The holidays in Myanmar's Fourth Special Zone are very interesting. Since the six-day working system is implemented, the public holidays are longer on some important festivals.

The New Year holiday is five days, that is, the first to fifth days of January every year is the first public holiday of the year. This is because January 4 is the National Day in Myanmar. It is usually a three-day holiday. Adding to the two-day New Year's Day holiday, it becomes a five-day holiday. In addition, the weekend holidays on the other day will be extended to six days in the long run;

The second holiday is the Lunar New Year of the year. Since more than 60% of the residents in the Special Administrative Region come from the mainland, this holiday was decided after repeated discussions by the people's representatives - ten days! From the 28th day of the 12th lunar month to the seventh day of the Spring Festival, two Sundays spanning two weeks will be added, so the long holiday will be postponed to the ninth day of the 12th lunar month;

The remaining seven-day holiday is the May Day International Labor Day every year. The other five festivals, including the Water Splashing Festival and Lantern Festival, are all public holidays, including the Fourth Special Zone’s own Army Day - the 11th and 4th day, to commemorate the day when the Meng Lei regime was seized.

On February 8th, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the People's Livelihood Daily grandly announced an important news: At the invitation of the US Congress, the Folk Charity Foundation and Harvard University, General Corning, Chairman of the Fourth Special Zone, began on February 12th, together with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Myanmar, General Mangmeng, Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Myanmar, General Mangmeng, Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, led a delegation of the SAR government to make an official and friendly visit to the United States for an eight-day official visit. The delegation also included General Peng Jiafu, Vice Chairman of the First Special Zone, General Xiao Youming, Vice Chairman of the Second Special Zone, and General Ding Yannian, Vice Chairman of the Third Special Zone.

As soon as the news came out, the military and civilians of the Fourth Special Zone were filled with joy. The monthly report on economic development achievements and the work report released by the SAR government on January 20 have made all the people full of hope for future development. Now seeing that the leader they support has been invited to visit from the world's No. 1 power, the people's self-confidence and pride have reached a climax without realizing it, and this good news spread throughout every corner of the Fourth Special Zone in just two days.

On February 10, six officials from the central government of Myanmar and eleven officials from four SAR governments gathered in Jingdong. When the delegation saw the lineup of up to 36 people sent by Corning's ministry, they were very moved that the officials who visited with Corning this time include Pan Shaoqun, Vice Chairman of the Fourth SAR, Liu Hailan, Member of the Military Commission, Liu Wenxun, Director of the Radio and Television Bureau, and Liu Yiqing, Director of the TV Station, are all familiar figures. In particular, Pan Shaoqun, who is in charge of the economy and has always appeared with a rigorous, knowledgeable, gentle and pragmatic image. Liu Yiqing, who was instantly popular throughout Myanmar for producing a large-scale TV documentary "Awakening Myanmar" and hosting the "police attack incident", are deeply respected and loved by everyone.

At the reception dinner specially held by General Guan Nai, Noramin saw the key figures from the four special zones having dinner with him and having a friendly conversation. He was very moved for a while. He said to everyone: "I am very honored to be able to exchange opinions with everyone in close contact and discuss state affairs together. This is a wish I had been looking forward to for a long time but could not achieve! This time I thank Chairman Corning for providing us with such a rare opportunity. Here. I wish you a cup and wish this trip a great success!"

Putting down the wine glass, tall and dark-faced Minister of the Civil Affairs Department stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, you may not know that this trip was achieved after repeated communication with the United States. Originally, the US government only planned to invite Chairman Corning to visit, but Chairman Corning had a strong national and national interests in his heart, a broad career and a view of the overall situation. He solemnly presented his suggestions to the central government and frankly expressed his attitude to the United States. This was in exchange for the concessions from the Americans. It was amazing! This provided a rare opportunity for the central government and the governments of the SAR to show themselves. I hope everyone will seize it, show their friendly and progressive side to the world, and do their best to change the world's hostility and prejudice towards our Myanmar."

Faced with everyone's unanimous praise, Corning quickly asked Meimeiming to sit down, then waved his hand, and said humbly: "Don't be polite! This is the responsibility and obligation of our Fourth SAR government. There is nothing worth mentioning. For a long time, European and American countries have used their omnipresent strong influence for their own interests, without sufficient understanding and dialogue, to convey one-sided and even hostile and discriminatory misinformation to the world, which has caused great misunderstandings about our kind and kind people and the government that pursues continuous progress. Our government has also not been able to show the world a real Myanmar to the world for this reason. Therefore, we must change the wrong view of the world through our own efforts. Now with this opportunity, we certainly cannot give up, not to mention that many of the advantages of Americans do require us to learn humbly."

Peng Jiafu nodded and expressed his opinion with emotion: "We are very grateful to Chairman Kang for this rare opportunity. Since our four special zones strengthened cooperation and exchanges, we have achieved great results, especially the economic development far exceeds our previous expectations. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, Chairman Kang's Fourth Special Zone has become the leader in economic development in northern Myanmar, and Chairman Kang's mind and courage are indeed worthy of the admiration and learning of all the leaders of our special zones."

