This was the first time Wuyan met King Sihanouk, and he couldn't help but be serious: this legendary king and this legendary queen.
In 1970, a military minister who served as the chief of police during the French colonial period, served as the governor during the Japanese occupation period, and served as the commander of the armed forces during the Kingdom of Norodom, General Ronno of Cambodia took advantage of the treatment of the head of state of Prince Sihanouk in France, and launched a coup with Sihanouk's cousin Prince Srimada and deposed the king. In helplessness, Sihanouk had to take the beautiful wife of French and Italian origin Princess Monik to exile in Beijing, establish the Cambodian National Liberation Front, and compete with the three-sentence slave Langno, who was supported by the United States.
In order to relieve the boredom of the prince who lives in a foreign country, Zhou Enlai arranged for Sihanouk to visit scenic spots in various parts of China. At that time, the Chinese movies were "News Brief", and the current time was a documentary of Prince Sihanouk visiting a certain area of China.
The prince in the camera and his beautiful wife, who is inseparable from him, suddenly became a big star in Chinese movies.
As for this beautiful Princess Monique, all the Chinese admire her. Her amazing beauty has become popular among 800 million men, women, and young people in China. As long as she appears in the boring "News Brief", everyone will stretch their necks to read, and after reading it, they will scold the photographer for taking her for being too short.
It is said that when Sihanouk visited the Soviet Union, the General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party Khrushchev violated diplomatic practices and deliberately arranged for the princely wife, who looked a bit like the Queen of England, to sit opposite him to negotiate the contract for the Soviet hydropower station project to aid Cambodia. That should be the princely position. Even the old-fashioned and silent Foreign Minister Gromiko felt that the depression he suffered from prematurely would be relieved to a certain extent. Thinking about it now, the popular female movie stars, such as Gong Li, may not have the sexy and charm of the princely wife.
At that time, citizens with extremely poor spiritual life often compared Cambodian first lady Monik with Chinese first lady ** while watching movies, because these two national ladies often appeared in the same shot.
The result of the comparison is frustrating. The prince's wife is graceful and dignified. The wife of our mother-in-law is both artificial and lacks the charm of a woman. She likes to wear a pair of black wide-brimmed glasses that are more suitable for men to wear. She likes to wear a super long coat that never buttons on the outside, a four-pocket Zhongshan suit that always closes the neck inside, and a veldling harness that looks ugly on Wang Hongwen. She likes to look serious and resolute on her face, and she will never smile at the people in the camera. She is even not easy for people to tell whether she is a man or a woman.
Sihanouk's life in China was relaxed and happy. Pol Pot, Josen Pan and other generals on the front line conquered the world for him. He was accompanied by his beautiful wife in the back of China, and the family sang and danced every day. When they were in high spirits, Sihanouk would write a few songs himself and then handed them over to the prince to rehearse so that he could make guest performances during the welcome dinner or watching artistic performances. The titles of the songs are usually "Ah, China, My Dear Second Motherland", "Long Live, People's China; Long Live, Chairman **", etc.
The Chinese privately gave Sihanouk a friendly nickname called "Hehehehaha". Because he was short, he was always smiling. When he smiled, a pair of deep dimples appeared on his fat face.
With the support of China, the struggle situation of the Sihanoukville National Liberation Front in Cambodia has gradually improved. In order to defeat the Langno group, it was declared illegally by Sihanoukville as an illegal organization. Now it is picked up as a weapon by the head of state who is in a state where he is in a state of desperate attempt to seek medical treatment. It is used to deal with the US lackeys. The Pol Potti Red Cambodian guerrillas have grown rapidly under this international background and overthrew the Langno government and seized national power.
Later, the facts of the scene proved that Prince Sihanouk's chess was as ridiculous as the Eastern Han royal family in the Three Kingdoms period, who urgently summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing to protect his car. He originally wanted to adopt a wild cat and go home to treat mice. However, the wild cat grew up and turned into a hungry tiger. He bit a quarter of the family members to death. Prince Sihanouk was placed under house arrest by Pol Pot. Several relatives of the royal family of Norodom were unable to escape this most comprehensive tragedy in the history of this century.
The second day after the Khmer Rouge occupied Phnom Penh, it began to drive out two million residents from the city to the countryside. It was called the campaign against idle food. Even the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were not spared. Within a few days, cities across the country became dead empty cities. Exiled and the farmers in the former countryside were divided into military institutions and men and women lived in their respective barracks. Even the couple could only get together once a week under the premise of obtaining approval. This perfectly fulfilled Pol Pot's ideal of making a perfect life.
