The Confucius era sage said, when nation flourish that the ruler listens to people; the nation perish that the ruler listens to spirits. Exactly, this was happening during DK struggle for power and stability of its regime.
Nowadays, Cambodia is ruled by the DK rebels and collaborators alike. Deeply, Cambodia conscience is torn. The current regime is not much different than its predecessor, a one man show. That man wants Cambodians to say he is the savior. But in reality, he was more of a lackey of Hanoi. He condemns the opposing view and dehumanized his dissenters as ingrate of animal like. Further he declared 7 January was his second birthday and all of Cambodia origins. As it seems those who know don't say, those who say don't know. In fact, not to all Cambodians agree with his claim. There are survivors who fled Cambodia to safety during Yuon invasion in December 1978 prior to the 7 January 1979 occupation day. They were not the privileged or affiliated with the toppled DK regime. They survived and lived tragic and catastrophic regime to the end, except, they did not wait around for Yuon bo doi to liberate them. They liberated families and themselves at their own conscience and responsibilities.
These people disagree and do not kneel down to accept the stocked line,”7 January 1979 is the second birthday for Cambodia people and 17 April 1975 is a victory for Cambodia.” They are, in the sense, the truly freed. They saw 17 April and 7 January as Hanoi conspiracy plan and personal conveniences. Many still believe the only true liberation was 18 March 1970 when people would fight and die for Cambodia best interest.