"I feel the same about this! At the end of last year, after our two small hydropower stations were completed and generated, their waists suddenly became much harder. When we completed and generated power from the upper medium-sized power station in Nanlei River jointly operated by the Fourth Special Zone, we believe that with abundant power guarantee, our development speed will be faster!" Xiao Youming, vice chairman of the Second Special Zone, took over Peng Jiafu's words and said with deep emotion: "Originally, some people in the mainland always used electricity to stumbling our necks, and they always found excuses to stop our power supply. Now they never dare to do this again. Especially,

It was this time that the whole of Myanmar took action. After the united protest against the South Koreans, the economic pressure put on us by the arrogant consortiums in the mainland disappeared immediately. This incident made us feel deeply. It seems that we must unite and seek development together. The power of a special zone is too small, but if four special zones, or even our entire Myanmar, no one dares to ignore this power! This time we were invited by Chairman Kang to visit the United States together, we would never dare to think about it in advance. Thank you very much for your generosity!”

Corning smiled slightly: "Uncle Ming. You don't have to be so polite. This trip has great benefits for our four special zones. For a long time, have Americans and European countries always accused Shan State of northern Myanmar as the source of drugs and sin? This time you can also go to the US Congress to talk and ask who brought drugs to our ancient land and poison our country and nation? Although we generously told them that we are unwilling to grow and produce drugs, we need those who brought the source of sin to our land to fulfill our responsibilities and obligations. We can't let them accumulate huge wealth through drugs and develop themselves. We look back and blame us with peace of mind?"

Everyone laughed and Xiao Youming was very happy: "This is consistent with my thinking. In fact, I am ready, haha! Didn't the American Time magazine list me as the second largest drug lord in Myanmar? This time I will stand in front of them and talk about how the title of my big drug lord came from."

Noramin nodded in appreciation: "It's great, it's time to be tougher. Myanmar's long-term semi-closed policy has caused us to lose a lot of opportunities for development and has brought us heavy burdens and pressures. However, relatively speaking, even if neighboring countries completely relax themselves, they are not much better than us. Under the heavy pressure of European and American governments, few people dare to express their voices. We are going to try to change this situation. I will reveal some news to you first. Given the successful investment experience of the Fourth Special Zone in Jingdong area, our central government plans to relax the investment constraints of the four major special zones in northern Myanmar. I hope you can drive the economies of the backward provinces and regions around you, and the central government will provide a series of preferential policies."

Everyone stared at Noramin in surprise, as if they couldn't believe that the central government would give such an open-minded policy. In the past, the four special zones would be strictly restricted whenever they took their territory. They even used strong suppression policies to limit the economic expansion of the four special zones. Now they have been loosened in a blink of an eye. The rapid transformation is surprising and unbelievable.

At Noramin's gesture, she explained patiently to everyone: "You need to thank Chairman Corning and Vice Chairman Pan Shaoqun. This is the result of their repeated statements to the Central Committee. The Fourth Special Zone has done a lot of work to this. The successful operation of their foundation companies in Yangon, Mandalay, Daqili and Jingdong has dispelled the concerns of many central officials. In Myanmar, they are the only ones who generously resettled 70,000 displaced refugees for the Central Committee, vigorously defend the interests of the Central Committee in financial terms, and have reported major projects in foreign cooperation.

Submit it to the central government for filing. The Fourth Special Zone does this better than all three of you. Facts have proved that the Fourth Special Zone does not have the political and regional expansion that the central government is worried about, and does not require a non-discrete political status. Instead, it has brought the economy of Jingdong area into a rapid development track and gave the central government great support. Therefore, the central leaders reversed their previous conservative concepts and were determined to relax the backward constraints on the economic development of the four special zones. You don’t need to do business with other regions in northern Myanmar secretly. Don’t be assured and bold as you can make money, haha!”

Only then did everyone understand, but they had different understandings of beautiful words that were very handsome and elegant.

Xiao Youming and Ding Yannian knew very well that the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs had probably been bribed by Corning. If many of the bigwigs of the central government really "reversed the conservative concept", it would prove that Corning's Fourth Special Zone has established a close interest alliance among the senior officials of the central government. Otherwise, it would be impossible to open a breakthrough through economic loosening. The two of them admire Corning's wisdom and foresight ability in the future, and are also very grateful to Corning for everything he has made for his regime, and the alliance's determination is stronger.

Peng Jiafu's reaction was different. He knew clearly that the development and growth of Corning's ministry was already unstoppable. Due to geographical restrictions and some long-standing barriers, the First Special Zone was always unable to keep aligned with the other three Special Zones, and benefited the least in the SAR alliance. Although Corning acted well, as if it was always a fair deal, the First Special Zone did not gain much benefits and benefits in the political and economic cooperation of each Special Zone, which allowed Peng Jiafu and the First Special Zone to take the lead. The guide was very troubled, but it was irreproachable. After all, many cooperative projects were quickly taken away by the other two companies after one of their own parties could not make a decision. The original port advantage of the first special zone with convenient transportation has now disappeared. Ding Ying's troops and Bao Youxiang's troops both obtained policy preferential treatments from the second-level ports of the mainland government after large-scale road construction, and quickly established their own border trade zones. They no longer had to travel through the first special zone, and the dominant position of the first special zone has rapidly declined.

Peng Jiafu knew that this time Corning invited everyone to visit was nothing more than taking into account the important factor of the SAR alliance and expressing the four SARs' united political attitude to the outside world, and there was no excessive interest relationship. However, the First SAR had to consider its own interests and the current difficult situation to avoid being edged by the other three SARs with close ties and huge interest relationships. Therefore, Peng Jiafu also brought an important political task during this trip, that is, to express to Corning with a positive attitude that after deep thought, the First SAR was willing to carry out all-round cooperation with the Fourth SAR.
Chapter completed!
