Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Long Journey unfolds three decades of the difficult life of a father and son in Laos and Thailand. The first wave (1950s-1960s) was village life in Laos still under the French shadow, where the father worked as a coolie on colonial French roads, heavy work beyond what human energy could sustain. The second wave was the conflict with the nearby Communist Pathet Lao (1960s-1970s). Living under their rules meant critical decisions had to be made to avoid punishment under their unpredictable political system. Touayim, the little boy without shoes, seeking safe places, not only walked to escape from the Pathet Lao, but also the US airplanes bombing the dangerous war zones. Their final wave was life under the new regime and escape to refugee camps in Thailand (1975-1980s). After Laos fell, the Communist Pathet Lao government was installed, and targeted the Hmong for imprisonment and persecution because of their affiliation with the Americans during the war. Those Hmong who could not melt into the new system feared persecution, became rebels and were hunted down in their mountain hideouts. Touayim witnessed the Pathet Lao army genocide that took place. He has accurately detailed 20 years of resistance that caused thousands of Hmong in northeastern Laos to die from starvation, diseases, and gun battles. The refugee exodus into crowded camps in Thailand created unimaginable living conditions. Sanitation and the dusty air people breathed from the winds and vehicles on the dusty roads caused serious health problems and the death of children. Human waste odors from the toilets near the crowded buildings was unbelievably strong, day and night, when walking, sleeping, or eating meals. A refugee who has experienced such a camp can tell this story better than anyone who has only heard about it.

Download or read book Hmong Means Free written by Sucheng Chan and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of evocative personal testimonies by three generations of Hmong refugees is the first to describe their lives in Laos as slash-and-burn farmers, as refugees after a Communist government came to power in 1975, and as immigrants in the United States. Reflecting on the homes left behind, their narratives chronicle the difficulties of forging a new identity. From Jou Yee Xiong's Life Story: "I stopped teaching my sons many of the Hmong ways because I felt my ancestors and I had suffered enough already. I thought that teaching my children the old ways would only place a burden on them." From Ka Pao Xiong's (Jou Yee Xiong's son) Life Story: "It has been very difficult for us to adapt because we had no professions or trades and we suffered from culture shock. Here in America, both the husband and wife must work simultaneously to earn enough money to live on. Many of our children are ignorant of the Hmong way of life.... Even the old people are forgetting about their life in Laos, as they enjoy the prosperity and good life in America." From Xang Mao Xiong's Life Story: "When the Communists took over Laos and General Vang Pao fled with his family, we, too, decided to leave. Not only my family, but thousands of Hmong tried to flee. I rented a car for thirty thousand Laotian dollars, and it took us to Nasu.... We felt compelled to leave because many of us had been connected to the CIA.... Thousands of Hmong were traveling on foot. Along the way, many of them were shot and killed by Communist soldiers. We witnessed a bloody massacre of civilians." From Vue Vang's Life Story: "Life was so hard in the [Thai refugee] camp that when we found out we could go to the United States, we did not hesitate to grasp the chance. We knew that were we to remain in the camp, there would be no hope for a better future. We would not be able to offer our children anything better than a life of perpetual poverty and anguish."
