The sudden abduction of a 78-year-old Chinese businessperson from the streets of Myanmar on a cold winter day on Dec. 18 was the beginning of a nightmare for Li and his family.

That day, as usual, Lee went to Myanmar alone for business. However, when he reached a remote street, several militants suddenly emerged from the shadows. Armed with guns and hideous faces, they quickly surrounded Lee. Lee tried to resist, but was outnumbered and quickly subdued.

Just as the kidnappers were about to take Li away, Li's wife, Ms. Wang, rushed to the scene on hearing the news. She witnessed the scene of her husband's kidnapping and was devastated. In extreme anger and worry, Ms. Wang rushed forward desperately to try to stop the kidnappers. However, the kidnappers apparently did not expect Ms. Wang's appearance, and they violently dragged her away, causing Ms. Wang to be injured in the leg.

Seeing his wife injured, Li was even more desperate. His heart was full of thoughts for his family and longing for life, and he began to cry for help. Fortunately, the Myanmar police rushed to the scene after receiving the call. In a fierce exchange of fire, the police successfully killed six kidnappers and rescued Li and Ms. Wang.

The case has attracted widespread attention in Myanmar, where many sympathized with Ms. Li and Ms. Wang, and praised the Myanmar police for their efficient operation. According to the police, the kidnappers who were killed were members of a local criminal gang that had repeatedly carried out kidnapping, robbery and other criminal activities in Myanmar.

In-depth analysis of this incident, we can see that what happened to Li and Ms. Wang is not an exception. In recent years, with the increasingly close economic and trade exchanges between China and Myanmar, more and more Chinese citizens have gone to Myanmar to engage in business activities. However, this also provides opportunities for criminals. Therefore, how to ensure the personal and property safety of Chinese citizens in Myanmar has become an urgent problem to be solved.

First, the government should strengthen security education for Chinese citizens in Myanmar to raise their security awareness. Second, it should strengthen cooperation with the Myanmar police to jointly combat transnational crimes. In addition, for Chinese citizens in Myanmar, a sound emergency response mechanism should be established, and assistance can be provided quickly in the event of an emergency.

During this incident, Li and Ms. Wang's family members undoubtedly suffered tremendous psychological pressure. They not only have to face the loss of contact with their loved ones, but also bear the pressure of public opinion from all walks of life. Therefore, all walks of life should also give them more care and support to help them get through this difficult time.

In conclusion, Li's kidnapping in Myanmar reminds us once again that ensuring the personal safety of Chinese citizens overseas is a long-term and arduous task. Only through the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and individuals can we ensure a safer and more stable living and working environment for Chinese citizens overseas.
