Faced with reporters, Li Liang recounted his heart wrenching experiences in Myanmar, and the following is his self narration:
Cliff not restrained
The reason why I went to Myanmar started with meeting Lao Xiao.
In 2018, my sports goods store was unable to make ends meet due to poor management, and at the same time, the 100000 yuan loan I was burdened with to expand my business has expired. Under various pressures, I have a very urgent need for funds.
In April of the same year, I heard from a friend that a boss surnamed Xiao with extraordinary economic strength had returned to his hometown. As I was eager to make money, I took a try and asked my friend to meet Mr. Xiao. In contact, I found that he not only wears a luxury watch and drives a luxury car, but also is very generous and helpful, which makes me feel respected. As the repayment date approached, I expressed my desire to make money with Mr. Xiao.
Myanmar, this is the land of wealth that Mr. Xiao described to me. He said that there are many industries waiting to prosper over there, and money is easy to earn. He also showed me the border defense documents for traveling to Myanmar, claiming that he only made a lot of money by doing business locally.
I am tempted. After discussing the details of the itinerary with Mr. Xiao, I took a train with 70 yuan from my hometown Anhui Province to Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, waiting for Mr. Xiao to arrange for illegal immigration. During my two days living in the county, a restaurant owner chatted with me and revealed, "We often hear gunshots coming from outside the country. I heard it's very dangerous there."
These words made me hesitate. Two days later, Mr. Xiao came to me in a luxury car. I asked him to verify the authenticity of the restaurant owner's statement, and he said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I just got rich in Myanmar, isn't it okay now?"
I dispelled my doubts. In retrospect, I missed my last chance to turn the tide at the cliff.
That evening, I was asked to turn off my phone and take a motorcycle into the dense forest. After wandering around in the forest for an hour, I arrived at a river.
"After crossing the river, it's Myanmar," the motorcycle driver said to me in broken Chinese. I got off the car carrying my luggage and saw a kayak speeding towards me from the river. There are already 5 people sitting inside the boat, except for the pilot, the other 4 people are all carrying luggage and looking dusty.
"It's okay, there's a companion." I comforted myself in my heart as I stepped onto the kayak.
Late at night, we arrived across the river and saw a van waiting there. After getting on the car, the daggers in the hands of the two big men in the front row shimmered with cold light. I sat quietly with the others, and no one dared to speak.
The van stopped in front of a casino in Xiaomengla, the capital of the fourth special zone in eastern Shan State, Myanmar. After I was kicked out of the car, the van rushed away. Not long after, lost and confused, I saw Mr. Xiao coming out of the casino. He arranged for me to stay in the casino and took me for a few small bets.
In middle age, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't have imagined a casino with such luxurious decoration and huge trading volume. I quickly became addicted to this life of extravagance and extravagance.
I was sold
For many days afterwards, Mr. Xiao and I lingered in the casino, day and night without distinction. On the morning of the fifth day, the casino manager approached me with a thug, claiming that Mr. Xiao had lost a large amount of money and owed a huge high interest loan. He had fled and mortgaged me to the casino.
In other words, I was sold.
At this moment, regret surged in my heart, but I had no other choice. The casino requires me to work as a waiter and use my salary to pay off debts. To avoid being beaten, I had to start working in a state of despair and panic. In the following six months, I worked as a "broker" in a casino, helping retail stores with odd jobs. In addition to paying off debts, I also saved some money. But at that time, I had already become addicted to gambling, and soon, my little savings were squandered on the gambling table.
Gradually, I felt that I didn't have enough money to spend, and my desire to return to my home country gradually weakened. In order to earn money and maintain my desire for gambling and enjoyment, I became a "broker" in a video game city in Xiaomengla City in 2019.
This is a job that will affect the rest of my life.
The vast majority of video game cities in Xiaomengla City are gambling venues. I only need to recruit gamblers and lure them to pay for gambling, and then I can get a daily salary of 200 yuan.
At first, this salary was barely enough to cover my expenses, but as my gambling funds grew, I had to find more ways to earn money.
At the beginning of 2020, I met Ah Jian in the video game city.
Ajian, who also enjoys a materialistic lifestyle, invited me to search for a bank card for the company. "One card costs 1000 yuan," he said. I have been exposed to telecommunications fraud in the local area, so I naturally understand that he asked me to find a bank card to launder money for a fraud group. But without hesitation, I agreed.
The next day, we arrived at a tightly closed courtyard in Xiaomengla City and walked in with luggage. In front of a row of flat houses, there were five or six armed personnel holding submachine guns staring at us. At the same time, the iron door behind us was closed.
