Author Dai Nguyen's Newly Released "I Touched Freedom" Is a Breath-Taking Description of One Vietnamese Family and Their Daring Escape From Communist Ruled Vietnam.
"I Touched Freedom" from Christian Faith Publishing author Dai Nguyen is the harrowing tale of life in Vietnam from the 1950's and into the war, and how one courageous family managed to escape.
New York, NY, June 14, 2016 (Newswire.com) - “I Touched Freedom”: a gripping and potent true story of surviving tyranny in guerrilla war torn Vietnam and the powerful desire to be free. “I Touched Freedom” is the creation of published author, Dai Nguyen, retired from Information Technology and native of Vietnam.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dai Nguyen’s new book shares the life of eight-year-old Hai. Hai is growing up in the war torn country of Vietnam in the 1950’s, and witnesses a devastating blow to his family when Communist agents kidnap his older brother. Almost all of the Communist abduction victims vanish forever or their beheaded corpses are dumped at the edge of the thick woods in his poor little village. This incident creates a crease in Hai’s mind about the Communists’ grievous treatment of the innocent Vietnamese people.
With the full support of the Communist bloc, the guerrilla war initiated by the Communist North Vietnam escalated to a full-scale conventional engagement and ultimately the South Vietnamese government collapses in 1975.
The new totalitarian regime revokes all of the people’s basic freedoms and creates havoc for the country’s economy by establishing highly inefficient agriculture cooperatives and a moribund command economy policy. The oppression of freedom, collapse of the economy, the confiscation of people’s properties and forcing them to the new economic zone pushes people to flee the country by any means imaginable.
Recalling painful memories from his own childhood and seeing nothing but a dark future for his children, Hai decides to flee the country. Inflicted with poverty and the strict control of the government’s brutal security apparatus, Dai and his friends work tirelessly in this precarious situation to escape Communist Vietnam. Their plan is dangerous, bold, and risky, but they successfully flee the country in 1981 by boat through the heavily guarded river mouth of Rach Gia province in the South of Vietnam.
Immigrating to the USA, the family works very hard to assimilate themselves in this wonderful country and they are now living a comfortable life in North Carolina.
