written with one square within a bigger one, that refers to their Islamic faith. It means also “to return”.
Try to look for a Christ-follower amongst them? You can scarcely find one. If there is one, he is often hidden, with no easy access to fellowship with other Christ-followers of Hui background.
