"Bangbangbang."

The office door was knocked.

"Come in."

Pushing the door?20? The one who came to the office director Ma Xiaobo.

"ambassador."

"Xiaobo, sit." Mu Yang pointed to the seat in front of his desk and said.

"The Ministry has just sent a fax. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially responded to Myanmar. Minister Yang will officially visit Myanmar on July 12 for 4 days. This is a fax for the document sent by the Ministry. Please take a look." Ma Xiaobo put a document on Muyang's desk.

Mu Yang picked it up and read it carefully. In fact, Minister Yang mentioned this when he called Mu Yang a few days ago that he would visit Myanmar in the near future.

Japan is moving quickly and is carrying out diplomatic work towards the new Myanmar government. Foreign Minister Nakason is urging Wen to visit Myanmar. China has always attached great importance to its neighbor, so how could it not have such arrangements?

"Xiaobo, inform several counselors, military officer Ling Zhenggong, to attend a meeting in the conference room. You are responsible for recording and studying the reception issues of Minister Yang's visit to Myanmar." Mu Yang ordered.

In the embassy conference room, Mu Yang said:

"At the invitation of Myanmar Foreign Minister Wu Wengna Manglun, Minister Yang is scheduled to start an official visit to Myanmar on the 12th of this month. During the visit, Minister Yang will hold talks with Foreign Minister Wu Wengna Manglun and meet with the leaders of Myanmar."

"The meaning of the ministry is that Minister Yang has several itineraries, meeting with Wu Wengna Maumen, meeting with Ding Naideng, General Secretary of the Gongfa Party of Myanmar, General Aung Lai, Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar National Defense Forces, and meeting with Myanmar President Sai Mokang."

"And this time Minister Yang will go to worship the cemetery of the Expeditionary Army, which is something he has never seen before. The Ministry asked our embassy to arrange the worship location and itinerary. We need to prepare for this, especially for safety work. Now let's discuss the work arrangements."

Mu Yang said that everyone had no feelings about the previous itineraries because they were all normal itineraries. Then, the chief's security work and the meeting arrangements were enough. However, there was no preparation for worshiping the cemetery of the Expeditionary Army.

Counselor Zhang Sheping said: "Ambassador, it is easy to arrange to meet with several Myanmar leaders, but I don't know if you know the current situation of the Expeditionary Army cemetery."

Hearing Zhang Sheping stammering, Mu Yang realized that there might be something wrong with it. "If you have any questions, please tell me."

"There is no cemetery, and the heroes of the 100,000 Expeditionary Force have no place to settle down." Zhang Sheping said this and said in a low tone.

"China, Britain, the United States, and Myanmar jointly fought with Japan in Myanmar. Britain has three cemeteries in Myanmar, among which the Taukkyan Cemetery is the largest, with 6,374 tombs. The stone wall of the taukkyan Cemetery is also engraved with more than 27,000 British soldiers who died in the Myanmar Battle, including British soldiers from Myanmar, Indian and Africans. Their remains have not been found."

"On April 13, 2012, British Prime Minister Cameron visited Myanmar, he specifically visited the British army cemetery in Yangon."

"The United States also has cemeteries in Myanmar, but after the end of World War II, the bodies were transported back to China and buried in Arlington National Cemetery."

"Even Japan has built cemeteries in Myanmar. Since 1975, with the strong support of the government, consortiums and people, the Japanese have opened up various joints in Myanmar, and built cemeteries of Japanese soldiers who fell into battle, large and small spiritual comfort towers and monuments in many places in Myanmar."

"On May 25, 2013, Prime Minister Ansan of Japan once worshiped at the Myanmar Cemetery."

"The Chinese Expeditionary Force was killed in Myanmar about 100,000 people, Yangon, Sibo, Mandalay, Bamo, and Myitkyina. There were at least 10 cemeteries, but they were all destroyed later." Zhang Sheping re-mentioned the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Mu Yang really didn't understand this history, so he asked, "Why was destroyed because of the reason."

Zhang Sheping sighed, "The reason is very complicated."

"In 1948, Myanmar was independent, and the Chinese no longer enjoyed political status in Myanmar. In 1964, the Neywin regime implemented the "nationalization movement", and 700 Chinese companies were nationalized in Yangon alone, resulting in the destruction of many Chinese and overseas Chinese in an instant. The diligence of Chinese people was mostly rich in Southeast Asia, and the same was true in Myanmar, but the wealth of Chinese people was envied by many locals. This is one of the important backgrounds of Myanmar in the mid-1960s."

"The so-called "nationalization" movement of the Myanmar government not only affected local Chinese and overseas Chinese in Myanmar, but even the Chinese Expeditionary Force cemeteries in Myanmar are difficult to escape. Many Expeditionary Force cemeteries were destroyed by Myanmar's official government under this background, flattened, and the land was converted for other purposes."

"In addition, in the 1960s and 1970s, my country and Myanmar had an unpleasant period of interaction. China and Myanmar had a feud, and the locals in Myanmar retaliated by destroying Chinese cemeteries."

"I have been concerned about this issue, so I know a little about these things. Now, those expeditionary army cemeteries have long disappeared. I have visited the expeditionary army cemeteries in Yangon. They have long been turned into ruins, wastelands and even pigpens, leaving only half a monument there."

It can be seen that when Zhang Sheping mentioned these, he looked very lonely, and even felt a little sad. In the end, his throat rolled unconsciously for a few times.

"Amusement, Minister Yang is preparing to worship the Expeditionary Army cemetery, but there is no decent cemetery. Let's go there to worship."

It was the first time Mu Yang knew about this and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Mu Yang opened his clenched fists and said seriously: "Here, I want to make a review. We did not pay attention to this matter before. It is not that because of the chief inspector, we did not do our work in advance, but because of our negligence, the heroes who fought for the country were uneasy."

"Looking back, I will propose to the Myanmar government to organize forces to repair the cemetery of the Expeditionary Force and seek help from the country, hoping to get support from the public."

"This time Minister Yang came to visit the Yangon Cemetery to worship. He did not change or move or set up a storefront, and he would see whatever he had."

"Sheping, you have some understanding of this. You are responsible for this matter. I will sort out a plan to restore the cemetery. No problem." Mu Yang looked at Zhang Sheping.

"No problem, ambassador." Mu Yangneng saw the joy on Zhang Sheping's face.

Later Mu Yang learned that Zhang Sheping's grandfather was once a soldier in the Expeditionary Force. He died on the battlefield in Myanmar and his corpse has not yet remained. When he was a child, Zhang Sheping's mother would take Zhang Sheping to burn paper to worship his dead grandfather at the end of the mountain road in his hometown every year during the cold dew of the Qingming Festival. Therefore, he had a special relationship with those Expeditionary Forces entering Myanmar. (To be continued.)
