Chapter 85: A New Stop! Rangoon!

On June 20, the Chinese team boarded a ship bound for Yangon, Myanmar, in a drizzly and gentle breeze, which was 800 nautical miles away from Penang.

After the Chinese team went to sea, the weather became bad again, stormy and choppy, worse than the flight from Singapore to Batavia last month.

Fortunately, there are still a lot of halos in Lu Zhuhu, and the seasickness is much better after everyone takes it. Looking at the storm outside the ship, the black pressure, and the sea that seemed to engulf the whole ship, Lu Zhuhu couldn't help but sigh that in history, this team didn't even have these basic medicines, and I really don't know how to survive such bad weather. However, although there is medicine to help them now, they are still unable to carry out normal morning exercises. Lu Zhuhu can only take two students to learn to play Three Kingdoms.

Fortunately, three days later, the ship arrived smoothly in Yangon, which had been the political center of Myanmar and the country's most famous city until the capital was moved to Naypyidaw in 2005. When Lu Zhuhu was a child, he found a book written by a Japanese in his father's cabinet, "The Eighth Brothel", and was overjoyed. - The place where the story takes place seems to be in Yangon. In fact, the content of the book itself is still very poignant, how can Japan's own people at the bottom suffer for their own vain dreams, and these sufferings are helping its militaristic government to help the abuse. I can't remember it for too long, but the famous movie "Wangxiang" is based on the book by Tomoko Yamazaki, Lu Zhuhu only remembers that the book said that the Japanese girls in Nanyang are the most willing to receive their own people, but the Japanese men in their own country are often the most rude and rude; On the contrary, Chinese men are polite, gentle and kind (well, don't talk about cultural qualities among prostitutes...... )

Myanmar, which is now annexed by the British, is a province of India, and the number of Chinese immigrants in Myanmar is also very large, and there are many people in Yunnan, and in the 1930s, the upsurge of immigration to Myanmar was set off, and the number of Chinese was around 200,000 at this time.

As soon as Lu Zhuhu and his entourage arrived in Yangon, before they got off the boat, they felt a warm atmosphere - there were many overseas Chinese who came to the pier to greet them! Clustered on the dock, it looks like they've been waiting for a long time.

"Are you coming?"

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

"Great, that's not going to get ready-"

When I walked down the gangway, I heard the shouting of a group of people below, and when I was wondering what they were "preparing", I saw a big wave of a person's hand, and a military band flashed out of the cracks!

Popping drums and blowing pipes!

Everyone was dizzy!

Lu Zhuhu said in his heart: I can rely on this treatment, and the overseas Chinese in Yangon even sent a band to play music to open the way! It's not President Chiang's visit to Myanmar!

Everyone followed the band beating all the way, surrounded by expatriates, all the way to the city, the procession was so lively and spectacular that the locals in Yangon couldn't figure out what great joy had happened-

Well, in fact, there is really a "happy event" that can be celebrated on these two days, that is, the birthday of King Edward VIII, the Lord of Burma, the Emperor of India, and the British King - that's right, the famous "don't love the country and love the beauty"! Earlier this year, the death of the previous King George V was also the first birthday of Edward VIII in office, and as a colony, it was natural to "celebrate with the whole world", although this monarch chose to abdicate a few months later because of his marital problems, and was demoted to the Duke of Windsor, becoming the only king in the history of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth to abdicate voluntarily.

"King Li Qiu, every time you go to Nanyang to perform, why don't you come to Yangon every time? It's good that you're finally here! The expatriates rejoiced.

Yangon is a place that no one in the Chinese team has ever visited, and everyone feels very new about everything here, but seeing the enthusiasm of the local compatriots, the team also feels that it is a pity that they have not led the team to visit here before.

Over the next few days, the Chinese team was in paradise and could finally recuperate after a terrible sea trip. In addition to the normal training every day, after that, I will play in Yangon with the overseas Chinese. Looking at these simple and warm-hearted compatriots, Lu Zhuhu felt a little that Myanmar is a place that is not very friendly to Chinese expatriates, especially after the "nationalization movement" was implemented in Myanmar, many Chinese who had been bullied left Myanmar, and the remaining expatriates could only choose to "abandon Han and change to Burma". Rao is so, and it is reluctant to say that he is a "second-class citizen". Lu Zhuhu looked at the smiling overseas Chinese now, and thought of the many Chinese he had seen in Batavia, Surabaya, and Medan.

Just now, let's not spoil this rare festive atmosphere.

On June 23, the King's birthday, Yangon, the capital of colonial British Burma, celebrates many events – including the horse races that were customary in the British colony. Naturally, the players from Hong Kong rushed to the racecourse and used their professional vision to choose the BMW that could win the first prize. They also beckoned Lu Zhuhu to go:

"Po, listen to me, my brother's vision has never been wrong! If you press me, if you lose, it's mine! Make sure you make a lot of money! ”

"Brother Lu, don't listen to him, when it comes to horse racing, who can be more professional than me? He's not allowed, listen to me! ”

Lu Zhuhu said in his heart: How can outstanding young people who have grown up in the new society and the future successors of the motherland be brought down by people like you who are obsessed with gambling? - Shouted: Okay, I'll give 100 pounds, and I'll press 50 each of the horses you choose!

The student Xiaohua also said that he wanted to try his luck and do a big vote, Lu Zhuhu asked if he wanted to sponsor him, Xiaohua said no-

"I'll just press a dollar."

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

The result is shocking, none of these "horse racing champions" won the lottery, they lost face, and even the money that was involved in the land chase was also wasted!

But it only pressed one dollar, and the blind selection of Ma Xiaohua won the lottery...... Lu Zhuhu and Xiao Dong coaxed him to have a treat, and Xiaohua said with a sad face: I am still going to save up and go back to marry a wife!

Lu Zhuhu: Well, your little money is not enough to marry a wife......

On the 24th, the Chinese team continued to attend the welcome party held by the local overseas Chinese group and was invited to watch the local Group A league. On the afternoon of June 25, the Chinese team finally ushered in a new competition after a few days of repair, and the opponent was the famous local strong team British Army Rifles in Yangon. Tickets for the game were hard to come by, and the hour and a half before the start of the game was already full, so ticket sales had to be stopped. In the end, more than 23,000 people attended, which was a great attendance rate in the local area. The Chinese team, which is recuperating and vigorous, also lined up the main lineup:

Goalkeeper: Bao Jiaping

Defenders: Mak Siu-han, Lee Tiansheng

Midfielders: Lu Zhuhu, Liang Rongzhao, Chen Zhenhe

Forwards: Sun Jinshun, Dai Linjing, Li Huitang, Tan Jiangbai, Zheng Jiliang

Among them, Brother Tan is like the number one striker in the team, and he doesn't want to go back anymore when he is on the forward line......
