Today's  " Cloud Gala" activity touched me a lot. I felt the demeanor of the young people of China and Myanmar with a piece of "Ashu Se", and a song of "No Love Between Mountains and Nights", which sang the long-standing pauk-phaw friendship between China and Myanmar. I work in Wanding, just across the river from Bangsai Town in Myanmar. Although Wanding is small, it has left a lot of diplomatic stories between the prime ministers of China and Myanmar, and recorded the glorious development of China-Myanmar border trade. It is a monument, engraved with affection and solemnity. We will use this event as a push to actively leverage the advantages of human ties, blood ties, and kinship, and use practical actions to make the flower of China-Myanmar friendship bloom more brilliantly.
