in 1809 thadu was born in east of Burma in a little village called kuthaw. his parents were farmers and grew rice, corn and some plants for their family. that was their careers but it was tough work.they always did that and went to city and sold their crops to others every week. thadu's family was quite poor. he started to go to school when he was 7-year. his parents did not have enough money to pay the tuition for the school so he had to work and help his parents with the chores in the house, sometimes went to farm and worked with his parents. one day when he came from the school at noon he was headed into his house, he heard his mother was crying and some relatives in the house then he got into the house and saw his father was laying down beside his mother. at that time thadu knew that his father was passed away. thadu t was very sad to face the great tragedy happened to his family. 4-year after his fathead's death in 1824 he turned 17. he was a good looking guy and strong. at that time he quit school for 3-year and started work with his mom now. in 1826 Japanese troops invaded Burma ruled many places included his village. the troops were always ruled them, took stuff, food , and the things from village. everyday they killed people in village and raped the women as they wanted. they were headed to destroy the village. what to do " thadu said" to his mom. thadu was young adult and did not like to face the evil any more. at night in a quiet time he asked his mom to move to another village , they prepared for the moving and moved to another village. after their living in puye village a mouth they heard the kuthaw village was destroyed and burned with fire by Japanese troops. they knew that a few people could escape. the puye village leader informed that Japanese troops planed to come and destroy puye village and he said we must prepare for the war as we can. village leadrer announced that who is in age 18 and over must fight for the village except thadu. time was up the japanese troops arrived in the village and surround the village. soonly the war started at 8:00 am -1:00 pm. they did not had strong fighter like japanese troops and later they all had to retreat, and tried to flee away but the troops caught them all.in this picture you will see thadu was standing and raising his hands...guess what would happen next.
