'I went down on the street and started to demonstrate but I had nothing, so I went to a store and bought equipment to make a poster. When I started to write on my poster, some people asked me to make some for them to protest. From that day, I drew about 100 posters per day. This is my weapon against the dictatorship' - Chuu Wai Nyein.
