Ms. Wang Kezhi continued in her letter: "I arrived in Thailand on January 23rd, and the Star Wars was at its climax. I arrived in Chiang Rai on the 26th, and brought a large amount of books, medicines, and clothes needed by the local Chinese school, totaling 250 kilograms. During my stay in the northern part of Thailand, I lived in the villagers' homes and made the most basic understanding. I had a doubt in my heart, why did the lone army stay there? I finally found out that some people don't know how to live in Taiwan, and there is an old military officer with a very high rank, Tell me that the reason why it is not humane is that when the government retreated twice, each time the government was ordered to stay and "preserve its strength". This brave veteran who was loved by his subordinates dedicated his life to the country and ideals, what happened to him But it is a breeze in the sleeves, which makes people sore. Therefore, I have a depressing feeling, where will they go? Although it is impossible for the country to lend a helping hand to the 200,000 people in this politically sensitive area today, we can do our best It is something we should do and can do to improve their lives with all our attention and energy. Some people say: I have seen the lonely Miao people and the refugee village where they live, and I will never forget the local area. I am no exception. Back to Taiwan Afterwards, I actively passed on the burden, convinced many friends to prepare for long-term support for local education, medicine, agriculture, etc., and actively invited "Cosmic Light Magazine" to hold a charity performance on Mother's Day to raise funds for the Lonely Hmong Refugee Village.

"When we were working in full swing, your article undoubtedly hit us with a sap, because didn't we become a fundraiser for the "Poison Triangle"? Although you read the text carefully, you just went to Chiang Rai And Man Xing Die. Anyone who has been to northern Thailand knows that Man Xing Die cannot represent the whole of northern Thailand. But there are too many readers who only read the title. Even if they read carefully, few people understand the intricate relationship in northern Thailand. "Mr. Bo Yang, I believe you will know the hardships of living in the 33 refugee villages in northern Thailand. It would be unfair and contrary to the facts to report only from the perspective of drug trafficking. Although what you report is only star-studded The Zhang family, but most readers don’t notice, and the consequences will be disastrous.”

Ms. Wang Kezhi said: "Although the article has not been published, I can't predict what will be written later, but it has frightened those of us who have been running around for the Chinese people in northern Thailand in the past few months. I hope this letter is superfluous, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I will see that there are no drugs. I believe that is the main purpose of your trip, other than the report on the Lone Hmong and refugee villages." Ms. Wang Kezhi emphasized: "In fact, Lone Army is Kunsha's victim. No one in northern Thailand dared to say the word Zhang Qifu aloud. I clearly remember that on February 28th, when I lived in Laohu, Zhang's stragglers came to arrest him late at night. The news of the soldiers came like the wind, the men fled in terror, the women and children trembled, I will never forget it. And we were in Yongtai, where there was a solitary army that was still armed, a mixed force of Yunnanese and Kawa people Before leaving, the scenes of those brave soldiers seeing each other with tears are all about the tragedies of the times and the sufferings of the Chinese people. How can I forget all kinds of things in northern Thailand? Many young people are also influenced by this book , so when I passed on my inner burden to them, they immediately understood and were willing to join. But we don’t want to make a big fuss, fearing that there will be some bad side effects. We just sacrifice silently and provide long-term medical, agricultural technology, Every little bit of help with education.”

Finally, Ms. Wang Kezhi said: "Recently, I often meet people who think that the Golden Triangle is everyone who sells drugs, knocking down a boatload of people with one pole, denying the facts we told them, and making me feel sorry for the lonely seedlings. If you are a person who specializes in making yourself Don’t talk about people who are well-known and who have their own image. If you have real feelings for the lone army, please hurry up and make amends.” The copy of the letter ends here, and I am very grateful to Ms. Wang Kezhi for her heart full of love.As a petite girl in her twenties, he went deep into the dangerous northern Thai border area and served those lonely soldiers who were almost forgotten with his actions, which was exciting.However, with regard to the accusation against me, I don't know how to remedy it.In my reports so far, what I have described is limited to the "Shan State Revolutionary Army" and its star-studded bases, that is, to the "Golden Triangle".In the first paragraph of the first article "Departure", I explained the purpose of my visit: first, "to visit the lonely Hmong descendants left in the book as far as the Thai-Myanmar border." Second, "to visit the refugee village and the Golden Triangle"——I didn't know at that time that the place where the lone army was located was a refugee village.So in fact, there are only two interviewees I interviewed: "Lone Army" and "Golden Triangle". It's just that I reported on "Golden Triangle" first, and "Golden Triangle" can't be written in a few thousand words.However, one thing that confuses me the more I think about it is, how could anyone think that I am the only one who writes?The abundance of associative power makes people eclipse.And judging from Ms. Wang Kezhi's tone, it seems that people who have returned from northern Thailand can only report on the sad lonely refugee village, not the "Golden Triangle".It is orthodox to report on the Lone Army Refugee Village.Reporting on the "Golden Triangle" is crooked.I heard that a self-proclaimed high-status person once angrily declared that he would call the "China Times" to stop publishing such "morale-damaging" articles.This news made me depressed, and I couldn't figure it out. It was not until I read Ms. Wang Kezhi's letter that I discovered the reason for the misunderstanding.

This article is written today, in black and white, it should be very clear.The problem is that even if the Chinese have such misunderstandings, it is even more difficult for Thais to distinguish or even unwilling to distinguish under the guidance of inflammatory words from ambitious politicians.
