Under the Naga Tail

In 1975, the Khmer Rouge had overthrown the Cambodian government, and the country was in upheaval. Mae Taing and his family acclimated to living under an authoritarian regime, but everything changed when Khmer Rouge soldiers began forcing the residents of their municipality to evacuate. Told they would be temporarily relocated, the Taing family had their homes confiscated. Those who resisted were sent for reeducation or executed. Eventually detained, Taing found himself at the mercy of cruel soldiers.
