In China s Yunnan province, the Salween River is known as the Nujiang (怒江). It gives its name to the province s westernmost prefecture and derives from the name of the earliest inhabitants of the valley the Nu minority. In their own language
nu means dark .
So it s the dark people and the dark river. But the Chinese character used to represent
nu is the word for angry . It may be the wrong choice for designating the people, for they are a small, placid and easy-going ethnic group, much outnumbered by the Black Lisu, who make up the majority of the prefecture s population. But it seems quite appropriate to call the river angry , especially during the rainy months of spring and summer, when it roars through the 300 kilometer-long Nujiang canyon at seven meters per second, creating long stretches of class four and five waves.
