According
to Valverde's article about Chau Huynh, an artist who wants to show her
Vietnamese - Americans a culture that would not be forgotten. Not only did we
lose Vietnam to the communist, many people had to leave the war-torn country in
fear of being hunted by the communist party. By being raised by a communist
dad, she was not able to see the other side of the story like the refugees that
had to escape by boat also known as the boat people and many did not make it.
The Communist Party solely erased and brainwashed the memories of the country
to show oppression and raise political powers over the people also known as
hegemony. Through memory amnesia, and after 30 years that has passed, the
country has rebuild and many people had already forgotten the past that was the
purpose of the political parties.
Q: Why was Chau clueless about the boat people and refugees
that had to leave the country?
