Darr Sann Ye (Burmese: ဓားစန်းရီ; lit.'Knife Sann Yee'; born Sann Ye; 1933) is a Burmese woman who captured Major Zin Bo (also known as Kim Jin-su), a North Korean military officer who was involved in the Rangoon bombing of 9 October 1983, which was an assassination attempt on South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan.[1][2][3][4][5]

Life

Darr Sann Ye was born in 1933 in Phaungdawthi village, Daik-U, Bago Division, Burma. Growing up during the colonial era, she was not educated. At the age of 14, she married Nyo Gyi, a train conductor, and divorced after having two daughters. She and her eldest daughter Thein Myint moved to Rangoon. She had to sell smuggle movie tickets in Rangoon. She ran a tavern and liquor shop near Pazundaung Creek and often carried a knife in her back pocket for protection. She had a son with her second husband Soe Tint. Three years before her husband's death, Sann Ye went to Taunggyi, Shan State in 2000, where her eldest daughter lived. She was a nun for 16 years.[6][7]

On 10 October 1983, at 9:00 PM, she saw a stranger man diving in the Nyaungtan harbor. She suspects the man was Zin Bo who involved in the Rangoon bombing on 9 October. She immediately jumped into the Pazundaung Creek and captured Zin Bo. She and four men, including Bo Gyi and Shwe Min Thar, shot to fame overnight for their heroic actions. She was honored by the Burmese government for her hard work.[6] As she got older, she became homeless and begging on the Hledan flyover.[8][9][10]

She is the subject of a documentary film by Ma Nyein Nyein Aung which depicts her life and the capture of Zin Bo.[1][11] Following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, she participated in the anti-coup movements.[12]
