The Hmong have often said: “Do not wish for a little but for a lot.” The Hmong used to fight with the Chinese and every time they lost. According to history the Hmong lost because they were smaller in number. Maybe because of this, the Hmong have always wished to have many relatives. When doing something, they can help each other. And when many people live together, it is important that they create something important as memorial.
