Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Ading, my time is over, it's time to go..."

When I said these words, there was vicissitudes in my eyes. I had been through so much and became penniless, but it seemed as if I had everything.

When I have no burden on me, I can leave this place without any regrets.

I even suspect that Wang Shiyue wanted to do it this way.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any evidence. Anyway, Wang Shiyue did strengthen my determination to leave in some way.

"Are you going back home?"

When Ading heard what I said, his eyes shrank back.

After that incident was over, Ading didn't leave immediately, but said he wanted to stay with me for a while.

But during this time, he only stayed in the mountains and would not be in any danger.

Now that you hear me say this myself, how can you not be excited!

"Well, wait for me to make a call and confirm it."

I nodded, and then called Qiangwei's superior. After the call was connected, I learned that in a few days, people from the country and the allied forces would be able to arrive here, and by the way, they could send us back to the country.

If this is the case, we can still endure it for a few days.

It doesn't mean that we have to leave now. After all, we have been here for so many years, and a few more days won't make a difference.

After telling Ading all this, Ading felt relieved.

After that, Ading and I spent our time on the mountain recovering from our injuries without any worries. It was a very relaxing time.

I also said that free time like this passes the fastest.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 11th.

This time, when Wang Shiyue and the others came back, they also brought back someone, a woman I was very familiar with, Bao Qing.

Bao Qing now has a dejected look on his face, with blood on his face and one of his hands missing. He looks extremely miserable.

When Bao Qing saw me, her dull eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but ask me loudly:

"Jiang Bai, did you kill my sister?"

The sound of Bao Qing gritting her teeth reached my ears.

I looked at Bao Qing and thought of how good she had been to me. I never expected that when we met again, it would be like this.

"It was me. I killed your sister."

I sighed. I really didn't know how to explain what happened to Sister Bao Qing.

Bao Xue's methods are too extreme. If she were really released, I don't know what she would do.

Besides, since you killed so many of my people, it shouldn't be too much to pay for it with your own life, right?

Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If I had been the loser, I'm afraid Bao Xue would not have been better than me.

"Bao Qing, surrender, so I can plead for you, maybe..."

Seeing that Bao Qing didn't say anything, I came to her side, was silent for a while, and said these words.

“Heh….”

Bao Qing bit her tongue and spat out blood at me.

"Haha, I was so nice to you before, I was blind, blind, sister, I came to find you..."

Bao Qing looked at me with a complicated expression and then said this.

After saying this, he bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide.

I wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was too late.

Bao Qing lay on the ground, his expression gradually becoming ugly.

"I...want to make your heart restless..."

When Bao Qing saw that I picked her up, she stretched out her remaining hand, grabbed my clothes, held them tightly, and stared at me.

Soon, Bao Qing had no breath left, but her hands were tightly grasping my clothes, refusing to let go.

"I know that I will never be able to live in peace in this life."

I shook my head, thinking about the people who died for me and all the things I had experienced. How could I possibly have a peaceful life for the rest of my life?

He reached out his hand, closed Bao Qing's eyes, and then tried to break free, but found that her hand was holding him too tightly.

I had no choice but to take off my clothes.

I put on my clothes again, and then buried Bao Qing with her sister. It could be considered that I had done something.

It turned out that the allied forces and domestic forces had already reached this place and joined forces to break the Bao family's defense line.

As for the rest of the matters, it is not our turn to get involved. Let’s go home.

When Ading and I were getting ready to drive, we could see Wang Shiyue watching us from a distance.

Although there was a complicated look in his eyes and he clenched his fists, he never came to us to say goodbye.

"Brother Bai, do you want to go and tell me..."

Ading saw Wang Shiyue standing in the distance through the rearview mirror and asked me.

"Let's go..."

I shook my head, sighed, and then said these two words.

Go and speak, what to say?

Perhaps, leaving at this time is the right thing to do.

......

After leaving Heilongshan, I first went to meet Qiangwei's boss, a very kind middle-aged man.

The dangerous items on Ading and I were confiscated.

"Although you have helped a lot in this place, after your merits and demerits are offset, I hope you can live a clean life in the future."

The middle-aged man patted my shoulder and said this.

"Then he..."

I pointed at Ading and said.

"His nationality is not Chinese, so of course his laws are not applicable to him. However, when he comes to our country, he still has to abide by the laws. Otherwise, he will be treated as he should be."

The middle-aged man glanced at Ading and said this.

It was at this time that I realized that Ading was not from China.

Yes, when Ading followed me, he didn’t say whether he was from China or not.

"Here, take this."

The middle-aged man handed something to me and Ading respectively.

"This is?"

I asked, looking at the thing in my hand.

"This is a tracker. It's not that we don't trust you, but we're afraid that you won't be able to adapt to life in China. If nothing happens in three months, we'll take it back."

The middle-aged man explained to me the purpose of the object in his hand.

After hearing this, I also understood that it is normal to be on guard against us, and it is abnormal not to be on guard against us.

"This is a pass. Take it and you can return home."

The middle-aged man handed us a pass without waiting for us to say anything.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there would be no way to return to my country.

Rubbing the pass in my hand, I couldn't help feeling a little excited. After nearly twelve years, I was finally going home.

My younger sister should also become a big girl, right?

Before leaving, I looked at the middle-aged man and asked a question:

"Rose, are you okay?"
