Emperor Hui of Han (210 BC–188 BC) was the second emperor of the Han Dynasty in China.
Emperor Hui's wife was Empress Zhang Yan (張嫣), a niece of his by his sister Princess Luyuan; their marriage was the result of insistence by Empress Dowager Lü and was a childless one.
Emperor Hui died in the autumn of 188 BC of an unspecified illness.

 Han Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Han Chinese is a subset of the Chinese nation (Zhonghua minzu).
Han Chinese speak many varieties of Chinese spoken languages which are generally labelled as different Chinese dialects although the difference among them can be as great as seen in many European languages.
Today, Hui Chinese are considered a separate nationality, but aside from their practice of Islam, little distinguishes them from the Han; two Han from different regions might differ more in language, customs, and culture than a neighboring Han and Hui.

 Ladies of the Court of Emperor Huan of Han, Rafe de Crespigny Publications, Faculty of Asian Studies, ANU
Liu Zhi 劉志, known posthumously as Emperor Huan of the Later Han dynasty 漢桓帝, was born in 132 and came to the throne in 146 under the regency of the Empress-Dowager Liang Na and her brother Liang Ji.
Emperor Huan took the cap of manhood at the beginning of 148, aged sixteen sui, but there was no real change to the political system of control: the Dowager justified her continued maintenance of power by emergencies of the frontier and internal rebellion, and Liang Ji controlled the troops and officials at the capital.
Emperor Huan, indeed, had gathered a vast harem, alleged to number five or six thousand women, with servants and slaves, and ministers were protesting that the cost was becoming a major strain on the finances of the empire.

The Hui are unique among the fifty-six officially recognized nationalities of China in that religion (Islam) is their only unifying category of identity.

As many of you know the Hui are the people of China who look and speak like the Han (Chinese proper) of their local region, but happen to be Muslim.
The Hui interaction with the non-Muslim majority, their status as a nation (they are termed the "Hui nation") within a nation, is I think relevant to contemporary issues outside of China.
During the 19th century there were Muslim (Hui) rebellions in northwest China as well as Yunnan, and that was also a period when western influences, that is, from the Islamic lands of Turkestan, Persia and the Arab world, became a stronger force in Hui practice and belief.
