1984 marked the 35th anniversary of the National Day of the People's Republic of China, when the republic was celebrated in different ways across the country and around the world.
In September of that year, the Chinese Consulate General in Karachi, in cooperation with the rotary society, an international charity organization, jointly held an event to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
Wang Disan, then Chinese consul general in Karachi, released 35 white pigeons, and one of them had a note tied to one of his legs, which read: "The person who caught this lucky pigeon should buy a ticket to China in the near future, and all the expenses incurred in China will be borne by the Chinese side." ”
At that time, the newspaper reported that Consul Wang had released white pigeons

And Lal Mohammed, who lives in Karachi, loves to keep pigeons on weekdays.
As usual, Muhammad went to the roof to feed the pigeons with water. However, he found that a white pigeon from another house had been mixed in his flock, and the white pigeon fled in a panic as soon as he saw him. But after a while it was re-attracted by the water and the flock of pigeons gathered here. Gradually, the white dove relaxed its hostility, and Muhammad grabbed the white dove and put it in the cage.
Dove
On weekdays, Muhammad would send his children to school and then go to the port himself to work. But on that day, the children were late for school because of the time it took to catch pigeons, and after Muhammad's explanation, his wife was still very angry with Muhammad.
After Muhammad went to work, his wife took care of the pigeons on weekdays. While inspecting the new white pigeons, she found a note tube tied to the leg of the white pigeon, and there was a note on the outside, which read: Long live the friendship between China and Pakistan! Rotary Club. However, the wife did not care about this note tube, but just casually threw it away and did not care.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Muhammad returned home from work as usual, and on the way home he heard a friend say that the newspaper had published a 35 white pigeons released by the Chinese consulate in Karachi, one of which carried a prize. Because Muhammad likes to raise pigeons on weekdays, remind Muhammad to pay attention.
Muhammad casually replied that he had caught a white pigeon in the morning, but he wasn't sure if he was carrying anything.
When he returned home, Muhammad checked the white pigeons and found no prizes, so he did not pay attention. But at dinner, she was picked up again by her wife, who said that the white pigeon had a note on it, and she did not know whether it was used by the child to pass on credit.
At this moment, Muhammad was completely awakened and told the whole family the news. So, the whole family was mobilized, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the whereabouts of the note tube. Finally, I found this unexpected surprise under a stack of newspapers.

After finding it, Muhammad learned the contents. However, Mohammed does not have contact details for the Chinese Consulate General in Karachi and the charity Rotary.
After consulting the older ones, Muhammad decided to announce the news by publishing a newspaper.
Newspaper content published by Lal Mohammed
The trick worked, and word spread quickly. One day, several police officers appeared in Lal Mohammed's home, which made the surrounding neighbors very strange.
The staff of the Chinese consulate also found Mohammed's home, found him in the consulate, and was also received by Consul Wang.
The Chinese side suggested that Mohammed contact the Chinese consul general in Pakistan to arrange relevant matters, and advised Muhammad to prepare for his lucky journey as soon as possible.
However, Muhammad was not too happy at this time, because in those days, the cost of round-trip plane tickets was difficult for many ordinary Pakistani families to bear. The round-trip expenses are not reimbursed by the Chinese side.
Fortunately, a parliamentarian in Karachi at the time, Gilani, strongly supported Mohammed's trip to China and issued an open letter to this end.
Open letter from MP Gilani
In his communiqué, Gilani said that Muhammad, because of his poor family, may have missed the rare opportunity to travel to China, and that this trip not only affected him personally, but also concerned the dignity of Karachi and even Pakistan as a whole. He suggested that Mohammed wear a full national costume and travel to China as a non-governmental ambassador, and called on all parties to donate generously.
Finally, Rotary held a reception at a local hotel to congratulate Mohammed on his award and present him with a check for travel expenses. At this point, Muhammad finally solved his worries and embarked on a lucky journey to China with ease and happiness.

Regrettably, however, because the process took so much time in between, Muhammad did not catch up with the National Day ceremony at that time.

When Muhammad came to China, Beijing was already in early winter. However, as a civilian ambassador representing Pakistan, he still received high-level hospitality.
China arranged an interpreter for him, and on this trip to China, he visited several places such as the Great Wall, the Palace Museum, and the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. It became the most memorable moment of his life.
Now Lal Mohammed
As a witness to the friendship between China and Pakistan, Mohammed has left the mark of friendship in China and actively promoted the friendship between the two countries in Pakistan.
