Long Chuan paused and said,

"When it comes to drugs in the Golden Triangle, you can't help but talk about Kun Sha. From the 60s to the early 90s of the twentieth century, he controlled the manufacture and circulation of drugs in the Golden Triangle, and was known as the world's number one drug lord. In the eighties of the twentieth century, the United States once estimated that the vast majority of heroin in the United States was refined in areas controlled by Khun Sa. Brown called Kunsha the world's most formidable enemy. But Kun Sha himself said: There are two people who hate drugs in the world, one is the mother of a drug addict, and the other is me. It is said that no one who has ever seen Kun Sha will think that he is a cruel person. Kun Sha's facial features are like a white-faced scholar, completely contrary to his personality and how he behaves. Although his level of education is not high, he has great respect for scholars. Perhaps it is the verification of the saying that what a person lacks will aspire to. It is said that he was righteous to his companions, attached great affection to the Shan people, treated people easily, and even often asked for warmth to show his concern, which was quite reckless and heroic. In his golden age, he had thousands of elite soldiers, and in Burma, from the south to the north, tens of thousands of soldiers belonged to his disciples. Khun Sa has three names, the Chinese name is Zhang Qifu, the Burmese name is Guan Yue, and Khun Sa is his Thai name. Khun Sa was born in Lane Mo Mountain, Shan State, Myanmar, to a Han mother and a Dai father. Kunsha never read a school, lost his mother at an early age, and lived in a broken family. Later, he was raised by a relative of his father named Kunshan. As a half-breed, he was destined to be extraordinary from the beginning. He has lived in an extraordinary environment since he was a child, in addition to fighting and killing and fighting. In the early 50s, Kun Sha once mingled with the remnants of the Shan Gang and learned some military knowledge and techniques. Later, he pulled a small drug dealer armed force that specialized in escorting drugs. In 1962, Khun Sa pledged allegiance to the Burmese government and was appointed commander of the People's Self-Defense Forces in the region. On the one hand, he vigorously developed opium poppy cultivation in the areas under his control, set up customs and cards, collected drug transit taxes, established morphine and heroin refineries, and directly produced and sold narcotics; on the other hand, he defeated and incorporated small groups of drug-trafficking armed forces in various localities to expand his own power. In 1967, the Kunsha drug cartel fought a big drug lord Luo Xinghan, and after the victory, he gradually became the largest drug dealer in the Golden Triangle, controlling 70% of the drug production and most of the trafficking business in the Golden Triangle. At the peak of the Golden Triangle drug trade, Khun Sha controlled 80 percent of the entire Golden Triangle drug trade, and the United States offered a $2 million reward for the capture of the world's number one drug lord. Therefore, he once proudly proclaimed himself: the king of opium. Khun Sa had colluded with the Kuomintang authorities, secret services and diplomatic agencies in Burma and Thailand. For this reason, in 1969, the Taiwan authorities entrusted Kun Sha to be a member of the Fourth Executive Committee of the Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations. In this way, he will win over Kun Sha to serve the Taiwan authorities' counteroffensive on the mainland and sabotage activities. Khun Sha also maintains a kind of relationship with the Taiwan authorities in order to raise his value. In the 80s of the last century, it was the most powerful period for Kunsha's transnational drug crime syndicate, and in order to actively seek independence and establish its own kingdom, Kunsha began to recruit talents from all walks of life. It is worth mentioning that although he is a drug maker, he does not allow his subordinates to take drugs. Because he is well aware of the harm that this kind of thing can do to the human body. He knew very well that if his army also took drugs, he was afraid that his career would last long, so if he found out that his subordinates were taking drugs, he would immediately execute them and would not tolerate them. In the 80s of the last century, Khun Sa controlled the 400-kilometer-long Thai-Burmese border, and the narrow strip of eastern Shan State in Myanmar bordering the three provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son in Thailand became his independent kingdom. Khun Sa chose Wan Hin Duc village as the capital of his kingdom in Mai Khai District, Yezhuang District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. The drug trafficking activities of the Khun Sa Group in Thailand have aroused great concern and unease for the Thai Government. Former Prime Minister Bing? In January 1982, Tinsulanon publicly admitted that this drug trafficking syndicate was dangerous to our country and that they had been involved in the drug trade in our country for a long time...... We have neglected this situation for too long. In order to expel the Khun Sa group from the Thai border, the Thai government has taken a series of measures. In February 1978, more than 300 Thai and Burmese troops carried out a large-scale sweep of the Golden Triangle by helicopters provided by the United States; In July 1982, the Thai government allocated 500,000 Thai dollars (US$25,000) to reward Khun Sa's head. During Prime Minister Yoon Sur Ranong's visit to the United States, a Thai military police contingent went deep into the town of Wanhind Duc to capture Khun Sa, but was unsuccessful. Later, the Thai military police searched Khun Sa's home in Bangkok, but could not find any trace of Khun Sa. In particular, January 21, 1982. At the strong request of the US government, the Thai army dispatched heavy troops to occupy the town of Wan Hinde, the old commander of the Khun Sa group, and drove the main force of the Khun Sa drug cartel into the northern Liangshan. In 1985, there is a legend that Kun Sha fell ill and was bedridden, and eventually died of diabetes. The news of the death of the drug lord shocked the entire Golden Triangle region. Almost all Thai newspapers reported that the opium magnate Khun Sa died on January 16 in the Golden Triangle in the Lilan Mountains at the age of 52 due to long-term diabetes and bedridden. For a while, the countries concerned finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just when everyone was convinced of his death, he suddenly appeared in the camera, which really shocked the world. Speaking to reporters in his new den in Shan State, Khun Sa declared that he had washed his hands and stopped dealing with drugs, but was planning to establish a Shan State Republic. A few years later, Khun Sa publicly proclaimed the Shan State Republic, and he assumed the presidency. His army was called the Shan State Revolutionary Army. But his internal work began to disintegrate, and later he was forced to remove the title of **** and commander-in-chief of the army. In December 1995, government forces launched a new military operation against Khun Sa. In 1996, the Government of Myanmar granted an amnesty to Khun Sa. In the same year, the Montai armed forces led by Khun Sha began to surrender to the government, with a total of 9,749 men surrendered to the government and a total of 6,004 light and heavy weapons, including surface-to-air missiles. After attending the surrender ceremony at his headquarters in Hung Muang, Khun Sa went into seclusion in Yangon. On October 27, 2007, Khun Sa passed away in Yangon, and the legend of the once known as the world's No. 1 drug lord finally came to an end. ”
