WA0521, Burma image. [A Lisu family?] (Researcher's notes in brackets). 'The Lisu may not marry Chinese wives but Chinamen often marry Lisu women and in this case the Chinamen generally transfer to a Lisu village and become Lisus. Their descendants will be Lisu not Chinese. These facts are the more extraordinary when we remember the power possessed by the Chinese of absorbing their neighbours. The children of mixed Sino-Burmese marriages are always Chinamen' [dissertation, 1934:262]
