Yang Zhengui sent Zhou Sen to the hotel, asked everyone to put away their luggage, and took Zhou Sen out for a walk.

Zhou Sen looked up at the buildings on the side of the street and sighed, "Before I came to Cambodia, I thought Cambodia was very backward and the houses were very dilapidated!"

Yang Zhengui smiled, "In addition to some overseas Chinese to work and live in Cambodia, there are also Chinese-funded enterprises to invest here, in fact, many people in our country do not have a deep understanding of Cambodia, in the eyes of most people, the impression of Cambodia only stays in Angkor Wat, the world cultural heritage, with the steady progress of the "Belt and Road", trade and investment between China and Cambodia is maintaining strong growth, and the country has become Cambodia's largest trading partner and source of foreign investment. ”

"As overseas Chinese, we still have a deep affection for the motherland, when I was a child, I often heard my father tell me about our motherland, although we came to Cambodia to make a living, but the Chinese have the concept of returning to their homeland and returning to their roots, this tradition has been deeply rooted in our bone marrow, no matter where we go are Chinese, secretly telling ourselves in our hearts that we must fight for energy, and we must strive to make some achievements in our careers, so that we can return to our hometown, the scenery is beautiful, and we will not lose face to our ancestors." ”

"I heard you say that your uncle's generation brought their family to Cambodia to develop, can you tell me?"

"My uncle is really very difficult, my father died, my father is the eldest brother, my uncle took over the burden of my father, it is really not easy for him to support the family, I was still very young at that time, my mother took me, my uncle went out to work first, and when he stood firm, he came and took our whole family over. ”

"When I first went, I was not familiar with the place, and I had to rely on my hard-working hands to work hard in order to have food, my uncle was hardworking and sincere, he went to many places to work, and they all said that the road knew that the horsepower was long to see the hearts of the people, and this sentence was also very applicable abroad. ”

"As long as you are a good person, work hard and sincerely, do not take advantage of others, after a long time, everyone also recognizes you, after a period of part-time work, my uncle has accumulated some entrepreneurial capital, so he became his own boss, rented a shop, and started to do Chinese restaurants. ”

"Chinese start a lot of Chinese restaurants abroad, no matter which country they go to, where there are people, people have basic needs, they all say that people take food as the sky, this sentence also applies to foreign countries, people are difficult to resist the temptation of food, opening Chinese restaurants is still very popular, we have many varieties of Chinese cuisine, wontons, dumplings, some home cooking, Cambodians also like to eat. ”

"In this way, my uncle brought me up with his own hard work, and now our family has opened several chain stores, let me take you to my restaurant to have a look!"

"Well, Chinese, they are all compatriots, and we must support the hotel of our compatriots!"

Yang Zhengui took Zhou Sen to the restaurant opened by his family, and saw his uncle Yang Qing, Yang Qing already had white hair, and he still looked very energetic, he was busy in the hotel, going to the kitchen to see for a while, and coming out to see the guests for a while.

"My uncle is like this, he is already a handful of years, he could have stayed at home and enjoyed the blessings, but he just didn't listen to the persuasion, and he still had to come out to manage the restaurant. ”

Yang Zhengui introduced Zhou Sen to his uncle, and Yang Qing smiled and invited Zhou Sen to sit.

"Everyone sit, I have long heard Dean Zhang say that the distinguished guests are coming, I asked Zhengui to pick up at the airport, welcome everyone to Cambodia, we have already arranged the accommodation!"

Zhou Sen smiled and shook hands with Yang Qing, "Thank you, Uncle Yang, we will pay for the accommodation ourselves, how much it should be, how much it should be!"

"It's all compatriots, you're welcome, come here, we should entertain, we are looking forward to you coming!"

Zhou Sen took out a few packets of Longjing tea from his bag and handed them to Yang Qing, "Dean Zhang said that you like to drink Longjing tea, so let me bring some!"

"Thank you Dean Zhang for being so careful, after so many years, I think of my hometown again when I see Longjing tea, we Chinese are still used to drinking Longjing tea, I accepted it, ask Dean Zhang for me!"

"Good!"

Zhou Sen sat down with a smile, Yang Qing called the waiter to bring the menu, asked Zhou Sen's opinion, ordered a few home-cooked dishes casually, and everyone sat around to eat.

Yang Qing said: "We don't have any expensive dishes here, they are all some home-cooked dishes, wontons, dumplings, if you want to eat Cambodian specialties, let Zhengui take you there!"

Zhou Sen said: "It's okay, we are very happy to be able to eat Chinese specialties in Cambodia, can you tell us about life in Cambodia?"

"Oh, I believe Zhen Gui has already told you something, my eldest brother has a hard life, he has become ill from hard work, he died of illness and left first, leaving a family of old and young, the burden of life falls on my shoulders, originally my eldest brother and I have two boys, and I have two younger sisters. ”

"My two younger sisters are married, and my two brothers-in-law are my good assistants, and I brought them to Cambodia to work hard, and after gaining a firm foothold, I will bring my family here to develop. ”

"Then why did you choose Cambodia instead of Vietnam and Thailand?"

"I've also been to Vietnam, and then to Thailand, Vietnam, to speak Vietnamese, I don't want to learn, Thailand also has to learn Thai, at that time I was middle-aged, learning a language is too difficult for me, there are a lot of overseas Chinese in Cambodia, even if they don't understand English, they can speak Chinese, and Cambodia and China are friendly, Cambodian people see that our Chinese are also very kind and polite, I think the environment here is better, so I choose to stay in Cambodia to live." ”

"Although the life is simple, we feel very good, the people are simple and kind, easy to socialize, we have lived here for a long time, and the neighbors around us are also familiar and used to it. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Can Uncle Yang tell me about the changes that the Belt and Road Initiative has brought to Cambodia?"

"The Belt and Road cooperation has ushered in new development opportunities for Cambodia, and China's investment in Cambodia has led to a large number of employment opportunities, which is a good thing for Cambodia, promoting employment, young people have jobs to do, they can be stable, and young people have become the main force to support their families, and they have a family behind them, and even the hope of a family. ”

"I deeply understand this, when my eldest brother died of illness, if I can't find a job, can't solve the employment problem, there is no way to earn wages every month, and use this money to buy daily necessities for my family, my family may have starved to death, so for the people, employment, solving people's livelihood problems is the first!"

"In recent years, Cambodia has become the best value investment depression in Asia favored by international capital, with a large influx of overseas investment, the strategic location of the core of ASEAN, and the in-depth cooperation with China's economy, and a lot of infrastructure is also being built, which is a welcome change in Cambodia. ”

"The new buildings under construction are everywhere, most of them are funded by China, and China has helped Cambodia a lot, and our overseas Chinese in Cambodia are obvious to all, and we are proud of our motherland. ”
