In February, I participated in seminars in Yangon (Rangoon) and the recently constructed capital, Naypyidaw, organized by one of the country’s leading economists, U Myint. The events were momentous, owing both to large and actively engaged audiences (more than a thousand in Yangon), and to the thoughtful and moving presentations by two world-famous Burmese economists who had left the country in the 1960’s and were back for their first visit in more than four decades.
2月份，我参加了缅甸知名经济学家吴敏丹（U Myint）在仰光和新建首都内比都举行的讨论会。这两次讨论会不可不谓盛大，参与听众既多又活跃，两位20世纪60年代离开缅甸、40余年后首次回国著名缅甸经济学家做了既深刻又动人的演说。
