The residents of various ethnic groups living on Pingding hill resumed their peaceful and harmonious life after the deadly July 5 riot, thanks to the peacekeeping police force who managed to maintain ethnic unity and social stability here by helping locals recognize the truth and publicising the ethnic policy with their sincerity.[Li Ziheng/Xinhua]
