My father was appointed to hi fong. He became mayor of hifong. Then the french get defeated in the north by the communists. So suddenly we just packed up and l everything. And we lost everything. We didn't know what to do. My father had, of course, collaborated with the french. But my father was afraid that the comonists would come in and kill him. Now she's been hired by rand to figure out the communists - the same people who chased her family away.
