In the mid-1990s, my friend Wu Zejun and I had a dream of Burma.

First took a train from Chongqing Qijiang County to Kunming, and then changed cars to cross Baoshan, because the identity card was stolen, he had to apply for two border passes in Baoshan.

After three days and two nights, we finally reached the end of the trip: Ruili.

At that time, there was no karaoke in the mainland, but on Ruili Street, one yuan a song was already very popular.

Especially at night, Ruili is even more crowded, bustling and bustling, one by one Indians, Laos, Burmese people pass by; selling watermelons, selling coconuts, selling sugar cane, selling all kinds of Dai-flavored snacks, small traders and vendors, one after another, endlessly; Han, Dai, Jingpo, Collapse, mixed in, dazzling!

A poem is popular in the area:

Rarity is a good place

Crazy girls everywhere

This poem is engraved on the wall of the hotel, and it is estimated that it is the insight and harvest of our predecessors here!

On the second day, we took a van to the Sister Story Development Zone, the main purpose of which was to inspect the Burmese jadeite.

Walking around, I came to a bridge, and suddenly saw a group of people dancing on the grass opposite, out of curiosity, I walked over, sat on the grass and smoked two cigarettes, watching with great interest as they danced the folk dance. While watching, they joked that they were as black as Africans, and they didn't care, because they were wearing the same cage as the Dai people.

"Bag!" I cursed in my heart.
