Khup Lian inscription
The Khup Lian Inscription is a bi-lingual inscription located at the top of Lophei village in Chin State, Myanmar. It is located 5 miles from the well-known Fort White (named after Field Marshal Sir George White) which in turn is located at halfway between the 48-mile Tedim-Kalaymyo motor car road. The inscription is a brief autobiography of him, including his genealogy, the capture of a semi-automatic rifle in a hand-to-hand combat with a British soldier during the first British invasion of Chin Hills in the year of 1888-1889, his involvement in the Sizang-Gungal rebellion of 1892-94 and also about his hunting trophies. The inscription is written in both Burmese and English.
== History of Lophei ==
According to his own estimate Khup Lian was about 20 years old when he fought against the British in 1888-89. He died of old age on 3 December 1962 at Lophei. The village of Lophei was founded by his great, great, grandfather Chief Kim Lei, eleven generations before him. This village was completely destroyed by the Tashons in circa. 1800s. At that time, there were around 100 households in the village. When the British invaded Chin Hills in 1888-1889, Chief Khup Lian, who together with other fellow Sizang Chiefs, led some of the fiercest battles against British troops under the direct personal command of Major-General (later Field Marshal) George White (British Army officer), personally captured a semi-automatic rifle in a hand-to-hand-combat. It was the first semi-automatic gun ever to fall into the hands of the Chin people.
He then fought once again together with the following most well-known heroes of the Sizang-Gungal Rebellion of 1892-93, Chief Khup Pau of Khuasak and his sons Khai Kam and Mang Pum. After the rebellion of 1892, the Kim Lel's descendants or the Lopheis were disarmed and allowed to build a separate village so as to weaken the Thuantak by splitting them into two independent villages Khuasak and Lophei. So at this time Khup Lian‘s hereditary chieftainship was restored and he and the Lophei people were permitted to move back to their former village in 1894.〔
