Chinh Nguyên

Air Force officer to defense for South Vietnam. He knew it was
the painful suffering for Vietnamese people, who were born in a
small country and used as a slave by the alien's cruel rules.
China Empire dominated Vietnam a thousand years, and French
colonials had ruled Vietnam a hundred years because of the
profits of natural resources and their leader politicians dirty
ambition. Together, Vietnamese people never gave up their hope
to seek independence. They had been bonding so strongly to
stand up in the hardship living off the war, stretched their hope
arms toward any corner on the nation to fight for freedom. They
were continuing to fight, struggled in the bloodbath of war with
the tearful lives, sacrificed their whole life for the next
generation's happiness and seek independent for the country. But
after all, the genesis of separating was continuing in the
Vietnamese bloodbath. The war had a chance to break up
between brothers in North and South by the different ideas. Also
by the tendency of the Vietnamese politicians, who moved
toward a communism or capitalism power centers and not
nationalism. It cost a lot young person lives and made the
painful for the country.

The most people in the village had white turbans on their
heads to be mourning for their relatives after the village
battlefield. They cried and looked for their relatives in the
chunks of bricks and wood heaps. They collected the parts of the
bodies that lay around the bombs' holes, picked the dead
wounded on the side roads and pulled the burnt bodies out of the
collapsing house. The survives rolled their dead relatives in the
mats and carried the victims toward the village cemetery to bury
them without a coffin. The village cemetery became the place of
painful, sobbing cry and noisy.

Viet-Minh had withdrawn their troops out of the village
after set up the spy agents to control the villagers at night time.
French troops took the young persons of Thanh-Lap, Van,
Cham, Bai-Vang, Hoang-Nguyen and Do villages into custody.
