All the boys died after Birth except girls survived. They believed that evil spirit took life after birth.

So the parents twisted the spirits and gave Lisu girl’s name to their third son, Jay Zar Ah Cha (Mrs. Jay, the third girl in the family) in 1910. This worked out well and the boy grew and lived 100 years.

He established Alanga village in 1940. His name is honored at village Hall (Jay Zar Ah Cha Hall) till today.
