Description: Translation (Gun Mai) A long time ago, there were no people live in this Myitkyina and it was a place that cultivated a paddy field by a man called Machye Wa. He came from the mountain area to the upstream area and cultivated in a hillside field but he never enough to eat so he came through to this plain land and he got a lot of rice. Since he had a lot of rice, people from mountain areas and cultivated in the hillside field who had insufficient to eat rice, used to go and ask for the rice from the Machye Wa. It was not only 1 or 2 times and it had been for several years. A person asked, "Hey, where do you go?" "It is to go the paddy field of Machye Wa," replied the other person. The person asked again that "Why do you go?" "Because I don't have rice to eat and it is to ask rice" answered the other person. When another person passed, "where do you go?" "It is to go the Machye Wa's paddy field to ask the rice. Because I heard that Machye Wa has a lot of rice, I go to ask the rice." The Machye Wa was passed away. After the Machye Wa passed away, no one cultivated anymore in the paddy field. May be there was no one to continue his paddy field. Later, people remembered about the Machye Wa. They said that "When the Machye Wa cultivated the paddy field, we can get a lot of rice to eat. If we continue to live in these mountain areas, we don't have enough rice to eat. Let's go there." And, when they went, they found that the plain lands are very large and beautiful, which is also close to a big river. So, they decided to establish a village and also cultivated paddy cultivation. Since there were many lands to cultivate paddy fields, many other people also came and cultivated paddy fields. So, it became a village. It became a village and now is big. Even in my grandfather's time, there were full of bushes when he went to school. When my uncle Gun Jawng went to school, they dropped their bed under the tree and slept. There were only a few households even at that time. Very far each other - over there and over there. And so, as they thought that it was a bit long to say 'To Machye Na Hkauna (Machye Wa's paddy field), they just easily said 'To Machye Na' 'To Machye Na' Because 'Go to Machye Wa's paddy field' was a bit long, they used to say 'Go to Machye Na'. But, later, because Machye Wa was also passed away and no one told the story anymore, gradually everybody forgot. People discussed that "We established the village, how should we name the village?" "Since we are next to the big river, let call 'Next to Big River' said the other one. Later, the other races also came and lived. If it was 'Next to the Big River', it would be called 'Myitkyina' in Burmese. So, they named it 'Myitkyina' and it becomes 'Myitkyina' now.
