           "Gara amyu rai timung laili laika nlu yang, myi hten ai wa hte maren, nhtoi nmu nga ai. Shanhpyi laika shamat kau ai da, Karai Kasang matsan dum ai majaw ndai aprat e, Jinghpaw masha ni mung maisau laika lu la masai.

Dai re majaw, Jinghpaw masha ni hpe, laika nlu ai baw amyu ngu nna, ndai prat e nmai tsun ai." nga ai (Ja Jubili laika p-11).

Jinghpaw hpu nau ni a htingbu htingpyen ni ngu ai, Myen, Sam, Miwa amyu sha ni, laika lu timung Jinghpaw ni hpe laika sharin ya na n myit ma ai. Bum ga masha ni, zai ai amyu ni, damya amyu ni, hpya lu hpya sha ai amyu nawn ai majaw, shanhte hpe hkrit nna shanhte hte kanawn na n myit nga ma ai. Anhte Jinghpaw Wunpawng amyu ni nan mung gara kaw na pra wa ai, yu hkrat wa ai, anhte ginru ginsa la ni hpe hpaji n chye ai majaw atsawm matsing sumhting da ai lam n mu lu ai. Jinghpaw Jubeli Laika ( March 25-28, 1927)., American Htang Dip Gawng, 1928 p. 9
           Bai nna sara kaba Ola Hason 1913 ning hta Jinghpaw amyu masha ni hpe maram masam ai lam hta Jinghpaw amyu masha ni gaw si wa mahka na masha hte htum wa magang ai amyu zawn tinang a kaji kawa ni hpe nachye n chyang ai hku rawt kaba wa ai ni re. Sara Kaba Hanson ka ai “The Kachins: Their Custom and Traditions laika man 213 hta “ We may regret that an old civilazation admirably adapted for the peaceful life of a naturally happy and non-aggressive people is passing away…. a dying race like a dying man, a Kachin people is growing up in ways unknown to their forefathers” nga nna maram masam da ai hpe mu lu ai. Tsun mayu ai lam gaw “Shakawn shagrau ging ai, ngwi pyaw sim sa ai lam chyu ra sharawng ai, manang wa a n tsa shadut jahkat, kashun kashe mung n re ai amyu sha ni a htunghking ningli ni mat mat wa magang ai gaw gade lahpawt lama shara re hka!”
            Dai ni Ola Hanson galaw ya ai Jinghpaw Laika hpe atsawm sha chye ai mungkan ting hta rai yang marai ( 100) pyi n nga sana re. Jatawng Naw Hkayawng ningchyin chye chyin ai ramma ni hta mungkan ting tam yang marai (10) pyi n du na sai. Anhte a labau htinghking hpe n chye ai sha, dai ni galu kaba wa sai. Ji wa ni hkinghtawng, ji wa ni a labau hpe gadai wa shachyaw na rai ta? Kadai wa lit la mazing na rai ta? Prat hpe shachyut nna mungkan kaw na hkoi mat ai, mat mat ai amyu (vanishing tribe) kaw lawm mat sana kun?
Jinghpaw Wunpawng amyu masha ni gaw tinang a labau hpe ndum shami shamat kau ai baw sat lawat nga ai lam hpe mung Sara Kaba Hanson gaw matut nna tsun nga ai. Missionary Pioneers Among the Kachin nga ai laika hta shi tsun ai gaw: “ The first generation of Kachin Christian have passed away, and the early history of the mission will soon be forgotten” De a lachyum gaw shawng na ban prat na Jinghpaw Hkristan ni wai magang wa magang sai, shawng na sa sana labau ni mung nau nna yang malap magang shamat magang sa na re, nga ai. (Ola Hanson, Missionary Pioneers Among the Kachins., 1929. P.1)
               Sara kaba Ola Hanson mung Jinghpaw Wunpawng amyu sha ni hpe ngang kang ai amyu tai wa matu matut nna ninggam sharawt let gaw gap sa wa na hpe lajin nga ai. Missionary Pioneers Among the Kachins laika man 14 hta “Kachin work is now well organized, the foundation has been laid and the superstructure will be raised by younger man who will enter this promising field. There is a rich harvest before us, it will be the joyous privilege of some to reap where others have shown.” Tsun mayu ai gaw anhte Jinghpaw Wunpawng sha ni a matu npawt nhpang bungli rai nga ai: Jinghpaw Dictionary, Jinghpaw Chyum Laika, Jinghpaw Handbook hte Grammar, Jinghpaw Labau the Htunghking laika ni hte laika sharin jawng law law hpe gaw da ya sai.
