Download or read book The Sparrow Fugitives written by Caleb Ho and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a tale of escape by the author, Caleb Ho, from the totalitarian control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the Cultural Revolution. Like the lowly sparrow, whose purpose and intent is only for good within its habitat, the author loved his homeland and was committed to being a part of its development and growth even though he didn't believe in the ideology of Communism. And so like the sparrow, that had to flee for its life because of the CCP's arbitrary decision to include it on a list of pests to be eradicated, the author found himself targeted and fleeing his homeland in 1969, penniless and destitute, with only the desire for freedom, righteousness and truth giving him a sense of hope and purpose for the future. This is also an account of the author's own experience under the CCP through its many campaigns up to and including the Cultural Revolution. His graphic descriptions of what he observed are not for the faint of heart, but they draw the reader into the reality of what almost one billion people experienced and saw during this dark period of Chinese history. There are moral lessons and challenges here, forcing us to think and consider what we would do if put in similar circumstances. While graphic, this account is also touching and poignant, pulling at our heart strings and awakening us to life with its joys and sorrows, leaving us with the question, what if this had been me?

Download or read book Escape from Communist Heaven written by Dennis W. Dunivan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Viet Nguyen, the only thing worse than rules are the people who enforce them. This may not be the best attitude to have in a society that punishes dissent with death. A rebellious teenager is often the main character of young adult fiction, but what makes Viet particularly interesting is that he challenges a system that borders on genocide. Communist tanks advance through Viet s Saigon neighborhood when he is fourteen years old, and overtake the Presidential Palace as American helicopters retreat over the South China Sea. During the frantic evacuation, the American Embassy isn t able to destroy secret files containing the names of South Vietnamese intelligence officers. Viet s father is one of these officers. Within days, the city is infiltrated by communist soldiers who take over public buildings and spies who move into local neighborhoods. To survive, his family must keep a low profile. Viet s life was better during the war. With the Americans gone, he has little hope for freedom and must watch his every step. But his rebellious spirit gets the upper hand and he is arrested in the black market, becoming one of more than a million people in labor camps spread across the jungles of Vietnam. Viet s captors have a dream. When everyone on earth is under their control, they believe, we will have reached Communist Heaven. Many of the prisoners are ex-soldiers. Others are religious leaders, academics and anyone who might provide leadership against the new regime. Tens of thousands of these prisoners die of starvation, malaria and physical beatings. Viet is determined not to be one of them. He uses the same daring that led to his arrest to create a chance to break free. Based on the true story of Viet Nguyen, this novel is about a teenager who makes some mistakes and faces the consequences. To know freedom, he must not only escape from prison, but also from his country."
