A Memory Of My Grandparents
This ebook is to mark the hundredth anniversary
of my grandparents – U Khin Maung Latt (Chief
editor of the Working People’s Daily (1963-1968), and (Daw) Khin Myo Chit (writer of Colourful Burma, Anawrahta of
Burma, A Wonderland of Burmese Legends). They both were born in 1915.

Grandpa
was born in Monywa, Upper Burma, on August 24, and grandma in Sagaing, Upper
Burma, on 1st May. They met in wartime, passed through a hard and
poor life – they even selling the slippers on the platform of Rangoon city –
during the Japanese regime, witnessed the country’s hard time, met several
people including writers, poets, journalists, politicians, even the communists.
The idea had been in my mind since the last 1st
May of 2014, grandma’s 99th birthday. I must thank my mother for
helping me as finding old photos and information from our old library, and my
father editing my work, and my twin brother, Maung Yit – cartoonist – who became
the publisher of this ebook. Without their help, this ebook would never come
out.
The first appearance as a Kindle ebook was the
first step of our effort. Hope to see it will be appeared as a book soon. Hundreds
of photos I used in the book, and thousands of information historic or
non-historic had been dig out from their old memories, will be worth of reading
to my readers.
I
believe my grandparents are now meeting in heaven or celestial region according
to the Buddhist tradition, and I do hope they both see my works, and they might
be proud of their stupid granddaughter for digging out their old rubbish
memories not knowing which one is to be kept as secret, or which is to be
disclosed. Whether they agreed or not, their old memories are now brought to
public. As for me I would be quite
satisfied for having a chance to be born their granddaughter and presenting
their life as I see it.
