people know the real situation. For example, they don't want people know we are--Burmese people are poor and very, very bad conditions. Jeffrey Brown: Much of her writing told of the plight of poor villagers. In one instance, she wrote of an uncle who was forced to work in a labor camp because he couldn't pay a government tax.
Khet Mar: He couldn't pay money. So, he went there and working in the very hot weather, and he died.
