Maung Ne Win, Min Kyaw, Nat Nwe - Triangle

Lower realm

There are no flat sandy beaches on the banks of the Hlaing River. There are only high, steep cliffs where the wild water is pounding. The water is wild. The waves and winds are strong.

The rain that had fallen from the mountains was turning the entire area dark and gloomy. At that time, the monsoon wind was blowing fiercely. The Hlaing River was moving so much that it was impossible to stand still. The river was full of waves, and the reed forests, bamboo forests, and large bamboo trees on either side of the bank were swaying.

At times like these, my mother would always sing me a song or a part of it and soothe me.

“ Moe Min...extreme...amazing. The village is beautiful...the trees are all green...the cars are racing through the office ranks...so charming”

My mother sings the song "The Rain Is Made Up." My mother has sung it so well that I have memorized this song.

I think my mother's singing voice is clear and cool. Her voice is high and soft. It's like a spring breeze. When my mother sings, I feel happy, but I don't know why, I feel sad. Sometimes my mother sings "Sein Chel Para Rang Lin". "Sein Chel Para Rang Lin" has a more gentle and gentle voice. That's why I feel sadder. I don't know why.

I was six years old at the time. My mother's name was "Ma Su". My mother, Ma Su, and "Ko Kyaing", whom I called "Baba", were the only children, and I was the only one.

My mother and I are in Kukkosha Kalay on the island of Bawle. My mother is from Kukkosha, and my father is from Thni-Michaungye village, between Twantewa and Maupin. My mother and I are in Kukkosha now, but my father is not in Kukkosha. We are in the direction of Moe Makha.

The village of Kukko Wa is located on the banks of the vast Hlaing River. As small as the village is, I think the Hlaing River is vast. As small as the village of Kukko is, I also understand that the Hlaing River is very rough. The Hlaing River erodes the banks of Kukko Sha. It also hits me with its fierce waves. When the Waso Wah River rises, it buries it under the water. Not only Sha, but also the green fields to the west of the village are constantly flooded with water. Therefore, living in Kukko Wa is like the apple of my eye for me.

The raindrops are falling. The vast, beautiful Hlaing River is surrounded by a wall of rain. But you can still hear the sound of the waves. You can also hear the sound of the waves. With the sound of the rain, the sound of the waves, and the sound of the waves, it seems like the whole world around you is being destroyed.

Mother stopped singing, lowered her open-mouthed teapot, and looked toward the Hlaing River, which was covered in a thick raincoat. In reality, Mother's gaze was trying to pierce the raincoat and look up at Moe Ma Kha from above the water of the Hlaing River. In fact, Moe Ma Kha was not visible.

The Moe Makha is located on the other side of the Hlaing River, very far from Mae Zali village, where the water and the lake are separated.

“ At this time in Moe Makha, the waves and winds are going to be very strong. God.. God, may the little man’s father be safe, may he be free from the snake danger.”

" What is a raindrop, Mom?"

“ Yes, son, yes, the real point is yes, when it rains like this, the rain is like a vast ocean where you can’t see one side from the other, man.”

" The water is high, isn't it?"

“ Yes, my dear, the water is very deep, and there are large rocks floating in that lake. The bigger the rocks, the more dangerous they are, my dear. As soon as the rain comes down, the waves and winds become strong. There are fishermen who die because of the large rocks. There are also people who die because of the snakes that bite them. The fishermen in Moe Makha are very poor, tired, and in great danger, my dear. That’s why my mother is worried about you, my dear.”

" What are you doing, Dad?"

My mother was rubbing my forehead with her palm. Her palm was rough. The split skin was pricking my forehead. I had been used to the feel of her rough palm, which had been used to hold sickles, pickaxes, and scissors, so much that I no longer felt it was strange.

"I'm going to work, man."

My mother answered, stroking my forehead.

" What are you doing in that meadow, Mom?"

"Well, I have to work, I have to catch fish."

"Don't you work in the fields?" Mom sighed.

I know why Mom is sighing.

It's certainly not a sigh of relief because he's impatient to be asked a lot of questions. I understand that it's probably just because he's reluctant to explain why he can't work.

" I'm not working right now, my dear. My father told me that I'll work for a while in the rain, but later I'll go back to working in the fields."

" So when will Dad come back?"

"Well, I'll be back when it's time to finish work, man."

The rain was pouring down. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Not only the sky but also the entire surroundings were dark. The whole world was crying with raindrops and raindrops, as if it were being entangled in an unstoppable sorrow.

But the mother had lowered the humble canopy completely and closed it. So it was dark inside the tent. The raindrops were falling heavily on the thatched roof. The wind was shaking the entire tent, making it shake.

The novels included in the trilogy are novels that the authors Maung Ne Win, Min Kyaw, and Nat Nwe personally selected. Nat Nwe's novel was written in 1954, while Min Kyaw and Maung Ne Win's novels were written in 1968. We read many novels. Many novels are also emerging. What kind of novels are emerging and what kind of novels are being read? This is a question that book lovers should ask themselves. What is the purpose of the novelist's writing? What does he want to give to the reader?
