According to the prior arrangement, Huang Ke and his entourage went to Kemayuk, Yangon, the next morning, to give a speech at Yangon University. It was also an opportunity to arrange for Aung San to meet with him.

The University of Yangon is one of Myanmar's oldest institutions of higher learning, located on the shores of Inya Lake in Kemayud. The University of Kolkata, which was previously affiliated with India, became independent in the 20s and established the University of Yangon.

Aung San and others graduated from this school, and many anti-British and anti-Japanese movements were also launched from this school, which can be said to be the cradle of Myanmar's national liberation movement and a microcosm of Myanmar's modernization and development process.

The convoy departed from downtown Yangon and headed for Yangon University. The small but colonial buildings, the lush teak trees, and the young students dressed in traditional Burmese costumes give this university a different feel.

At Yangon University, Aung San, U Nu, U Thein Win and other high-level members of the Burmese government, as well as school leaders from Yangon University, received Huang Ke. Huang Ke shook hands with them one by one.

This was the first time that the Burmese high-level had met Huang Ke, and although the Myanmar side had sent a delegation to Nanjing before, Huang Ke was in the northwest region at that time and did not receive them.

Huang Ke was wearing a dark green khaki pants, a pair of black leather shoes of calfskin on his feet, a black short-sleeved outfit tied in the pants, his hair was combed back, his figure was well-proportioned, and his dark skin was matched with an angular Chinese face, which naturally stood out in the high-level Myanmar who was not tall.

Huang Ke shook hands with Aung San and the others one by one, and exchanged a few words of greetings along the way.

When shaking hands with Aung San, Aung San said: "Welcome to Myanmar and Yangon University, Mr. Chairman, I hope for your understanding that I have not been able to greet you in person." I hope you can make good memories here. ”

These words seem ordinary, but the meaning is obvious, that is, I am the host here.

Huang Ke also smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's okay." Coming to Myanmar today with your alma mater, I hope that our handshake this time is a new beginning for China-Myanmar cooperation. As for the reception, for many reasons, we can only substitute for the others. ”

His words also subtly echoed Aung San, meaning that it is still up to us to call the shots here.

Both of them smiled symbolically after hearing this, and then Huang Ke shook hands with the others.

After some ceremonial contact, Huang Ke began to prepare to enter the auditorium. This is the focus of today's arrangement, a slap in the face at the University of Yangon.

The lecture was held in the auditorium of the University of Yangon, a landmark of the University of Yangon, with its dark walls, heavy walls and three-hole style gate, which makes it difficult to think that it was built by the British.

Interestingly, there is a flagpole in front of the auditorium, and the Chinese flag is hoisted here today, and the entourage said that it may have been deliberately raised to welcome Huang Ke's arrival, because after the Japanese withdrawal, there was no longer any flag hanging here due to the opposition of Yangon University students.

Although there was still more than half an hour before the scheduled opening time, the auditorium was already crowded with students, and as far as the eye could see, the entire auditorium was full, and even the corridors and doorways were full of students.

This caused a lot of trouble for the people in charge of security guards, and Fourteen Tsai was worried that something unexpected would happen to so many people.

He summoned the deputy commander-in-chief of the Burmese army, U Teng Win, to discuss. Wu Dengwen looked at it and said, "Don't worry, I have already installed a large number of plain clothes, and the students who came in have also been checked, so there will be no problem." ”

Fourteen Tsai was still not very relieved, so he let a few people around him guard around.

Half an hour later, the host Wu Nu said a short presiding speech, and then in the applause, Huang Ke walked into the venue.

The applause was loud as it was the first head of state at Yangon University.

Huang Ke stood in front of the microphone, patted the microphone lightly with his fingers to see if there was any sound, and after getting a definite answer, Huang Ke gestured to the translator next to him, and then began his speech.

"The students of Yangon University, it is an honor to come to the beautiful University of Yangon today to experience the hard-won peace with all of you. Here, I have a small request, if you have any dissatisfaction with my speech, you can raise objections and argue with me, but please don't throw away your shoes. Because you threw away your shoes, you may have to go back barefoot. ”

These words enlivened the atmosphere of the scene, and there was a burst of laughter without malice among the teachers and students at the scene. Everyone found that Huang Ke was not as old-fashioned and blunt as he remembered, although he was born as an iron-blooded soldier, he had no lack of humor and smiles.

