I love PhD, Dr. Hun Sen for saving my families from Pol Pot regime. I remember at 1979 in my village, Angka has dout to anyone in the village than order to bring my uncles, me to study (Study in pol pot time is kill). We run out the village at night and then we meet Vietnamese army they gave some foods and medicines to heal my wound and my eyes.

I can't believe that why does pol pot regime want to eliminate all Khmer people than bring Chinese to fill up Cambodia?

Without 7 January I and my family die already. I love you PhD, Dr. Hun Sen and 7 January.
