Bo People (China)
The Bo people (Chinese: 僰人; pinyin: Bó rén) are a small minority population in Southern China, famous for their hanging coffins.
The Bo people dominated their area for some four centuries, but were massacred by the Ming army and were thought to be extinct. However, some descendants of the Bo were found in 2005 in Xingwen County, Sichuan.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
