Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What is Myanmar most famous for?  Many people know the answer, which is various natural gemstones, especially jade.  On the streets of Yangon, a handsome young man carrying a big travel bag looked around curiously.

    "Boss, let's have a bowl of fish and rice noodle." Perhaps because he was hungry, the man walked into a reasonably clean shop and ordered loudly. Fish and rice noodle is widely considered to be Myanmar's national dish.  For a long time, the man didn't wait for anyone to come up to greet him, and he only attracted curious eyes.

    "Uh" The man with the backpack is of course Zhang Xiao. This idiot actually forgot that this is Myanmar and couldn't understand the Mandarin he spoke.  Zhang Xiao said goodbye to his family and returned to Haicheng. He settled his brothers and sent them to help at the shipping company. Then he took the visa that Guan Changjiang helped him apply for and hurried to Myanmar.  The first stop was Yangon. There was no other way. The only direct flight from Haicheng to Myanmar was Yangon. With the intention of experiencing the famous jade industry here, Zhang Xiao did not divert to other places to change flights.  Unfortunately, it was not the time for the jade public sale, so he could only see some scattered stone gambling shops, and there was no big scene for him to see.

    "Nyegongla" A woman wearing a sarong (long skirt-like trousers, a traditional Burmese dress worn by men, women and children) with long hair and curly buns greeted Zhang Xiao with her hands clasped together.

    Through Xiao Tiantian's translation, Zhang Xiao knew that this meant "good for you". However, Zhang Xiao could understand but could not speak Burmese. If he wanted to express the meaning of eating, he could only rely on movements. Women could understand what Zhang Xiao meant.  He ate and put it, but he didn¡¯t understand what Zhang Xiao wanted to eat.  In desperation, Zhang Xiao found a menu and pointed out his wishes on it. The woman finally understood, clasped her hands together, and retreated.

    The most important thing when traveling to Myanmar is to respect local religious customs.  Many places in Myanmar believe in Buddhism, and all kinds of etiquette and customs in life are full of strong Buddhist colors.  In the streets of Yangon.  Various birds can often be seen chasing and playing among the flowers and trees. The reason is that the locals have developed the custom of not killing animals.  They regard crows as "divine birds" and love them very much.  They also respect cows as gods and encounter "sacred cows" in the busy market.  Pedestrians and vehicles must give way.  Everyone, even foreign tourists, must take off their shoes when entering a pagoda or temple.  Zhang Xiao did some homework before coming, and when he saw the woman saluting with her hands together, she immediately returned the salute.

    Fish rice noodle is topped with a thick layer of fish and shrimp paste, chili, pickled bamboo shoots and diced meat. It tastes sour and spicy.  It tastes delicious and can be regarded as a delicacy. No wonder it is called a national dish.

    After filling his stomach, Zhang Xiao put his big bag on his back and started wandering around again.  He looked like he was traveling.  The hotel had been booked in China. Originally, Zhang Xiao wanted to walk around the streets alone, but due to poor communication, he had to return to the hotel in advance, hire a translator, and then start walking around the streets of Yangon again.

    "Xiaoqiang. Apart from the Shwedagon Pagoda, where else is there fun in Yangon?" Zhang Xiao did not rush to do business. He couldn't contact the drug dealer for a while, and the few slaves in the space couldn't explain the reason.  Every time I come to Myanmar to buy drugs, I have people blindfolded and I hope they can find a place, but there is no chance.  The translator Zhang Xiao hired was a Yangon college student named Zhang Qiang, who had the same surname as him. He could earn some living expenses by working as a translator. The two of them were sitting in a car, heading towards the world-famous scenic spot Daikin in Yangon.  The tower moved forward, and Zhang Xiao paid to rent the car from the hotel.

    "Sir, Myanmar is a country with a mild climate and beautiful natural scenery. There are lush dense forests, mist-shrouded mountains, and small rivers flowing quietly in the mountains. Everywhere reveals the naturalness and simplicity of this country.  Due to its geographical location, Myanmar has a pleasant climate all year round, and the attractive scenery here also changes with climate changes. To be honest, Myanmar is full of scenic spots." Zhang Qiang, a translator and tour guide, spared no effort to provide him with  countries are doing propaganda.

    The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is 100 meters high. It is said that the top of the tower is inlaid with more than 4,300 gems.  The entire tower is covered with more than 20,000 gold sheets, forming a magnificent appearance day and night.  Seeing such extraordinary decoration, Zhang Xiao couldn't understand why such a primitive place actually had a modern elevator leading to the entrance of the temple. It was really a big mistake.  After spending $5 to buy a ticket, someone will put a red tag on you to indicate that you are a foreigner. You are not allowed to wear shoes when visiting the temple. There is a special shoe storage area.

    Along the way, I met many devout men and women, as well as some chanting monks. When everyone met, they would bow to each other with their hands folded, which was very polite.  When the two of them visited the top of the tower with bare feet, they met a skinny old monk. After bowing to each other, Zhang Xiao wanted to leave.

