The Effects of Inland Boarding School Education on Xinjiang Students and Their Families examines the prolonged period of detachment has impacted the relationship between parents and their children who have attended Xinjiangban in eastern China.

The findings also hint at a major social change to come to China, specifically how the ancient concept of family affection is currently under threat.
