NgocAnhLe - 2 Dec 2012 - In the years after 1975, the world had paid special attention to Vietnam, where thousands and thousands of people resolved to leave the country, gave up their home to cross the sea, on fragile ships, accepting all dangers in the sea, not yet knowing where to arrive, but just about to run out of the Communist regime, full violent crimes that even if with the "Electric pole, if knowing to go, it also ran too."
One of the hardest tragedies in memory of these people is the situation of unlucky Vietnamese people, still not embarking into the free borders, putting themselves in ocean, or just holding their bone in distant isles or laying back forever in the jungle, mountain in the Southeast Asian refugee camps until now.
Referring to them has been considered as a mention of tragic scene never heal in the souls of many generations now and forever, deeply touching in the conscience of mankind. This sad emotion was described by some boat-people as follows:
"I was a boat-people in Galang Island, Indonesia, was lucky to get to the free border. But unfortunately my children was died and now is lying there. I was very touched to this. I've seen every day at least one person dying. When they died, there was no burial shrouds to cover, just only their sticky suit. People dug a hole and buried them, taking a rock or branch to write the name of these dead people. Over the last 29 years later we still have been suffering for this, being sad, we don't know how to use words to describe it… but it is lucky that my mother now already had a grave to rest in peace. But almost the other dead boat-people to get nothing even their names."
"We have to go for not to live under the brutal communist system who always imagines, find way to punish us. Most of the people of the South Vietnam want pulling away from communism, particularly those who have been pulling away from communist for the first times on 1954 like my family."
Here below are some pictures of the day “Opening Ceremony of the Vietnamese Boat People Memorial” in Brisbane Australia on 02-12-2012. This event is considered a perfumed incense offering to people who have gone but not yet reached borders of freedom, also as multiple flowers to overseas Vietnamese community and Australia government in contribution to build the boat-people commemorative stations in Australia.
