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.

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.
