After the outbreak of the Kokang War, why did Peng Jiasheng, the "dare king", appeal to Chinese people all over the world to help Kokang?
The "Kokang Autonomous Region in Northern Shan State" is located between China and Myanmar, also known as the Kokang region. This area has always been attached to the Qing dynasty in history, and was later forcibly included in British Burma by British colonists. The main ethnic group in the Kokang area is the Kokang ethnic group, which is a "late Ming immigrant" following the Nanming emperor Zhu Youlang. Although the Burmese government defines Kokang people as ethnic minorities, more than 90% of its population are of Han descent. Today, the eating habits and customs of Kokang people are basically the same as those of Yunnan people, and the language they speak is also Yunnan dialect. To this end, many experts and scholars believe that the courageous people are part of overseas Chinese, and if they are divided by their place of origin, they naturally belong to the "Yunnan Gang". Kokang is a very turbulent area. Due to the contradiction between the Kokang people and the Myanmar government, armed conflicts often occur between the two sides, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Due to the Burmese government's "Great Burmese" doctrine in China, more than 30 ethnic groups, including Kokang, have not been treated fairly. Many courageous people can't travel freely in Myanmar without identification. They are restricted from buying air tickets and their free activities are strictly restricted. The Burmese government also forced Kokang people not to leave Kokang area at will. The courageous people are extremely indignant at the actions of the Myanmar government. Although the Kokang people are far behind the Myanmar government in weapons, equipment and financial personnel, they still organize armed forces to fight, among which the Kokang Allied Forces led by Peng Jiasheng have the greatest influence.

When it comes to Peng Jiasheng, the outside world has always been controversial about him, and people have different views on this "aggressive king". His opponents say that he is capricious and arbitrary, and he is a new generation of drug king after Khun Sa and Luo Xinghan. His supporters believe that Peng Jiasheng defended the interests of the courageous people and led them to rebel against the Burmese government, and he is a well-deserved national hero. Undeniably, under the leadership of Peng Jiasheng, the Kokang people reached a peace agreement with the Myanmar government, which brought peace and development to the Kokang area. Therefore, Peng Jiasheng occupies a lofty position in the hearts of courageous people and is deeply respected by them.

In 2009, due to the intensification of conflicts again, the Kokang Allied Forces led by Peng Jiasheng broke out with the Burmese government forces, and the Burmese government forces quickly defeated the Kokang Allied Forces, so Peng Jiasheng had to go into exile in other countries. After escaping from Kokang, Peng Jiasheng went to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries, during which he almost died of severe gallstones. 15, Peng Jiasheng sent a letter of help to Chinese people all over the world, hoping that Chinese people all over the world would lend a helping hand and support the brave people in their struggle for national interests, in order to share the same ancestry with the Han people.
