Although sources differ, Hsi Hseng is also considered to be the town where Pa'O musician Khun Thar Doon was murdered in 1978 by Pa'O communists.[4]

In January 2024, the town came under attack by a joint force of the Pa-O National Liberation Organization and the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force.[5]
