One Myanmar resident named Kong Enkong said that they dare not go back to their hometown for fear of the forced recruitment.

Kong and other Myanmar residents all felt grateful to Li's family. "Although some of us are distant relatives of Li, the others are complete strangers to her," said Kong. "We are happy to have a shelter here and far from the battle fire," he added.

A total of 10 persons have been killed and 33 others injured in armed clashes which broke out between the government forces and a combined forces of three ethnic armed groups in Myanmar's Northern Shan state in the weekend.

Thousands of Muse residents have crossed the border to China for safety and have been accommodated in camps.

Chinese Ambassador Hong Liang on Tuesday urged all parties to exercise restraint and to immediately end the armed conflicts near the China-Myanmar border, according to a Xinhua report.
