摘要:1] Nhiavu Lobliayao died on June 16, 1999, in Nong Het, Xieng Khouang, Laos. He had been ill off and on since October 1998, and was reportedly paralyzed before his death. [2] Nhiavu was a prominent member of the Lao Revolutionary Party and a key player during the war years (from the late 1940's to the 1970's). In the 1980's, Nhiavue Lobliayao was an alternate Politburo member of the Lao People1s Revolutionary Party (a.k.a. : Phak Pasason Lao, or Lao Communist Party). He ranked 21st in the Central Committee of the party; he probably held that rank since 1970's when the party was still operated secretly behind the Neo Lao Hak Sat (Lao Patriotic Front). In the 1980's, he was also named head of the Office of Nationalities. During the war years, he was reputed to be much closer to the core of the decision-making body of the Lao Revolutionary Party than his half-brother, Faydang Lo Bliayao. Faydang, who was not even a member of the party, was a figurehead for the Hmong on the side of the Pathet Lao
