Translated from Khmer by Socheata
Red Print is a short novel about an interview between a reporter and Mao, a former KR solider. Mao described about his life from the beginning until now, a sad life filled with poverty that he shares with his two children in Pailin after the war ended. The disabled former soldier faces sadness, hardship and constant fear both during the war and during peace time. This is a testimony of the hard life faced by disabled veterans in general after the end of the war.
The author provides a vivid account that is easy to understand and grasp.
What is of the current fate of the former KR soldiers or that of soldiers belonging to other political parties?
This is a social issue that poets and authors should provide an account of as testimonials for future generations of Cambodian people.
