He had needed to be an essayist and distributer and snatched the open door. The magazine was a win with the vast majority of the day's well known authors on board and with an article dispatch of instructing youngsters in self-change, wellbeing and good train in the battle for freedom and for building another assembled Burma. Standard sections, for example, Maha Swe's Nei Thu Yein's Fearless Doctrine and Theippan Maung Wa's Letter from Maung Than Gyaung pulled in an extensive readership.[1] The Kyipwayay turned into the vehicle for another style and substance in Burmese writing known as Hkit san (Testing the Age), a development began most remarkably by Theippan Maung Wa, Nwe Soe, Zawgyi, Min Thu Wun,Maung Thuta, Maung Htin and Mya Kaytu.

Both U Hla and Daw Amar ended up plainly required in the Resistance development; they shaped the Asha Lu Nge (Asia Youth) in Mandalay, apparently to work together with the Japanese, and drew in mostly in protect and sanitation operations, yet it turned into a prepared wellspring of youthful Resistance contenders for Bohmu Ba Htoo in Upper Burma.

Amid the time of post-war somberness, U Hla kept on distributing utilizing any sort of paper that he could get hold of including hued matchbox pressing paper and utilized office paper with imprinting on one side. He would likewise still figure out how to send his new books as endowments, around 200 on each event, to every one of his companions in Rangoon when correspondence lines and street and rail transportation had everything except separated. It was in 1945 that he propelled the fortnightly Ludu (The People) Journal with his better half as aide editorial manager. The next year saw the dispatch of the Ludu daily paper and therefore the couple came to be known as Ludu U Hla and Ludu Daw Amar.

One morning in 1948, not long after Burma picked up her freedom from the British, in any case, the Kyipwa Yay Press in Mandalay was dynamited to rubble by government troops who were irate that the Ludu couple gave off an impression of being thoughtful to the Communists.

Albeit just a passionate reformist, if left-inclining, and perceived thusly from the good 'ol days by his companions and partners, the blaming finger for being a Communist by progressive governments was never to abandon him, notwithstanding when numerous in the decision gathering of the day, including Ne Win, knew him by and by.
