Theippan Maung Wa

Theippan Maung Wa, whose real name was U Sein Tin, was born in 1899 in Burma. Prepared at Oxford for the Indian Civil Service examination, he entered that body and served as a district administrator in the countryside, from which, on his tours, he drew the material for short texts given to magazines under several pseudonyms. He was one of the initiators of the Khit San movement, which renewed Burmese prose in the 1930s. Married to Khin Than Myint, he was killed by bandits near Kanbalu on 6 June 1942, the day after his birthday.
