Audio Diary: How This Long Beach Woman Survived the Khmer Rouge
Lean Taing is unsure about her exact birthdate. She is one of the many Khmer Rouge refugees living in Long Beach, many lost ties with their history and past en route to safety.
Besides their history, she had to endure family loss and violence to make her way out, even if it meant crossing mountains and avoiding bombs to escape the bloodshed.
Today, Taing finds comfort in the local Khmer dance classes at Long Beach's Homeland Cultural Center.
“Now, I’m so happy,” Taing she says.
In this audio diary, Taing shares her incredible journey of survival and finding happiness in Cambodia Town, Long Beach.
