Communist propaganda promised bring harmony , prosperity to everyone, liberation to our nation... In the reality was different.Communist regime executed thousands of southerners.Sent hundred thousand more to reeducation camps(brain wash). Sent student to sweeping the streets. Sent young people to the farm field , to learn farming.

Later on the bitterness and despair , resentment against the disorganized government. Million people, including my parents, relatives, friends,our classmates, fled the country in risky boat. These boat people"endured horrific voyages, suffer robing by pirates, tortured, raped, and killed. The lucky one land on refugee camps , United States,or every corner of the world.
