The Mien & Hmong people live the same back before the Vietnam War & even after the war.Chinese Gov' labeled the Mien as "Yao's" & the Hmong as "Miao",both words meaning barbarian's.Both of the race were originally had their own land by China,but were taken from China.That's the only reason why Mien & Hmong are all spread out.The Chinese Gov' wanted to erase the Mien & Hmong people's history.But yet both race are still standing to this day.Bless our Mien & Hmong people.We are not different.
