The "second egg" brother here refers to my colleague Yang Hong when I worked in Zambia, Africa. The reason why he has this "Ya name" is derived from his English name: Adam. Later, colleagues called and called, so the English name was "sinicized" and evolved into "Erdaner", because it felt smooth at the same time, it felt more "kind", hehe!Yang Hong is a native of Shanghai, tall, good-looking, and dignified. I remember when I first arrived in Zambia, he picked me up at the airport. The first time I saw him, I thought he was very much like a "leader", the style of elegant leadership. The name "Erdaner" may sound a bit rustic and casual, but he himself is a veteran professional, who worked for Siemens before coming to Africa and was in charge of research and development.
Later, I found out that Brother Erdan'er was an old African, and when I first arrived in Zambia, he had been in Zambia for many years. His lover is a university teacher, and he is also a very good person!I once went to Zambia to see him one year, and he spoke very politely!He was very smart and powerful, and later bought four houses in Shanghai through his own **.
Although Brother Erdan'er is elegant, he also has his own personality, and he is not lacking in blood and strength. It is said that once he went to the local cinema to watch a movie, and there was a local, who was still a soldier, and took his girlfriend and sat behind his second brother. When watching the movie, the man actually put his foot on the back of the second brother's seat. Brother Erdaner told the man to put his feet down. The other party was arrogant, saying, "This is my country, I can put my feet as I want, you can control it." As a result, Brother Erdan'er was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a lighter and began to burn each other's feet!The other party was a little surprised, I guess I didn't expect this outsider to resist so much?!So he stood up, and Brother Erdan'er stood up without hesitation, and the posture was "Do you want to fight?"The other party saw that Brother Erdan'er had such a tough attitude, and coupled with Brother Erdan'er's own tall stature, he didn't dare to blow up the thorn, and left with his girlfriend stupidly.

There is also a joke, which is even more exaggerated!One day after work, my colleagues went back to the station together. Brother Erdan'er drove. Our financial boss, Ahu, joked with him, and in order to amuse him, he reached out to grab the second brother who was driving in front. I thought that Brother Erdan'er didn't dare to move because he was driving, but he didn't expect that he would let go of the steering wheel with both hands and turn around to grab Ahu. At that time, all the people in the car were frightened and screamed in panic!He turned around and continued to drive with a smug face on his face.
At that time, Ahu laughed and said, "You are awesome, now I completely believe that you burned people's feet with a lighter." Haha!
Another time, even more fierce!That time was in the bank during the day, and he just finished exchanging some dollars and walked out of the bank, and he was robbed!There are two or three people on the other side, and it should be a gang. After snatching the bag of the second egg, he started to run wildly!(The law and order situation in Zambia in Africa, although it is said to be better than that of war-torn countries, is definitely not as good as internal security.) Especially in some "sensitive places", such as bars, banks, larger shops, slums, etc., these places are very unsafe for some "rich foreigners". ）
Brother Erdan'er was "stunned" by this sudden situation!But I don't know where the courage came from in an instant, and after a few seconds, he immediately rushed to catch up!I kept running behind the robbers. Fortunately, after running for a while, Brother Erdan'er saw a police car and hurried over to call the police. So later, Brother Erdan'er took the police and drove the police car to chase in the direction where the robbers fled.
Those who robbed things should be repeat offenders, because the police seemed to know that they lived in **, and the police car later drove directly to a village and drove directly in front of a broken house. A man came out of it, as if he knew the gang of looters. Brother Erdan said that the police were still very good at that time, and asked the man with a worn-out AK47 submachine gun.
Later, when Brother Erdan'er talked to us about this incident, we were still half-joking and half-worried: "Fortunately, I met the police that time, otherwise you would have run into the village by following the chase alone, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
This section of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, is a relatively busy traffic street. Brother Erdaner has his bold and brave side, and he also has a soft-hearted side.
One weekend, Brother Erdaner played golf with a client. At the end of the day, he suddenly realized that some of the dollar cash he had put in the bag was missing!At that time, he put less than 1,000 dollars in it, which is not much, but this matter feels a little "blocked"!Did it fall out?So I found the staff of the stadium to help me look for it in the stadium, but there was nothing.
Later, Brother Erdan'er suddenly remembered, "Is it possible to be a caddy?".So I called the police. The initial judgment of the police was also to suspect the caddie in the first place. Caddies are registered at the course, so it's actually easy to find. Soon the police took the second brother to the caddy's home, and the other party saw that the police were coming, and they quickly confessed honestly.
But when Brother Erdan'er saw the actual situation of the caddy's family, he relented a little, because their family was too poor!How poor is it?There is a word in Chinese to describe poverty, called "four walls of home", this word is not too much to describe the caddy's home, there is really nothing but four walls!And their house still has no roof!I usually sleep on a broken sofa that I picked up.
So Brother Erdaner took the initiative to say to the police, "Forget it, let's not pursue it." Then the money should help help them.
Brother Erdan'er has also learned the local language because he has been in Africa for many years, and he also likes to eat local food, and he has a good relationship with many political leaders in Zambia. He once drove alone on the way back to the company from the countryside at night, when the car broke down and was thrown on the side of the road in the wilderness, there was no mobile phone signal, there was no one around, there was no car on the road, and he had to sleep alone in the car for a night. He also had malaria, and at his worst time, he used to take medicine for malaria, and his two fingers were swollen like cacti. Once on the road to the car was drunk by the police who drank "interrogated" him for no reason, he asked for money to buy Coke, but Brother Erdaner insisted on not giving it, and finally Brother Erdaner wanted to call the police to complain about the police drinking during working hours and indiscriminately enforcing the law. was also once rear-ended by an illegal car because of driving, lying on the side of the road with blood on his face.
Many years later, Brother Erdan'er was promoted to the general manager of the Zambia Country Representative Office because of his great contribution and good performance, and because he was an old African. At that time, I had been back to China for a long time, but when I heard the news, I was still happy for him!It's not easy!After so many years, it has finally come to fruition!I also think that Brother Erdaner likes Zambia very much in Africa, I believe he should be full of affection there, this payment is not easy, his lover has been in China, and the two of them have not had children because they have been separated from each other all year round.
One day later, a piece of news came that shocked me extremely much: Brother Erdan'er passed away in Zambia. It is said that he had just returned from a meeting at the embassy and died of a sudden heart attack not long after he was at the representative office. OMG!It's really unimaginable!Such a good living person, only in his 40s, is in the prime of his career!He left so quietly and suddenly.
Brother Erdan'er stayed forever in Zambia, Africa, which he liked, and slept on this land of Africa. Everyone misses him very much, and every time our former colleagues talk about him, his gentle and amiable voice and smile seem to be right in front of him, and everything is as kind as yesterday.
Our kind and lovely second brother, may you be well in heaven!
