Brief introduction of courageous people

Kokang people live in northern Shan State, Myanmar, adjacent to Yunnan, China. The Kokang area belonged to Nanzhao State in the Tang Dynasty and Dali State in the Song Dynasty. The total number of ethnic minorities is only over 200,000, and more than 95% of them are Han nationality. The ancestors who first came to this land were a group of officers and men who followed Zhu Youlang, Emperor Li Yong of the Ming Dynasty and civilians persecuted by the Manchu government. They moved here more than 300 years ago and lived in the Kokang area for generations. /kloc-In the 8th century, a descendant of an immigrant from China became a local power in Kegan Mountain, and was later named the hereditary Kokang Tusi County. 1897 On February 4th, the Sino-British Treaty on Continued Discussions on Myanmar was signed. The Manchu regime ceded Kokang to British Burma, and the Kokang people became a minority in Myanmar from a part of the Han nationality, which also opened the history of poppy cultivation for a hundred years. 1959 After the abolition of the chieftain system, Myanmar courageously fell into long-term turmoil, and it did not stabilize until 1989, becoming the first special zone in Shan State today. Today, Kokang County is located in the northeast of Shan State, Myanmar, with an area of about 1 10,000 square kilometers and a population of about10.5 million. In recent years, the Kokang ethnic Chinese have been oppressed by the Burmese government, and Burmese troops have attacked the Kokang ethnic group from time to time.
