Specificatii
With only half a canteen of water and one baby bottle, a family of
eight fought for their lives in the killing fields and land mines
of Cambodia. Heroes emerge in the most unlikely places, under the
most dangerous conditions. They are often the most ordinary of
people facing extraordinary times. Surrounded by unimaginable
adverse forces, one woman would ultimately lead her entire family
to survive. Beautiful Hero is an autobiographical narrative told
from a daughter's perspective. The story centers around Meiyeng,
the eponymous Beautiful Hero, and her innate ability to sustain
everyone in her family. Meiyeng's acumen in solving problems under
extreme circumstances is thought-provoking and awe-inspiring. She
shepherded her entire family through starvation, diseases, slavery
and massacres in war-torn Cambodia to forge a new life in America.
Over two million people-a third of the country's population-fell
victim to a devastating genocide in Cambodia. The rise of the Khmer
Rouge posed not merely a single challenge to survival, but rather a
series of nightmarish obstacles that required constant
circumvention, outmaneuvering, and exceptional fortitude from those
few who would survive the regime intact. Beautiful Hero
suspensefully unravels the layers of atrocity and evil unleashed
upon the people, providing a clear view of this horrific and
violent time of the Cambodian revolution. The story highlights the
most basic impulses of man: good vs. evil, individual vs. group,
democracy vs. tyranny, and life vs. death. It is the ultimate story
of love, sacrifice, survival, and redemption. It reaffirms the good
in humanity by showing how one family lived and survived with grace
and dignity despite being pushed to the limits.
