Uyghur businesswoman from Altay in Xinjiang. Starting with a laundry in 1976, she built a trading and property business in Urumqi and was once among the richest people in China.
Uyghur names usually pair a person's own name with the father's, with no family surname, so Chinese calls her 热比娅, her own name. The 热 'hot' is the usual spelling of Uyghur Ra- and Re-, as in the actress 热依扎.
