ᅠSao Nang Hearn Kham, the Mahadevi (Princess) Yawnghwe was a very important figure in Shan history and the history of Burma. She was a member of the Burmese parliament, the wife of the first president and later, the leader of a rebel army.
ᅠShe was born on May 27, 1916 in North Hsenwi, in northern Shan State. Her father was one of 33 independent rulers of mountainous Shan State. The young Hsenwi princess attended schools in Maymyo and Kalaw. She loved her studies and wanted to be a “modern girl”. She didn’t want a traditional, arranged marriage. But in 1937, at age 22, her family arranged for her to marry Sao Shwe Thaike, the powerful ruler of Yawnghwe in southern Shan State. For the first few years of marriage, the Mahadevi settled into the traditional life of a Shan ruling family. Gradually, the lonely princess involved herself in state affairs. She encouraged Shan people to unite.
ᅠDuring World War II, Japanese soldiers moved into the palace at Yanghwe. The family lived on the second floor of the palace, and the Japanese officers lived on the ground floor. Sao was afraid of the Japanese soldiers. However, the family survived three years of Japanese occupation without major problems.
ᅠThe British returned in 1945, but without a plan for Shan State. In February 1947, Shan leaders gathered at Panglong, where they agreed to join an independent Union of Burma. After independence from the British, Sao Shwe Thaike was chosen as president. In 1948 the family moved to Rangoon. There Sao Yawnghwe served as the First Lady. Later she became a member of parliament for her birthplace, Hsenwi.
ᅠWhen the military took power on March 2, 1962, Sao Shwe Thaike was a major target. The Burma Army surrounded the family’s Rangoon home and killed Sao’s third-eldest son, Sao Myee. The president was arrested and sent to jail, where he died on November 21. One year later Sao gathered her children and fled to Thailand.
ᅠSao set up a house in Chiang Mai, and her younger children attended school there. The exiled princess worked with her second son, Chao Tzang, to form a rebel army, the Shan State Army (SSA). In 1969 she left to join her eldest son in Canada. She died in 2003, at the age of 86.