Amid the laughter of the students at the scene, Huang Ke began his own speech, which was an off-script speech entitled "What Should We Do?" 》。

He talked about personal ideals, talked about China's national conditions before the revolution, compared the three time periods of 1918, 1930 and 1940, down to the life of a common family, and talked about the changes and development of China in recent years.

"Twenty years ago, our country was poor and weak, and it would have taken at least a little over a month to get from Nanjing to today's Yangon, because there were no railways, roads, and airports in many parts of China at that time. The fastest way is to take a train to Shanghai and from there take a ship to Yangon. But today, we can take a train from Nanjing to Kunming and from Yunnan to Yangon via the Yunnan-Burma Highway. And this only takes one week, which is greatly shortened. ”

"Connecting everywhere, that's what we're supposed to do."

To cite another example, in the twenties, the Yellow River, China's mother river, was flooded, and when it did, the streets of big cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhan would flood with a large number of victims. At that time, it took 20 liters of rice to buy a boy about 10 years old, and 15 liters for a girl, and at that time a cow could be sold for 100 yuan, and rice at that time was only a few cents a liter. Human life is thinner than paper,"

"I once met a scrawny mother who was dragging her teenage daughter and a few years old son on the streets of Nanjing, begging someone to buy her baby."

Speaking of this, Huang Ke's voice was a little choked, and the audience was silent, everyone not only listened, but also empathized.

Huang Ke controlled his emotions and continued: "Later, this mother fell ill because she didn't have anything to eat, coupled with the cold. Her daughter was to sell herself and her brother to bury her mother. I took these two children into my home, and the mother still died. These two children are my eldest daughter and eldest son today. One of them is an excellent newspaper man, and the other is an excellent airborne soldier. All this does not show how righteous I am, but only proves that there are infinite possibilities in these children who were once not worth a cow. ”

Huang Ke took a deep breath and said in a slightly soothing tone: "I made a vow at that time that I would never let my motherland have such a thing again. That's what we should do! ”

With that, the auditorium fell silent for a moment, followed by a few sporadic applause, followed by a thunderous applause.

Huang Ke pressed it with his hand, and he continued: "My generation, except for Japan, is all poor and backward in Asia. And Japan, which is slightly more advanced than us, is still trying to occupy us and enslave us. I think back to 1919, when I was still in Guangzhou, following the revolutionary pioneer Mr. Zhongshan. One year I accompanied Mr. Liao to Shanghai, and at the wharf of the Huangpu River at that time, I saw many modern warships, their chimneys emitting black smoke, and the bow of the ship with huge gun barrels, but unfortunately, none of them were ours Chinese. ”

"In Shanghai, I also saw a car driven by a Japanese soldier in the Japanese concession crashing into a pedestrian on the side of the road, but punching and kicking the Chinese police at the time, and then walking away! I was very angry at the time, and Mr. Liao told me that if you can't bear it, you will have a big plan! In order not to do such a little forbearance again, we must make our country strong! ”

"In the 30s, when I visited the United States, when I saw the tall buildings, the neat streets, the wide roads, and the people who were brightly dressed and smiling, I wondered, when will my country be so strong?"

"Myanmar today faces the same daunting task as China then. The country is poor and weak, and the people's food needs to be solved urgently. At this time, we should join hands to build our two countries into rich, democratic, and strong countries. This is my ideal, and this is what we should do! ”

After speaking, Huang Ke stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, and the applause at the venue lasted for a long time, and the excited students chanted "Huang Ke".

There is no doubt that the speech was a great success.

U Nu and Aung San and others were also affected by Huang Ke's speech, and through this speech, their impression of Huang Ke has been greatly improved.

Wu Nu, the host of the speech, walked in and said that he would enter the next link, the on-site questioning session. When it came to asking questions, teachers and students scrambled to raise their hands.

There was no on-site questioning, but most of the questions were asked about the friendship between China and Myanmar and what Myanmar intends to ask in the future.

This is not a difficult thing for Huang Ke. In just a few words, he had already answered very clearly. After answering the questions, the audience erupted in applause from time to time.

At this time, a student dressed in traditional Burmese clothes stood up, and without waiting for U Nu to announce, he shouted: "Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, when will you Chinese withdraw your troops from Burma?" When will Myanmar become truly independent? ”

As soon as this question came out, there was an uproar at the scene, everyone muttered, Aung San and the others turned to look at the principal next to him, and the principal's expression became a little embarrassed.

The atmosphere at the scene was awkward and tense for a while.
