Vannead Horn

My name is Vannead Horn. I turned fifty-eight years old at the end of January 2016. In fact, I was a twenty-year-old young boy who lost his parents and siblings at the end of 1978 in the killing fields of the Khmers Rouges, Cambodia. I succeeded in escaping from my home country to France in January 1981, where I became its citizen by starting to work first as a gardener and then as an engineer with a master's degree in electronics and computers. As time went by, as I felt that I had succeeded in rebuilding a family of my own, I ended up as a man who has lives on three different continents of our Mother Globe (Asia, Europe, and America). I felt it was time for me to open my past and my chest so that I could show my wife, my children, and my grandchildren who I really was and the lovely relationship between my parents, siblings, and me. By having such a wish, I would especially like to send my tender message to heaven so that my parents and siblings know how much I have continued loving them until this very day. In other words, I am infinitely happy and proud of myself as the sole survivor of my lost family, as the invincible carrier and transmitter of their genes, for the rest of my life and beyond. As such, throughout my own book now, I would love for all of my adopted family, brothers and sisters around the world, who read this book to feel, as I do, that our families are very important and supportive to all of us.
