First of all, let's introduce the location of the port, Meng'a port is 800 kilometers away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, 12 hours by car from Kunming, 18 hours by bus, and from Pu'er below

First of all, let's introduce the location of the port, Meng'a port is 800 kilometers away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, 12 hours by car from Kunming, 18 hours by bus, and a large section of road below Pu'er, the road is narrow and difficult to travel. Across the river from Myanmar's local warlord government, meng'a port is a key port at the national level, as more than 98% of China's tin ore is imported from the port.

The place belongs to Meng'a Village, Mengma Town, Menglian County, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, and is the seat of the village committee, which has a small one, a kindergarten, and a small Buddhist temple on the street, all of which have been built recently. The area was under the jurisdiction of the Menglian Xuanwei Division Tusi Dao clan. Together with the more than 500,000 people of the Wa State government since ancient times, the land has been Chinese territory since ancient times, after liberation, Shan State was occupied by the Burmese government army with the river as the boundary, and then China ceded it out, and since then it has been ruled by warlords.

Although the land is in a barbaric area, mainly inhabited by the Dai, Lahu and Wa ethnic groups, the people here are simple and simple, and people live a simple life. The climate is humid and hot, but the sky is blue and the water is clear, and look at the former Chinese tongpao residence across the river (now the residence of burmese warlords, the indigenous residents are Wa, speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, and the opposite Yunnan is no different), a peaceful, paradise!

And look at the river slowly coming from the west, flowing out of the country, nourishing the people of a foreign land, a water is difficult to separate a family, once the Chinese compatriots, only because of a river across, is a different nationality, but the slow flow of the river will always be the bond of relatives. Once the oppression of the old society, now I heard that it is the oppression of the warlord government, the labor is heavy, and if there is a male in the family, one person must be supported to serve in the military, and the monthly salary is 300 yuan (they also use RMB), only the other men in the family are willing to exchange for each other to no longer perform military service, if not, it can be seen that the seventy-year-old also patrol across guns. Without oppression, this should be a free and peaceful place, cooking smoke, chickens and dogs are harmonious, outsiders do not dare to easily harass, for fear of chaos and calm.

As we all know, China's old is known as the "tin capital of the world", the old tin mining and smelting history can be traced back to the pre-Qing Guangxu years, has a history of more than 100 years, in these 100 years, in order to meet the growing market demand, the old tin excessive mining, has been exhausted, and china Yunnan Menglian County Meng'a across the river wa state is rich in tin ore reserves, the territory of high mountains and dense forests, a primitive realm, the territory of the unmined virgin land, containing business opportunities. Before 2005, the Wa region was the raw material supply place for the world's corner drugs, and the ethnic minorities living in the territory lived by cultivating poppies, and every late winter and early spring, the mountains were everywhere, and the flowers were intoxicatingly beautiful, but behind this beauty created a sadness.

Today, as the main port of tin mines in China, here merchants gather, boats and cars gather, lights and wine, every day for the world to supply grains of smelted tin metal originals.

As a new place full of business opportunities, because of the rich tin ore resources, merchants from all over the country gathered here, everyone came to pan for gold, so smuggling has become a well-known secret here, both sides of the river have helped people smuggle people to cross the river, before they crossed the river with bamboo rafts, now they use rubber rafts to cross people, because the rubber raft is light and easy to carry. Not only do they help people smuggle, they also smuggle cattle.

The cattle of cattle dealers on the street, it is said that these cattle ditches from India, as we all know, Hinduism by disciples regard cattle as holy relics, in India, cattle are supreme, so a large number of cattle have become a disaster, excess cattle through Thailand into The Wa State of Myanmar, purchased by Chinese cattle dealers back to China, but they do not take the normal channels, customs declarations for import, but with the assistance of "ferrymen", the cattle are directly purchased to the Meng'a market for slaughter.

Finally, with a small poem scribble:

At dusk in late spring

When twilight drifts in from the green mountains in the distance

When the insects chirp in the humid and hot air currents, the sound spreads far and wide

When the sun sets at dusk

The foreign stupa quietly put away her ten thousand golden rays

I wanted to hold on to this twilight far away

Don't let him stop at this moment

Calm and impetuous heart

Rise and fall in the twilight of the day

All thoughts

Always want to get rid of it

Weave the baptized soul into another journey

Fragrant wild scenery along the way

Beautiful things

Freedom and joy are no longer unusual

Oh, the illusion is good

Not long

Maybe this free joy

Could not be found

There is nothing in the world
