Hiangmun Memorial Cup

During 18 December 1968 to January 1972, the village was grouped to Mimbung village. Since then, the villagers organised a football tournament in memory of re-construction of the Hiangmun village between Christmas and New year. After the ended of the grouping in 1972, the camped villagers went back to their village and constructed a new Hiangmun within the old village. The younger and the older villagers yearned for their olden days. The poem "Mimbang Pianna Hiangtui Vangkhua" was recited by some young villagers. This poem is the theme song of the memorial cup:

Mimbang pianna Hiangtui

Vangkhua sai bang satna,

Koi kuam albang mang ta a hiam?

Sing gam tuang tung ta hiam?

Vangkhua donleng lei lengthe khuang,

Zolawkta tong kidawng diai diai e.

Zing taikua hong vak ciang,

Sianmang sun ni hong suak;

Vangkhua don leng eng silsial e,

Lungzuan cih teng hong phong,

Mimbang pianna vang khua nuamah

Tun leh zua toh kim a i lenna.

Agam tumin dang e,heina tumin dang ciat,

Khua mun nuam mubang ngailo te,

Lailung zuan mel theilo

Ei aw e,vang khua ngai ve hang!!!

Kholhpih lia leh taang toh zai awihna.

Lailung in gel dih un, sin laiah hong zen lua,

Ei lo zong zang gamah luun ta'n

Vangkhua ngaih siam bang sin;

Mimbang pianna a ngilo te,

Sinlai va bang a mol lai ngei mo!!

Ei sinthu hi lo lawm,vaimang nu sinthu hi;

Khua tuang nusiat zaw ngil kei ni,

I heina peuh ah maw,

Selung zuan tawh nuihciam leel le'ng,

Sianmang'in gual hong zawl ding.^[5]
