He also wrote a novel Khrih Riantu (A Man Who Serves Christ) which is not published but filmed, and some short stories and one-act plays, and contributed over 600 articles and poems without royalty fees. Life Salai Siang Lian Uk Kianghrol (born Biak Hming Siang LianUk) was born on August 18, 1988 at Darteti village, about 27 miles from Falam town of Chin State, Myanmar. His father, Ro Pum Thang, is a headmaster of primary school and his mother, Za Kip Par, had only a few school education. His mother died when he was two and his grandmother from his father looked after him. He is the second child of his parents, and has two sisters and three brothers. He started his school education under his father's school at Hmawngkawn village, a remote village in the western part of Chin State, near the Mizoram State of India. After attending Kindergarten at Hmawngkawn village, his family transferred to Zahau Dihai village. He attended first standard at Zahau Dihai and, his family transferred to Darteti village, his birthplace. He finished his primary education at Darteti, and he joined the Basic Education Middle School, at Falam. After he had finished Middle School, his family transferred to Letpanchaung village of Kalay township, Sagaing Division, Myanmar. He passed matriculation at Letpanchaung village, from the sub High School of No.2 Basic Education of High School, Kalaymyo. After he had sit matriculation exam, his family transferred to Tahan-Kalaymyo, and he lives there until today. After he had passed matriculation, he cannot join university because of poverty. He worked as students guide at boarding schools and hostels for some time. In 2011, he went to Yangon and worked as the de facto editor of Thuthantu journal, a church based monthly journal. Later, he became managing editor and he handles it until today. From Yangon and Tahan-Kalaymyo he also worked as a freelance journalist for some Chin social media. Six years after he passed the matriculation, with the help of some close friends, in 2010, he joined university with English major and qualified for post-graduate degree. He is now attending post-graduate at Kalay University, Sagaing Division of Myanmar. Salai Siang Lian Uk Kianghrol also composed some songs and he is the composer of the proposed Chin national anthem: Ram ZalenChinram (Chinland, A Land of Freedom). He is also a singer at Klirlungz music band and literary club. He uses his nickname Salai Mhingte for his musical activities. Salai Siang Lian Uk Kianghrol's early life was filled with many difficulties. With the death of his mother, he suffered lack of vitamins and depression. Because of his father's illness which lasted about six years, the property of his family were gone when he attend the final year of Middle School.

From that time, he constantly wrote poems and articles for many magazines and journals of Chin language. He wrote for his people because of patriotism as there is usually no royalty fee for writers of Chin language. As Chin people in Myanmar are only about five lakh and, as there is no common language, the readers of Chin literature, who faces poverty the most in the undeveloped country, cannot support the writers and publishers. They write and publish books and writings only for they love their people, and want to develop them. In 2010, a group of friends called Klirlungz, in which Salai SiangLian Uk Kianghrol is involved from 2008, published Biazai Rianriam (A Study of Poetry).[ In 2012, Klirlungz released their second album DuhnakTiamthu (The Oath of Love) in which Salai Siang Lian Uk Kianghrol involved and sung three songs.

The fifth sonnet sequence, Eden Tahhla (Lamentation of Eden), also contains a sequence of 43 sonnets and it describes a lamentation of a broken-heart, and the sigh of an unlucky person. The crown sonnet illustrated the poet's dreams and love for his native Chinland. From 2012 he compiled a brief history of Chinese, Iranian, Greek, Italian, Arab, Hebrew and Latin literature.
