The Khmer rouge wanted to kill all of the innocent Cambodian people, but they couldn’t because they didn't have enough equipment. I was 9 years old and grandma told me that since you’re the youngest one, you can play a trick. She had let her three daughters escape from the prison already. She told me to pretend to cry. My mom went straight to the little Khmer Rouge guy and asked “Sir, can I take my daughter to go out and eat? I promise that I’ll come back.” That guy was really nice and said “Okay, make sure you come back, because if you don’t then I will die.” Then he released us. My family and I took off and never returned back. My mom found out that the Khmer Rouge guy was killed because of us.