Pol Pot led an unprecedented revolution in Cambodia. The rich were destroyed. All became poor. The cities were destroyed. Everyone picked up hoes to farm. Phnom Penh, known as the East Paris, became an uninhabited ghost town. Furniture, refrigerators, televisions, cars and other daily necessities were regarded as the object of revolution. They were burned and smashed; gold, silver, US dollars and banknotes became dung and lost value.

If you throw away the product, don’t use it. Use sweat to cleanse the heart and remove the noodles.
Close schools, temples, and forcibly implement agriculturalism, driving more than 80% of urban people to farm in the countryside; the more knowledge, the more complex the mind and the more bad ideas, and they need to be transformed; if the transformation is not good, it must be eliminated, so simple that it will be eliminated.
All intellectuals, middle class, monks, and ethnic minorities were all killed. Cambodia became a city of war. In four years, more than 2 million people were executed nationwide, while Cambodia was only five million people at that time. It is said that in order to save bullets in the revolution, young executioners simply used hoes to cut off the prisoners' heads.
Finally, the family also disintegrated. The male labor team and the female labor team were established. They were forced to work, and they all ate big pot meals together, and they also wore black revolutionary clothes or military uniforms. Later, he even believed that eating three meals a day was unnecessary, and two meals were enough; marriage did not require free love, and the organization was old and designated to match. If they were weak and lazy, they could not stand hungry and could not stand hungry and secretly fishing and shrimps or picking fruits, it would cause death.
These plots were never seen in books or newspapers. Under the introduction of the embassy staff, Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He thought that in addition to the period of the Cultural Revolution in China, Cambodia also had such fanatical revolutionaries! No wonder the Khmer Rouge received strong support from the country at that time. It is estimated that Pol Pot's approach was very much in favor of some people.
Fan Wubing looked at the weather-beaten king and suddenly became very impressed by him. After so many things, he was able to stand firm and finally regained the throne. You can imagine how much courage and perseverance it takes.
Thinking of this, Fan Wubing suddenly stood up and saluted the king again.
Everyone here was stunned for a moment, and then they figured it out. It was probably Fan Wubing's respect to the king, which was the extra gift in addition to diplomatic etiquette. So everyone was very happy and put their hands together, not knowing what they were reciting in their mouths, probably Buddhist praises and other things.
The king himself was stunned for a moment, then returned to his usual smile, nodded to Fan Wubing, gave a greeting, and then asked someone to serve the wine.
Cambodia is a Buddhist country. Generally speaking, it does not eat much meat. However, during festivals or major events, it does not avoid meat, and there are few big fish and meat. However, this time Fan Wubing came here just in time, just as the royal fasting, so most of the food comes with fruits and vegetarian food, but it is exquisitely made. Some dishes were learned from China at first glance, which makes people laugh a little.
However, Cambodians like to drink, and many fruit wines are done very well. Fan Wubing tasted some and praised them. The owner was very happy after hearing this and repeatedly advised Fan Wubing and others to drink more.
Fan Wubing was still a little uncertain about the purpose of the king's invitation to come. Although he did save the life of Princess Norodom Sangria, the royal family also had a large population. It would be better if the king and his family were going to invite him to come and visit him because of this matter?
If you really have such great face, you should have received the invitation a little earlier, right? At least when the king ascended the throne, you should always receive an invitation. As for whether you go or not, it's a big deal.
During the meal, many royal family members came to toast Fan Wubing, which made Fan Wubing feel a little fluttering. He thought that my buddy is really developed now. Even if they are small countries, they are also royal families! Although Cambodia has few people, its history is not short. It has been almost two thousand years of historical heritage. With such a long and long dynasty rule, the nobles among the nobles treated themselves so politely. It was really surprising to say it.
However, Fan Wubing also found a situation that was a bit unexpected, that is, as the main driving force for inviting her to come, Princess Norodom Sangria did not appear at the banquet. Speaking of which, Fan Wubing still missed this princess who grew up abroad. From her, she didn't see any princess's airs, and she looked more like a girl next door.
After everyone had eaten and drank for a while, the king awarded Fan Wubing several gold or gem-inlaid medals and ribbons, and also presented him with a treasure knife, which ended the banquet.
After everyone left the Golden Palace, the royal officials in charge of the reception said to Fan Wubing with some envy, "His Majesty the King asked Mr. Fan Wubing to stay overnight in the palace."
"Ah?!" Everyone who heard the news looked stunned and looked at Fan Wubing.
