Burma image, WA1266. Sara Sau Li [Zau Li] and family. (Researcher's notes in brackets)
Sara Sau Li was one of the first Kachin schoolmasters. He wrote many textbooks in Jinghpaw on geography and other key subjects in the primary education curriculum of the Baptist Mission schools.
*****"The Kutkai plateau is one of the most attractive places in Burma. Imagine an almost limitless expanse of undulating turf-land, with distant hills, bold in outline, strung along the horizon on all sides. That is the Kutkai plateau - treeless, grassy, undulating, perhaps a trifle monotonous, but truly beautiful, and richly green. The population is sparse. Palaung villages occur at long intervals, their fields making red patches on the grass land. The Palaungs breed ponies, although the plain is not free from surra; but a little farther on at 6000 feet Chinamen raise mules safely. At Kutkai I visited Sara Seng Li's school, where thirty little boys were attending. I was struck with their cleanliness. Most of them were Kachins and Atsis, but there were some Shans, and three delightfully grave little Chinese. I ordered them a football and was touched to receive in return an embroidered bag from Sara Seng Li's wife." ['A Burmese Arcady', Major C. M. Enriquez, London, 1923, pp.157-158]
