- Summary:
- Villager Duong Van Khang discusses living under French rule and recruitment of soldiers by the French for their colonial army. In order to avoid recruitment, Duong Van Khang went into hiding. He discusses daily peasant life and how life changed once the French left and the Japanese arrived. Because of the hardships that Duong Van Khang and his family experienced, he joined the Viet Minh to fight for the rights of peasants and other workers. He talks about fighting tactics the guerrilla army used against the French and his involvement in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu including the destruction of the Phung Bridge. Duong Van Khang also touches upon his reaction to the cease-fire and the Geneva Agreement.
