The author was born in 1940 and spent his childhood in two small
villages, the paternal and the maternal, in southern Vietnam: Binh
Chuan and Tuy An (An Phu). The villages were deeply affected by the
powerful political events of the next fifty years. In this memoir
(first sentence: ""I was born as the Japanese Troops were invading
northern Vietnam""), the author writes of what he saw, heard and
knew, providing an invaluable social history of the country.Readers
will learn about people who have endured separation, dictatorship,
carnage, persistent suffering and poverty, all the while yearning
for independence and prosperity. Included are many stories - some
funny, some heartbreaking - that reveal how the Vietnamese people
lived, as well as their thoughts on war, on the French, Japanese
and Americans, on the Nationalist and Communist governments, and on
escape. The result is a heartfelt ""social painting"" of the
nation.
