Thank you for sharing your story and invoking the hmong pains within me that i myself silenced long ago. So that they may come up to the air, breathe and finally begin to heal again. I choked through tears i didnt know i had anymore throughout your story.. Haunting and yet so beautiful. ❤
Every Hmong family that emigrated to the US has a life story. My family too has a story. It was 1979 when I was just 5 when we started our journey to Thailand from the jungles of Laos across the Mekong River. To this day, that journey seemed like a dream to me but I still can faintly remember the journey…..it’s so sad when I think about what each family had to go through to get to this country. I thank God for our safe journey from Laos to Thailand to the US. To this day, my 3 sons have no idea what my family had to go through to get to this country.
Thank you for this. As a hmong man, born in 88 in Phanat Nikolm, I teared up listening to this. I remember translating for my grandmother in 93 and having a similar incident at the kmart on the west side of Saint Paul. As a kid I remember thinking to myself why we were treated like this. I wished I could've shielded this from my grandmother.
Thanks for sharing your story..My family came to the United States in 1978 and I was only 4 years old so I never seen nor remember anything. But my parents also went through alot to get us here.
I was born during the Secret War in Laos. My father was a Documenter and reporter 1963 - 1968. He got killed in the field 1968. I was only 2 years old, never seen the face of my father.
Hi..Sir, Today I’m here to watch our Hmong’s Story back in 1965..1975” In Laos. Wow..She does have experience about The South East Asia too, I’d love to hear the story too, though thank you for sharing your ClipVideo with us, 🤟🤟🙏🙏👍👍
I'm was a Hmong refuge in Banvinai Cap in Thailand for eleven years before came to the United States but still love to listen the Hmong story how and why we come to the United States , my self I still think back to 1976 until 1983 my life was very difficulty we were hiding in the jungle there was nothing to eat and no medicine to sport the people those hided comminit Laos red, So the Laos commint were use airplane drop the yellow rain for us at the gungle many kids and many old people were died we was got killed many times so my parents my sister we was spread I haven't seen My parents and My sister for Twenty years , in Banvinais Cap there was no mail been sent from Laos during the 1983 only people carry , one day I got a letter from my sister when I opened the letter it said My Dad was killed in 1983 at the gungle after 40 years until now the pain still in my heart the pain will never heals
This story is accurate and related to the most hmong’s refugee families who were fleeing the secret ar of Lao to avoid persecution by the communist regime
We are not Lao, you're right but we have made Laos our home for like you said "thousands of years ago". We are what you would call, "Hmong Lao" just like here in the United States, we are known as "Hmong Americans".
We Hmong have only been living in Laos for more than 200 years ago only - not thousands of years ago. Hmong started migrating outside of China during the Qing Dynasty 1800s when the Manchu took over China.
We Hmong are not Lao but we are Laotian as any minority groups in Laos. Lao refers to the lowland Lao and Laotians are Kao citizens regardless of your ethnicity.
Of course, Hmong is not lao in DNA, but Hmong are Laotian. Hmong is classified as East Asian which is the smarter group DNA than those Southeast Asian.
Thank you for sharing your story to the world. I want to sharing some of my thoughts about our Hmong community. If you decide to turn back and talk about the Hmong people's history there will be tears dropping with no smile. As a men born to be a Hmong is like growing up with no country there no Brian. I don't know about other Hmong men beside myself but I feel empty of no dream and hopes. If you look back carefully before five hundreds years from China down to south east Asia Hmong have turn into non nationality. There's are many environments where the Hmong people's lost their leadership, powers, politics and territory of integrity. I wish I was born to be who I can have a nation and a Brian.

I dislike these type of sad victimization stories. Even though its true, lets not pretend like the Laotian Hmong were innocents. They knew what they are signing up for when they allied with the French and then the Americans to overturn the ruling government. In any country, thats treason. And treason often result in bad things happening to the people.
Boi stfu you don’t anything about Hmong history if you talking mad shit like this. Hmong people were divided on helping the Americans. Many were forced to join the fight, and many others didn’t even know what was going on. You think everyone had a phone and pressed a button to vote? 💀 Go do actual research before you spew dumb shit

Yes, that’s why it’s important we put effort to taking advantage of it and not end up in jail, lockup or becoming homeless.
I lived in Thailand refugee camp from age of 4 to 14. Stay strong y’all refugees out there.
Thank you sister you clear all Hmong Vietnam war in Laos stories to be refugee in Thailand.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You speak for all of us who went through the war and fled to seek salvation from the genocide.

Such a sad but beautiful and touching story. Thanks for sharing your life experience with us.
“I didn’t choose to cross with them, I chose to die with them.” 😢
Touching story, beautifully told.
Thanks for sharing your story..My family came to the United States in 1978 and I was only 4 years old so I never seen nor remember anything. But my parents also went through alot to get us here.

Thank you for your share your true story yes that time every one so sad because no food no place to stay that time so many people died 😢
Wonderful lady
Keep up the stories of our Hmong people and its struggles
It's hard to listen to... Because most of us Hmong can relate it's taw emotions.

This is a touchy story but typical of the time. A lot of us have similar stories. Some went through a lot worse than her.
Actually, this only tells part of her story. You should read her books. Look for the story of her dad's cousin, Shong.
Beautiful
I was a baby born during that war ..glad my parents didn't drug me 😅
This story is accurate and related to the most hmong’s refugee families who were fleeing the secret ar of Lao to avoid persecution by the communist regime
I also have a very sad story too.
I remember that others people asked my mom to put opium on my 9 month brother before we cross the Mekong River,he almost die
Laos is not Hmong home land country. Thousands of years ago Hmong tribes migrated from china . So Hmong people are not Lao.
Not true......if it's true that means you can say black people are not American.....or Asian are not American.....and etc.
We are not Lao, you're right but we have made Laos our home for like you said "thousands of years ago". We are what you would call, "Hmong Lao" just like here in the United States, we are known as "Hmong Americans".

Who cause that, the Answer is America

Not just came to the United States drink beer and go party ..

And we dislike idiots who don’t study history and victim blame
This story is only one of thousands of Hmong 1960s to late 1980s of SEAsia and the West/USA.
