Being Khmer and listening to this poem I can not stop my tears from dripping. I am so ashame of myself that I don't have any power in this life time to help my suffering people. Since 9 years old I was forced to leave my beloved homeland to live in a foreign land. Thirty year later, I still couldn't stop crying because I miss my home so much. To all Khmers around the world, I just want to let you know that I love you all very much. Please forgive me that I could not make you proud.

That's alright, issarak. We forgive you and forgive all Khmer who love Khmer but didn't have a chance to help Khmer with some reason. Thanks for watching.

it gaves me chills listening to this the whole time...trying to hold tears back but can't help it..every since i was little my parents always talked about kampuchea and it seems that no matter how much we were bashed we still stand up with proud and dignity to this day i hope other younger generations and the generation we are in to never forget what was once lost

I've never heard a Khmer poem before, and hearing it being read this way is pretty amazing to me. It sound so beautiful and it's done with such emotion and passion. I'm Khmer myself and have been living in the United State since I was about 10 yrs old. I like to thank "PromMukbuon" for sharing this video.

As for DAYyoungFAB, congratulation on your scholarship to Harvard.big accomplishment. Your desire to bring justice to Khmer and its people is noble but get that master degree first.good luck