    "Donor, please stay." The old monk stopped Zhang Xiao and refused to let him go.

    "I wonder what the master has to say?" Zhang Xiao felt confused when the old monk stopped him.

    "Little friend skeleton""It's strange, his eyes are bright, his skin is fair and delicate, he must be a martial arts wizard, his forehead is broad, and his ears are thick, he must be a person with great luck, but it's a pity it's a pity" The old monk looked at Zhang Xiao's face.  , first praised, and then shook his head.

    Zhang Xiao was very frightened. It turned out that the old monk in front of him had guessed too accurately. "Master, please don't teach me. I will definitely be rewarded generously."

    "My little friend's face is full of peach blossoms. I have a deep affinity with women, and they all have a tendency to turn into peach blossoms. I must pay more attention to it in the future. Emptiness is form, form is emptiness, Amitabha" After the old monk finished speaking, Shi Shiran left.  .

    What the old monk said later was very profound and Zhang Xiao didn't understand it, but the previous words were like enlightenment and gave Zhang Xiao a blow. Until now, Zhang Xiao was still happy that so many girls fell in love with him. Now that he thinks about it, he is still happy.  It's a bit like what the old monk said. If the relationship is not handled well, it may really be a big trouble for you.

    Not in the mood to wander around, he took Zhang Qiang to buy a few pairs of large candles and incense at the door, lit them at the incense burning place, and then donated 50,000 US dollars at the donation office. Anyway, now that he is here, he has received some guidance from others.  , it is still appropriate to offer some incense money.

    He didn¡¯t let Zhang Qiang take him to other places and ordered him to drive back.

    "Xiaoqiang, have you been to the Golden Triangle area?"

    "Mr. Zhang, why do you care about that place? It's an unknown place." Zhang Qiang had no intention of delving further into the topic.

    "I'm writing a book, a book about the people's living conditions in the Golden Triangle area, and I want to find a guide to go there." Zhang Xiao began his deception.

    The Golden Triangle refers to a triangular area located on the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. This area has long been rich in narcotics such as yam and is the world's main drug producing area, making the Golden Triangle famous around the world.  Zhang Xiao was asking about Shan State and Kachin State in northern Myanmar, which are drug cultivation areas in Myanmar.

    "I advise Mr. Zhang not to go there, it is too dangerous. Myanmar is the country with the largest poppy planting area and the largest output in the Golden Triangle. The people there are mainly ethnic minorities from Myanmar who have made a living by growing poppies for generations. In order to cooperate with the government  To fight against and protect their own ya plantation industry, local residents armed themselves. Among these armed forces, the largest is the Kun Sa Group on the former Myanmar-Thailand border. They have a powerful and military-trained army of nearly 3,000 people.  Armed Forces. This force is dressed in military uniforms, equipped with sophisticated weapons, and rich in combat experience. These people actually control the drug cultivation areas and do not allow strangers to enter." After all, Zhang Qiang is a native of Myanmar and knows more about the situation than Zhang Qiang.  Xiao is more specific.

    "No, I have to make a trip. Otherwise, how can I truthfully write about the real living conditions there? Xiaoqiang, you don't have to persuade me, but I think I still need a guide." Without a translator, it was difficult for Zhang Xiao to communicate with the locals.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I may not be able to help you. There is a war going on there right now, and I don't want to lose my life for a little money." Zhang Qiang shook his head like a rattle.

    ¡°Then if I give you one million, will you go?¡± Zhang Xiao tempted.

    ¡°Myanmar currency?¡±

    "No, it's US dollars. It's enough for you to spend a lifetime. You only need to take a risk to get it."

    "Mr. Zhang, since you are so rich, why do you want to write a book like this?" Zhang Qiang was not knocked down by Zhang Xiao's money offensive and was very calm-minded.

    "Don't worry about it. You can think of it as one of my major hobbies, an adventurous hobby."

    "Mr. Zhang, can you let me think about it? You know, this is very challenging for me." Faced with one million US dollars, Zhang Qiang was moved.

    "I can give you a day to think about it. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else." The matter is almost settled. Zhang Xiao doesn't believe that Zhang Qiang can leave such a large sum of money without making any profit.  Throwing a cigarette over, the two started puffing away.

    Kachin State is known as the northern gate of Myanmar. In 1962, the Kachin Army and the Kachin Organization emerged. In addition to the main towns and railway lines, the Kachin Army can be said to actually control Kachin State.  The trade mainly involves smuggling jade and drugs to mainland China.  The peace agreement signed with the Myanmar government in 1994 allowed the Kachin State Organization to control Kachin State, but there are still a few members of the Kachin State Army and the Kachin State Organization who are still dissatisfied, so the current political situation in Kachin State  Still unstable, Zhang Xiao and the others came here this time, but there was a war going on here.

    For convenience, Zhang Xiao bought the rented car directly and promised to give the car to Zhang Qiang after the trip to Kachin, which made Zhang Qiang very happy for a while.  (To be continued)
