The story traces Tha Chhays attempted escapes from the forced labor camps when he was a boy. After the Khmer Rouge fell from power, he traveled extensively around Cambodia as a boy merchant. After buying and selling goods in different markets across Cambodia, he saved enough gold to hire a guide to take him across the land-mine fields into a refugee camp in Thailand. He persevered in the refugee camp for six long years. In the camps small library, he saw a picture of Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin place the American flag on the moon. He knew that Cambodia wouldnt get their flag up there in a million years, and decided America was the best country to take him away from the political turmoil of his homeland. In the camp of 28,000 refugees, he was chosen to be sponsored to live in America. He was eventually sent to be settled in Seattle, Washington, where he still lives today. His quest to survive and make a living forced Tha Chhay to harness his inner talents and skills. This book is a window into a rich culture steeped in the history of the Far East, at a time of great upheaval and personal tragedies. Tha Chhays testament to the horrors of the Cambodian genocide offers perspective into current political turmoil around the world. He hopes countries never experience this type of genocide again.</p>...4301605Into the Shadows, I Ran205205https://www.gandhi.com.mx/into-the-shadows--i-ran-9798350934588/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4206996/image.jpg?v=638446501375070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239798350934588_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9798350934588_<p>"Into the Shadows, I Ran" begins with the Khmer Rouges forced evacuation of Cambodias cities immediately after the fall of Phnom Pen and Saigon in April of 1975.
