Theippan Maung Wa (Burmese: သိပ္ပံမောင်ဝ [θḛɪʔpàɰ̃ màʊɰ̃ wa̰]; 5 June 1899 – 6 June 1942) was a Burmese writer, and one of the pioneers of the Hkit San literary movement. The movement searched for a new style and content in Burmese literature before the Second World War starting with Hkit san ponbyin (Experimental Tales, 1934, 1938).[1]
