share with us some of the stories you heard that is real and/or personal accounts you had experienced which merits a historical mark in a manner that years from now it is still remarkable.
i heard of this one from my best friend who we went to college together. it is about how he, his siblings, parents and relatives escaped from laos to thai land. this neej neeg is quite touching, especially to me. here it goes.
he was about 8 years, old enough to gather food from the wild for his parents and young siblings but too young to carry a gun in combat. they were in a group of close relatives. there were about 50 members in the group. they went through in thick-dense mountains and rough terrains to get to their desired destination. on the way, they ran into some difficult mishaps, especially one major which separated and killed many members in the group. his family and his two uncles' family were fortunately congregated at the side of the mountain after the major mishap and gunfire with the red vietcongs. after a day and night on the run, the vietcong were still after them. they came upon a river bank near a forest-dense plateau, and the vietcong were just a few feet away. one of the uncle's 2 years son was crying. his covered his son's mouth, but the sound was still loud enough to trigger their whereabout. it was too late to opium him, so the uncle grasp his 2 years son by the leg and smashed him to the rock on the ground near the river. he killed his son by stumping the head to the shallow river with his feet. while this ordeal was taking place, the vietcongs walked pass them a few yards away. the next few days and night they reached the mekong river.
the much sad mishap and dear unfortunate at the mekong river is another "must hear" neej neeg. some bitter tears came down upon my face from my eyes when he told me this neej neeg while we were fishing at a local river. i just cannot understand how/why humanity is so cruel, evil and selfish. just recently, i discoverd and learned that those vietcongs who killed our brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers, in-laws and friends in laos in the hill mountains and/or river banks ARE ACTUALLY HMONGS!