I don't feel right, but the black muzzle pointed towards me, and I had to grit my head and walk into an office with Ajian. A middle-aged woman was bending over and pleading with the boss at her desk, "Give me another two days, I really don't have any money." The boss snorted coldly, picked up the electric stick on the table, and hit her. She screamed in agony, her body stiffened, and she fell to the ground. The other thugs then dragged her into the next room.
With a loud bang, the door was closed and my heart skipped a beat. Subsequently, Ajian and I were confiscated of our phones and luggage, and under the pressure and surveillance of our leader, we called our friends to borrow bank cards. That night, when we were successful in a scam together, we borrowed two bank cards, which happened to be used for payment. The total fraud amount of 45000 yuan was the result of the collaboration between two fraud gangs. Therefore, the money needs to be divided into 15000 yuan and 30000 yuan to be paid separately. However, due to Ah Jian's incorrect reporting of the card number, the 30000 yuan that should have been given to the leader was transferred to another gang account, and the other party refused to refund, which can cause trouble for the leader.
Late at night, Ajian was pulled to the next room by the thug, and I heard the sound of the stick hitting the meat and Ajian's screams. Then, the leader used a gun to escort me onto the car. As the car drove to a building, he pointed a gun at my head and said, "The gang that swallowed 30000 yuan is upstairs. Go and ask for money!"
There is no other way. I had no choice but to enter the building and plead for a refund in a low voice, but the other party found me talkative and pulled out the pistol from my waist. In an instant, the sound of the gun exploded above my head, and I felt a bullet flying past my scalp, causing me to shiver all over.
You really fired! I hurriedly ran down the stairs, only to hear someone shouting loudly behind me. In order to save my life, I had to board the leader's car again.
The money won't come back. After returning, the leader demanded that I and Ajian compensate for the losses. Ajian's waist had already been bruised in a circle, and I was frightened by the sound of gunshots, feeling restless. In desperation, Ajian borrowed a friend's car as collateral to the leader, and we were released.
I just want to survive
After being released, I should have returned to my home country.
But now that I have become addicted to gambling, I have returned to work in the video game city and have met several members of the electronic fraud and money laundering gang, gradually falling into depravity.
At the beginning of 2022, Mr. Zhang, who often comes to gamble, approached me in the hope of transferring a sum of funds back to China. I know that he, who is engaged in telecommunications network fraud, wants to transfer the stolen money. Transferring funds requires money laundering, and as an introducer, I also have commission. Moreover, at this time, I have a good relationship with Huang, the local person responsible for money laundering. So, I agreed with Mr. Zhang.
On that day, Mr. Zhang successfully transferred the first 30000 yuan back to China. The next day, the bank card that received this fund was frozen by the bank.
Did the domestic police find out? I feel anxious.
Huang, however, became accustomed to this and requested that I provide a new bank card to prepare for Mr. Zhang's subsequent transfer.
Afterwards, I instructed three fellow villagers to apply for 8 bank cards and expressed my gratitude to them in the form of a reward of 200 yuan for each card, which was 10000 yuan. At the same time, in order to avoid repeating the same mistake, I request my wife to withdraw the funds as soon as they arrive and transfer them to the designated account.
Things are going smoothly, and these bank cards account for hundreds of thousands of yuan per day, and our income is also considerable.
In May 2022, the situation suddenly changed, and a bank card belonging to a fellow villager was suddenly frozen while transferring funds, making it impossible for hundreds of thousands of yuan of funds to flow. That night, Huang, who was furious, demanded compensation from me. After I refused, he hung me on the windowsill and ordered four thugs to take turns beating me with steel pipes and swing sticks. After about half an hour of beating, the thugs started taking drugs in the room and then took turns beating me violently. All night long, I was torn and bruised all over with blood.
"I can't stand it anymore, I just want to live," I said to my wife on the phone the next morning. She immediately paid compensation to Huang so that I could survive.
I narrowly escaped death twice and recognized the local situation. In order to no longer live a life of anxiety, I had the idea of returning to my home country. But I was injured and needed treatment, and I didn't save much money. I was even more afraid of going back and facing legal sanctions.
In the following year, I kept in touch with my family and learned that three of my friends and wife who assisted me in applying for a bank card had been investigated by the public security organs for withdrawing money and making payments. At the same time, Yang Zhihu, a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the High tech Zone Branch of Urumqi Public Security Bureau, contacted me and gave me a policy lecture, encouraging me to return to China and surrender. On May 28th, after careful consideration and physical recovery, I surrendered to the customs department under the joint persuasion of Yang Zhihu and the Qianshan police in Anhui.
