Min Lu (1954- 2013) \u2013 famous writer and poet passed away on August 14, 2013, after only 3 days of the\u00a0\u00a0death of Maung Wuntha \u2013 writer and journalist.\u00a0<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
Min Lu, Burmese novelist, essayist, and critic, whose brilliant critical writings always made his readers smile and laugh. I had been his reader since I was a University student. His romantic novels achieved young readers\u2019 interest from generation to generation. I believed he always stood with people by seeing his writings. I heard that he never went abroad even he was invited to give speech in foreign countries. I was told that he lastly chose to go Thailand to cure his illness; lung cancer. When I heard the news of his illness, I felt deeply sorry not only for him but also for his family. I admired him as my favorite writer, and his decent life.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
I remember the poem \u2018Fame and Friendship\u2019, by Henry Austin Dobson, and want to honor him with deep sympathy.\u00a0<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
\u2018He had no stomach for fame that is a food that dead men eat.\u2019\u00a0<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
He valued \u2018Friendship\u2019 as\u00a0<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
\u2018But friendship is a noble thing,<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
Of friendship it is good to sing.\u2019<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
\u2018For truly, when a man shall end,<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
He lives in memory of his friend<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
Who does his better part recall<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n

And of his fault make funeral.\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
