Journalist Mamalay - I hate it.

"I hate you, don't you?"

The original Burmese novel "Mone Ma Hu" by Teacher Jana Kyaw Ma was published in the May 1955 issue of Shumawa Magazine, Volume (8), No. (96), and then published for the first time by Shumawa Publishing House.

The background is the British colonial era, and it vividly depicts the cultural contradiction between a husband who greatly admires Kabyle culture and thinks like a Kabyle, and a wife who comes from a family that follows Burmese culture. The heartbreaking story of a character who finds herself in a life of misery due to this dissimilar marriage structure and “excessive love” is very well-written with the rose in the middle of the Paung Chaung Club depicted on the cover of the book. It makes us see and feel the negative reaction of cultural conflict and what can be called ultra love. Once, a university student from Kyaiklatt, who was studying English Literature and Burmese Literature, said to her teacher, “I have read the book ‘Mone Do Ma Hu’ forty times. "I will continue to read it in the future." It is based on a deep understanding of race, religion, culture, and character.

The novel "Mone. Mahu" will undoubtedly bring a clear vision and a sharp feeling to the reader's mind and heart. "Mone. Mahu" has been printed and published nine times by various Myanmar literary publishers since 1955. The following are the translations of the novel "Mone. Mahu" into foreign languages.
