Beautiful Hmong/Miao people of !!China!!

When I looked at the Chinese Hmong and Southeast Hmong, I see that there is a different.. because most Chinese Hmong looked clean and pretty because China is our homeland and they do not migrate nor travel, not like Southeast Hmong, who travel constantly in search of new farm land, this is because, Souteast Asia is not Hmong homeland... Most Vietnam, Laos and Thai Hmong are quite poor and live under poverty, they also live among other ethnics property which do not give the Hmong the right to feel free.. I felt very sad, but I cannot do anything....

As Hmong, the term "Hmong" in Hmong actually mean "Lucky"... the name which we called ourselves is lost, and the term Miao and Meo is used by Chinese and Southeast Asia.... Hmong are actually agriculture people, who take no order, who lived peacefully.... because, it is how we Hmong people are born... values and morals is very sacred to Hmong.. especially showing kindness and respect to other....

here is the site i discovered this book.... I never knew there was book record about the Miao/Hmong people...interesting..

this book is a depiction of a minority people in Guizhou Province. In the Qing Dynasty, [1644-1911], quite a few such books appeared.They had various page numbers and different titles. Modern researchers generally refer to them as "One Hundred Miao Pictures" [Illustrated album of the Miao people in Guizhou].

Based on my preliminary investigation, this illustrated book might have been painted in the late Qing Dynasty. It depicts the lives, work, marriage, religion, clothing and customs of the Miao people at that time through paintings and poetry. The book contains rich material for research on Guizhou minority nationalities in the Qing Dynasty and provides important historical evidence of multiculturalism. Therefore, this book is valuable as an historical document. From what I know, there are over thirty copies of "One Hundred Miao Pictures" recorded in the world to date. They are all hand-painted, different from each other, and therefore each copy is seen as a unique copy. Of those thirty, more copies have illustrations accompanied by prose text rather than being accompanied by poetry..

LOLLLL!!! China has no right to send anything to south east asia. NEVER.

South East Asia is a region that is populated by people that are not Chinese, but by ethnic groups that are quite different and influenced by India as well as some minor influences of China (note that Buddhism came from Mother India, not China) The S.E.A region is populated by almost over 400 million people and of these make up the bulk of the population are Viets, Khmer, Thai-Lao, Burmese and Malays (ethnic group of Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Philippines). These hmong are a minute minority and for china to come to the region and affect and displace the people of our region for a minority is idiocy as well as suicidal in that it would unite all of ASEAN (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, Burma, Laos and Cambodia against a Chinese threat) and believe me that is the last thing you want considering the combined air forces of these states can wipe out the PLAAF.  And I'm sure if this happened..Taiwan would take this as an advantage in seeing China's 'weakness'.

So yes...China has no right to come into SOUTH EAST ASIA. The region is not chinese and will NEVER be Chinese. The Hmong that are in south east asia are being intermingled in Laos and in Vietnam. I know the ones here in Thailand are not even hmong anymore..they are more Thai than Hmong.

End of discussion on this 'sending military to help the hmong'. This is words of war to the ears of a SOUTH EAST ASIAN!

In China, most people care about the chinese in Indonesia.

I think sending troops  there is absurd  in some sense, because i had never heard that Hmong people there said they are chinese and we do not know the exactly what the current situation is  . It's not the duty for our government to make such risky and silly decisions to interfere others inner issue. We are always suffering such tolerance  by others like in the Tibeten and Taiwan issue.

As I know, many chinese engineers are in Laos helping them developing modern industry, I also heard that Laos girls are very kind and warm and especially good to chinese . I had nearly been persuaded to be been one of them several months ago by a company which take the Cable TV constructions in Valentene. 

how many ethnic Chinese present in the current Thai cabinet?

The main point of my statement is that China has no right to intercede in South East Asia; it would be a violation of the 4th geneval convention on national territoriality and jurisdiction as well as a breach of the trade and peace aggreement ASEAN has with China and to do so would be an act of war; one in which both sides dont want.

Understand, Hmongshaman??

KAHP KOON!

Believe me, it pains me to know that thousands of Hmong are forced to migrate to Thailand because of the hardships of life in Laos and Vietnam; as well hmongs are also given the right to go tot he United States. But nonetheless, as long as the Hmong groups are within the national boundaries of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand; then China has no right to interced and violate laws in an expedition to 'rescue them'; considering that many Hmong dont consider themselves as Chinese and many detest 'China'. I know this, because I have many Hmong friends in the states and in Thailand. You can only hope and pray that these people are treated equally; and continual trade and cultural treaties will incite this to happen faster.

Cheers!and good luck my friend..to your people!
