Description

Every day, she gathers pieces of heaven and is a debut and autobiographical novel by the author Vadei Latner, who managed to survive under the Khmer Rouge regime that led Cambodia into extreme Communism and genocide in the late 1970s. In this work, based on the historical tragedy of Cambodia, the author was moved to paint a struggle for survival, with no strings of enthusiasm and hope in life, despite the terrible things that Rami was experiencing. Rami lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, with a large family of royal descendants and poets, a beautiful mother and a young sister, Ladana, and a loving servant. On April 17, 1975, the most peaceful day, the Khmer Rouge surrounded Phnom Penh and forced them to move from the capital. A delicate and mild father is purged for being a royal, and this continues to plague Rami for a long time. The mother and the sister, Ramy, and Ladana, who are left behind, will be starving for a while in a rural corner, where hunger and malaria kill their young sister, and Rami is guilty of not taking care of her. Mothers and Rami are constantly on the move, suffering from tragedy, but with memories of their father's memory, poetry, and the myths and legends of Cambodia, Rami finally survives life and comes to realize in his own way the principles of true humanity, life, death and reincarnation...

I ordered to read before going to Cambodia, but it's not as good as I thought.

I remember killingfield, and I was confused with Vietnam and Cambodia as a child, but I still remember the story of the film Killingfield, because of its intense memory. The Khmer Rouge, a Cambodian communist armament, revolutionized the overthrow and embolization of the regime of the day? Although the criminal was a group of over-informed, and their atrocities were under the name of war, the number of victims, which were driven to the extreme of cruelty, reached two million people, one fourth

The first movie to come to mind is Cambodia: Killfield. No, it's the only movie that comes to mind. The only reason why we are reminded of the film "Killingfield" is that Cambodia is not a country with a historic or socially well-known location. Or maybe every shot the movie gave was just too shocking. As a child, I don't know if I saw so many people dead, and the shock of the KMR's death to their own people has not been gone. So I couldn't help but feel that the title of his autobiographical

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Cambodia as the background of this novel is the film "Killing Fields" which has been based on the civil war in Cambodia. It is terrible that a third of the population was killed by an armed group called the Khmer Rouge in the brutal face of the terrible massacre. How could we kill innocent people to maintain our own regime? A Cambodian writer who had suffered such terrible internal violence published a book called "I Pick Up a Part of Heaven

A case known as the Kill Field movie. It was the massacres of the Cambodian armed forces in the 1970s, by the Khmer Rouge, when a third of the people of Cambodia were killed. The body of a living body in the tragedy of modern history wrote a autobiographical novel called "I pick up a piece of heaven every day.". She had experienced such a place as hell at an early age, but she was the one who found a piece of hope that was shattered. The title kept me thinking of the poem Chohon of Kim Sowell.

I've been reading novels for so long, and I'd read them slowly because they were strangers and people in other countries, and because at the beginning, they didn't even know what to do. But as I read it, I saw little Rami's eyes, and it was really more devastating and my country was also a part of this genocide. The story begins on a day of tragedy that has taken place in Phnom Penh's peaceful home, and again the main character, Rami, recalls his childhood and tells stories of what he is going

Cromer Rouge, the name of a group that had overthrown and desalinated a country I used to memorize as Cambodia when I was in elementary school. They did a revolution and then they made Cambodia into a kind of a dust-up in an instant. We're remembering that the number of people who were brutally killed by their hands was about three-thirds of the population at the time. This is a novel written by a seven-year-old girl named Rami. Her father was an agent of foreign education, and he rode in a

And the story of Cambodia. If that's my reality. A terrible reality, a despair with no hope for tomorrow. Disease, death, execution. #8203; 'Revolution' first came to everyone in dreams and hopes. And yet the reality is that life and life of the people are determined by the name of the Kumer Rouge's madness. We get out of Phnom Penh safely with our families, but things get worse. But when this miraculous day is discovered that he was a prince, he is taken away from his organization and
