Thorn In The Heart
set up to kill the people and made the crisis anywhere in the
cities.
Nguyen knew he would be stick with the war in the future
and there was nothing more to choice as his father was. The
Second Indochina War between Nationalism and Communism
was spreading out on the South by the ambition of North
Vietnam. They claimed of many thousands of civilians and the
fighting soldiers on both sides.
After the battle Binh-Gia and the first president, Diem died
by the coup of group General; General Duong-Van-Minh was a
leader. The war was as a spot of oil spreading over the paper in
South Vietnam and had no chance to end with bloody of the
people. Both side governments of North and South Vietnam
were falling deep into the foreign interfere policies hole to make
the bloodbath for brother and devastated country...!
At the time Nguyen shared a room of Mr. Chuong’s family
in Bui-Phat resettlement, where closed Truong-Minh-Giang
market and a side of Truong-Minh-Giang street in Saigon
Capital. He shared a room as a temporary place to live and going
to Faculty University Saigon every day.
Sometime Nguyen was in his narrow room of the first floor,
opened the Vietnam history book to learn, but he did not read
any word. He left a book on the table, walked toward the
window, looked at the Skyraider warplanes making a cycle in
the sky and slides down to landing on the Tan-Son-Nhat Air
Force base.
Most the time Nguyen was quiet to think of the dirty war
that destroyed his village and killed a lot of people when he was
a nine-year-old boy in 1950. It was renting his heart with the
painful images of French militarist that beat his Grandparents on
the field, tortured then killed the farmers in the Church, and shot
his uncle on the paddy.
