Chinese people visiting Pakistan find they are treated like VIPs there. Such a feeling is further strengthened by visits to other countries, An said.
“When we went out shopping on holiday, the shop owners often invited us to go inside to enjoy a short break. We told them we didn t want to buy anything. Yet, they were still so hospitable and served cold drink or milk tea while telling us we all looked like Zhou Enlai, and thus were their friends.
Such a sincere feeling was even stronger in Lahore. An said, “in 1965, the Lahore Railway Station was shelled by the Indian army. The Chinese Government issued a stern warning to India while giving great support to Pakistan to ensure the safety of local residents. After that, the locals were so grateful to all Chinese looking like Premier Zhou.
