핵심 내용
A Childhood Shattered by Revolution
The streets of Phnom Penh once bustled with life-vendors setting up food carts, children playing soccer, and families going about their daily routines. This was the Cambodia five-year-old Loung Ung knew before April 17, 1975. That afternoon, as she played hopscotch outside her family's apartment, trucks rumbled into the city carrying men in black clothes with red scarves. These Khmer Rouge soldiers ordered everyone to evacuate immediately, claiming American bombs were coming. Within days, two million residents were forced from their homes, beginning one of history's most brutal genocides. The Ung family represented Cambodia's growing middle class-nine members living comfortably in Phnom Penh. Loung's father had left life as a Buddhist monk to work as a military policeman in the Royal Secret Service. Her Chinese-born mother maintained their spacious apartment where Loung lived with six siblings: studious Meng, girl-crazy Khouy, beautiful Keav, playful Kim, quiet Chou, and adorable three-year-old Geak. As the family fled the city, Pa quickly instructed them to claim they were peasants, knowing his government connections meant certain death. The journey transformed them overnight from privileged urbanites to desperate refugees. Seventeen people crammed under one thatched roof with dirt floors. "You must forget the city," Pa instructed Loung, "and never speak of our previous life." They learned to survive without basic necessities-using hay instead of toothbrushes and bathing without soap. Their Chinese heritage and middle-class background made them doubly targeted under the new regime. What does it mean when your very identity becomes dangerous? For the Ung family, survival meant erasing who they were and becoming invisible in a landscape of fear.
