1933

U Tin Moe (1933-2007) was a Burmese poet.

Tin Moe (Maung Ba Gyan) was born in the village of Kanmyè in Taungtha Township, Myingyan, Mandalay Division.

He received his early education at a Buddhist monastery, and attended school at the town of Yezagyo.

His reputation preceded him when he went on to study at the University of Mandalay at the request of faculty members who had been impressed by an essay he wrote for the matriculation exam.
