A Vietnamese martyr’s mother prayed for his soul for decades, unaware that he had escaped Pol Pot`s regime and ended up in Thailand.
At one of the family’s recent meals, there are two bowls of fish sauce, besides a plate of steamed vegetables and braised fish.
One bowl of fish sauce is for 84-year-old Trinh Thi Hay and the other, heavy with cut fresh chillies, is for her 60-year-old son Nguyen Van Ke.
