Summary
Not long after they took Keav away. Soldiers came and took fathers away from home including Loung's father. After Pa left, the family waits for him on the steps, but they slowly realize that he won;'t come back. It was hard for Ma accept, but she slowly accepts it and work harder because she was part Chinese. But Ma fears for the children safety because she hears that soldiers would come to houses andkilled the whole family. In order ton prevent Ma sents them and told them to lie about their idenitity. Loung does not want to leave her Ma and baby sister, Geak, but she has to leave with Kim and Chou.Kim then seperate froms Chou and Loung, and Loung and Chou goes to a different camp. Soon, Loung leave her sister to another camp that trains younger kids to fight. Now, I question when will Loung see her siblings again.
