'''Kurban Tulum''' ({{zh|库尔班・吐鲁木}}, 1883 - May 26, 1975), also called Uncle Kurban ({{zh|库尔班大叔}}), was a [[Uyghur people|Uyghur]] who lived in [[Keriya County|Keriya]] ({{zh|于田县}}) ), [[Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region]], [[China]].

He is said to have visited [[Urumuqi]], the political center of Xinjiang, by riding a [[donkey]], to show his appreciation of the [[People's Liberation Army]]'s role in the liberation of his area, was herded to [[Beijing]] by airplane, and met [[Mao Zedong]] on June 28, 1958. Today, the monuments of his shaking hands with Chairman Mao stand at the center of Keriya and in [[Union Square (Hotan)|Unity Square]] of Hotan, the center of his area.<ref>[http://www.centralasiatraveler.com/cn/xj/ky/kurban-tulum.html Kurban Tulum]</ref><br />

As a propaganda, a song "Where Are You Going, Uncle Kurban?" ({{zh|库尔班大叔您去哪儿？}}) was later made and a film "Uncle Kurban Visits Beijing" ({{zh|库尔班大叔上北京}}) was made in 2002. He is a well-known figure in China as his name also appears in the [[school textbooks]].<br />
