Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) fights for democracy and human rights, and she is against violence and human oppression. The efforts of Aung are considered one of the most most extraordinary examples of civil courage, which made her the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize of 1991. In her Nobel Lecture she decided to use a choice of words to inspire peace and calm, the most clear example is her use of the word “nyein-chan,” which translates to “the beneficial coolness that comes when a fire is extinguished”. Nowadays, Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar is 73 years old, and she is still fighting for the human rights in Asia.
