內容簡介
First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, written by human rights activist Loung Ung, is a harrowing and deeply moving memoir documenting her childhood survival under the brutal totalitarian regime of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Set against the backdrop of the 1970s genocide, the book is narrated through the innocent yet observant eyes of Ung as a five-year-old child whose comfortable middle-class life in Phnom Penh is violently shattered. Forced into labor camps, separated from her family, and trained as a child soldier, she witnesses unimaginable horrors, starvation, and the systematic execution of over two million people. Despite the overwhelming tragedy, this powerful and internationally acclaimed book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the enduring bond of family, and the courage to survive against all odds.
