Ms. Que Banh<p>For 22,000 <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnamese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnamese</span></a> &amp; some <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cambodians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cambodians</span></a>, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/C%C3%B4nS%C6%A1n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CônSơn</span></a> Island was literally the last stop on a journey that began with their arrest &amp; incarceration on the mainland. Their crime? Resisting <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ForeignInvaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeignInvaders</span></a> du jour &amp; fighting for their country’s independence &amp; unification. In addition to execution, causes of death included disease &amp; torture.</p><p>The French built the Côn Đảo prison complex in 1861 to hold <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PoliticalPrisoners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalPrisoners</span></a> and handed it over to the South Vietnamese government in 1954. It was a political Alcatraz on steroids, with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/inhumane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inhumane</span></a> living conditions, barbaric torture methods, no escape and, for many, no survival. The US &amp; its client state collaborators honed this hell on Earth to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dystopian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopian</span></a> perfection.</p><p>Sáu was sent to 3 jails before being shipped to Côn Sơn Prison, because the French didn’t have the courage to carry out her death sentence on the mainland at a time when it was against <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColonialLaw</span></a> to execute woman. She was the only female prisoner held by the French on Côn Sơn. </p><p>Like other Vietnamese who died for the cause of independence, Sáu, a national heroine who is celebrated in theater &amp; song, was elevated to the status of ancestral spirit. Every Vietnamese city &amp; town has a street named after her, as are many schools. She embodies the spirit of millions of Vietnamese throughout history, including soldiers of the First &amp; Second Indochina War, who sacrificed everything, their youth, their health, their love, their personal happiness, &amp; their lives, so that Vietnam could become a unified, sovereign nation.</p><p>“The lekima flower in full bloom, we are reminded of a heroine who died for future generations. The young lady so full of vitality fought against our enemies with firm spirit &amp; even death could not force her to yield”. The song echoes in the mind of everybody who visits Hàng Dương cemetary in Côn Đảo district, Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. Vo Thi Sau, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/heroine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heroine</span></a> mentioned in the song, was <a href="https://beige.party/tags/executed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>executed</span></a> by the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonialists</span></a> at the foot of Chua mountain in the early morning of January 23, 1952. 60 years later, her immortal patriotism &amp; sacrifice still shine in the heart of every Vietnamese person, particularly those who live on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ConDao" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConDao</span></a> island, once called “hell on the earth”. (Ref: VOVWorld)</p><p>The 20-hectare Hàng Dương cemetery holds the graves of more than 20,000 martyrs, including <a href="https://beige.party/tags/revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolutionary</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/martyr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>martyr</span></a> Lê Hồng Phong, patriot Nguyễn An Ninh &amp; <a href="https://beige.party/tags/hero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hero</span></a> Cao Văn Ngọc. Visitors are moved to see grave after grave, some named, some unnamed, stretching over the hill. Vo Thi Sau’s grave, set in gravel &amp; soil shoveled by her fellow prisoners, lies in section B.</p><p>Sister Sau was already a legend when the ship carrying her docked at Con Dao island in 1952. At the execution, she refused to be blindfolded, wanting to admire the motherland’s landscape &amp; sing until her last breath. Many families on Con Dao island have set up altars to worship sister Sau, whose legend has become eternal in Vietnamese hearts.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseRevolutionaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseRevolutionaries</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColonialResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Communist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communist</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthEastAsia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Viet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Viet</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USWarOnVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USWarOnVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LongLiveVietnam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongLiveVietnam</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnameseSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnameseSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearnHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USfundedTorture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USfundedTorture</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomenOfTheResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenOfTheResistance</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USTerrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USTerrorism</span></a></p>

Cambodians were <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dehumanized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dehumanized</span></a> like Vietnamese were. Both sovereign nations suffered many years of embargoes by US &amp; their Western allies, along with Cold War pals back then - China. US was still angry &amp; bitter about losing their imperialist invasion in Vietnam &amp; they opted to punish Cambodia, Vietnam &amp; Laos - they are really sore losers.</p><p>As you watch these <a href="https://beige.party/tags/documentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>documentary</span></a> films - please try to pay attention to how US officials haven't really changed their scripts in decades. They use similar lies/political deflective/avoidance verbal dances to this day. In 2024, they're talking about Arabs like they used to talk about Cambodians, Vietnamese &amp; Laotians - like none of us are human beings. It's just collateral damage when a million or more POC folks, far from Western worlds, are mass murdered for political power games.</p><p>Year Zero:<br><a href="https://watchdocumentaries.com/year-zero-the-silent-death-of-cambodia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">watchdocumentaries.com/year-ze</span><span class="invisible">ro-the-silent-death-of-cambodia</span></a></p><p>Year One:<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SkUc5MrZ1JU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=SkUc5MrZ</span><span class="invisible">1JU</span></a></p><p>Return to Year Zero:<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VjZBWtjKzVk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=VjZBWtjK</span><span class="invisible">zVk</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cambodians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cambodians</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WarSurvivorsForPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarSurvivorsForPeace</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FuckTheUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckTheUSA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USAterrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAterrorism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USATerrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USATerrorists</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TootSEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TootSEA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NeverForget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeverForget</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SouthEastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthEastAsia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geopolitics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USALies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USALies</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/warmongers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warmongers</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WarCriminals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarCriminals</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AmericanAbuses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanAbuses</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NeverTrustUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeverTrustUSA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USAWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SponsoredByUSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SponsoredByUSA</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USABullies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USABullies</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decolonization</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/educational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>educational</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USAFundsGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAFundsGenocide</span></a></p>
