However, her mother’s declining health in 1988 compelled her to go back to Burma, where her father, Aung San, was still revered.

She becomes aware of the need for political reform in Burma and is soon sucked into the campaign. She subsequently adopted the position of an icon supporting the Burmese people’s right to self-determination and committed herself to advance political freedom.
