    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nguyen Thuong Kham Thien, whose real name is Nguyen Dai Hai, was born in 1939 in Hanoi. During the 1954 exodus of nearly 1 million people from the North to the South, his relatives all boarded ships going south. However, his father did not let the family go because he followed the resistance. In 1955, when land reform occurred, the North Vietnam government confiscated his family’s property and boat, and denounced his family members publicly. His parents were imprisoned even though his father was a party member. His grandfather used to be the Chief of the commune, and provide shelter for resistance fighters. During the struggle session, however, denouncers called him a wicked landlord and then shot him dead. Thien witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, and vowed to avenge his family&#039;s suffering and his grandfather’s death. In 1956, after a “correction campaign” was launched, his parents were released. The family then relocated to Hanoi and settled in Kham Thien street. After that he studied electricity, then worked for the Electricity Department. In 1970, he switched to Hanoi Radio and Television Broadcasting. In 1972, he was lucky to survive during the B52 carpet bombing in Kham Thien street, which was a target of the Operation Linebacker II campaign. At first, he misunderstood that the United States had invaded and liberated the North. After this event, he changed his name from Nguyen Dai Hai to Nguyen Thuong Kham Thien. On April 30, 1975, when he heard the news that the North had won, he was very sad for the South. In 1979, the Vietnam-China border war broke out, his oldest son had to join the army but did not take part in direct combat on the battlefield. In 1980, Thien compiled his political ideas in a pamphlet for distribution, planning to urge the people to overthrow the communist government. However, he was arrested before he could hand out the leaflets and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. After returning from prison, he went to Saigon and worked as a sculptor, making rice-based figures to make a living. He planned to flee the country by crossing the borders. In 1994, he successfully fled to Bangkok, went to the US and French embassies and was accepted under political asylum. After moving to the United States, he settled in Houston, Texas and lived on SSI income. Nguyễn Thượng Khâm Thiên, tên thật là Nguyễn Đại Hải, sinh năm 1939 tại Hà Nội.
