Seeking pleasure: In the remote Indo-China Peninsula, there is a small village where a group of China people live in exile.

1985, I am in high school, training in a farm in Jianyang. At that time, Zhang Mingmin was very popular, and his songs were played on the radio every day. One of them kept chanting a place name: Mesler. The lyrics are like this:

& ltb> has several small villages in the remote Indochina Peninsula.

There lived a group of China people, wandering Chinese sons and daughters.

Life in other people's land is sad and tortured by war.

Take care of her, Messler, and see what we can do.

Help her, Messler, and see what we can do.

& ltb & gt

At that time, I was young and ignorant. I didn't know the history and what happened to China people in a small village in Indo-China Peninsula. However, when the melody is slow, the name Messler is deeply imprinted in my memory, like a symbol, representing the tropical humid jungle in my imagination and an unspeakable sadness.

In a flash, twenty years have passed.

Before this trip, when I was looking up information on the Internet, I came across the name Meisile, only to know that there lived a group of China people, most of whom were the descendants of the 93rd Division of the former Kuomintang. It's like plucking a string in my memory and wanting to see it.

When I set out, I specially put on a T-shirt with a map of China. From Mysore, the northernmost part of Thailand, all the way down to a place called Bampasang, the driver let us get off and transfer to Mysore's car. Don't forget to say when you arrive: you can speak Chinese when you arrive in Mysore.

There is a steep mountain road to Maisler, with many bends, but the mountains are undulating, and full of green has extremely beautiful scenery.

There are Chinese banners on the mountain road, which say "Go home for the New Year, Happy New Year" and so on. More and more houses are pasted with China Spring Festival couplets. At that time some trance.

After more than 40 minutes, Maisler arrived in a small mountain city. The first thing I saw was the glittering tower on the top of the mountain. Carrying a big bag, I walked along the slope for a while, saw the advertisement of Xinsheng Inn and walked into the small yard. A arch of bougainvillea, flowers all over the yard, flowers in front of the small house. The young lady who is hanging clothes speaks Yunnan Mandarin, which makes people feel kind.

The boss's surname is He, from Taipei. This inn has been run by his parents for more than 30 years. But the old man is old. As the eldest son, he had to come here to accompany his parents, but his tone was helpless. Lao He gave us a map of Messler drawn by himself, which carefully marked markets, schools, churches, museums, general cemeteries and even places to watch the sunrise and sunset. I can see that he really likes it here, but in a different way.

When I walked on the rolling mountain road in Messler, there was still a thin layer of fog in the distant mountains. I felt very sad when I thought of the story here.

China has a group of people who are deliberately forgotten. A piece of paper "Your department will solve it by itself" ordered them to give up. What kind of pain it is. After the pain, it is a hard life course, and I don't know when I can return. This is a history from loneliness to disability, loneliness and pain.

The Yimin Museum of Literature and History in northern Thailand is behind a secluded mountain bend in Meisle, with great momentum, but no one has been there. A little lonely. Walking into the empty exhibition hall alone is like walking in the long corridor of history. In a strange history, I watched how people of the same blood turned around in those chaotic times.

1950, in order to survive, they guarded the local opium caravan.

1in the spring of 952, the Golden Triangle began armed drug trafficking and was forced to make a living.

196 1 In the spring of, after the Burmese army launched the "Mekong Spring" campaign, it split alone. Due to the pressure of the United Nations, some of them were recalled to Taiwan Province Province, and the rest became remnants of the army, which tragically survived in the Golden Triangle area.

Going back, there are wars, big and small, how many sad separations, and a narrow escape. The officers and men of the 93rd Division of the Kuomintang dragged their children to this beautiful valley. What kind of bloodshed have they experienced in the past forty or fifty years? But they finally got rid of drugs, protected their territory for Thailand, made great contributions to Thailand, and were recruited by the king of Thailand to stand on their own feet and start a new life.

Wandering around the rich historical display in the exhibition hall, I saw such a passage: a group of forgotten people died in the battlefield and died with herbs. They were defeated, but heaven and earth did not allow them. This is the inscription of Taiwan Province writer Bai Yang. Victory, but no return, death, not commemorated, reduced to ashes in a foreign land.

After 30 years of bitter experience, even this last remnant army has gone up in smoke.

I went to the tomb of General Duan. There are many cherry trees on both sides of the mountain road. The flower just withered and fell all over the floor. Walking through a corridor full of flowers, General Cemetery is on a hill with excellent geomantic omen, facing the high and low houses in Messler. There are new flowers on the altar, and the poinsettia in the back hill is in full bloom.

Chinese schools don't start until 4: 30 every afternoon, because many students have to study in Thai schools first, and then go to Chinese schools. Only in this way can we take care of everything. Parents who send their children to schools in China are trying to keep their children from forgetting their hometown. When I walked to the school campus, the students had already started their classes. I met President Yang and Dean Ma. They told me the history of the Chinese school and asked me to visit it. The school is small, from kindergarten to high school, with more than 500 students and 20 teachers, but not entirely full-time. When not in class, they run their own tea shop, snack bar and handicraft shop. In class, I am a Chinese teacher, a math teacher and an English teacher. . . . This is a special school, where a group of people devote their lives to teaching children to speak their hometown dialect in a foreign land.

At the intersection of Meisile Chinese School, there is an old man sitting peacefully in front of his house. His name is Dening Zhang, a native of Yunnan, and he has been here for more than 50 years. We chatted together, and he told us about the war he had experienced, the pain caused by the war, the helplessness of living in a foreign country, and his desire for peace and freedom. His Myanmar wife and his three children, one in Taiwan Province Province, one in Bangkok and one with them. With these flesh-and-blood relatives, even their hometown is in sight and they can't go back.

There are still some people who just stay in Thailand as refugees. When will the emperor be strong? When will the motherland return?

There is a song in the distance, which is Teresa Teng's "Wine and Coffee", and here, the most is tea. There are many families selling tea here, and most of them are engaged in soft-branch oolong tea unique to Messler. It is said that the tea here is the best in Thailand. The climate here is very suitable for tea growing. There are many tea factories, and almost every family has its own tea garden. This is also one of the beautiful ways out for Maisler.

There is a small shop which is the studio of a famous Thai painter. The exterior walls are beautifully decorated, and the oil paintings inside are the most beautiful scenery in Shan Ye. It really looks like a paradise.

In Thai, meisle means peaceful village.
