The Khmer Rouge Communist Party of Cambodia purged the cities and countryside of intellectuals, rival politicians, monks and teachers. The extremeness of this group leads to a country that has no religion, no free market, no schools, no families, and a closed border. Citizens attempt to hide their old lives from ears outside the walls while food becomes dangerously scarce in the so called Agrarian Utopia. The new party in charge invents ways of making families disappear.
It describes the events of each conflict as they unfold, where each time he somehow manages to survive the ordeal to tell the story. After the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1979, he found a way to provide for his family’s needs. Vanny and his family realized they would be better off leaving the land they called home for so many years. He led his family and friends to the refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines.
After that, Vanny and his family were transported to America to start a new life. Upon arriving in America he managed to work hard at his job while attending school.

To more accurately tell his story Mr. Vorng intensely studied Cambodian History and politics so that he might better understand motivations behind the rulers’ actions. A learned man, he is fluent in English, French, and Cambodian, his native tongue.

He later went on to gain experience as an entrepreneur and a business owner in diverse markets such as wholesale/retail, and the food service industry.
