For the elders: As young children 90’s born in the states we did not fully comprehend what you were saying. There was war everywhere in history. All we knew was that being Hmong was miserable,poor and a struggle. It wasn’t until we got back on our feet and the first generation Hmong-Americans grew up did we finally understand the scope of what happened and what really went down. As with anything in life a human cannot fully comprehend and sympathize until you are older. When we were told the horror stories, they were just that: HORRORS. We were spooked and freaked out but it is only until you are older and out the “struggle” so to speak, is when you can fully understand what happened. With that being said thank you to all the elders that never got thanked for fighting through because all I knew was that being Hmong was that I was different. I did not know that there was such beauty and wholesomeness in Hmong pre war history and in the Hmong people’s spirit.

This is a great and sad story.

Tu siab luaj peb hmoob txoj dab neeg

Thank you😭❤

Thanks for being a very good wife. May the good lord bless you alway.

The name "miao 苗" is derived from the term "三苗", which was used in ancient Chinese literature to refer to a certain ethnic group without any discriminatory connotations. After the Song Dynasty, the word "miao" was reused to describe the current Miao people. Some people believe that the Miao are the descendants of the "三苗". Because of Chinese influence, the Southeast Asian people use the similarly pronounced word "meow" to refer to the Miao people. Perhaps "meow" has been given a discriminatory meaning in history, but this does not mean that the Chinese word "Miao" has a discriminatory meaning.

Deserved for being CIA shills. Forever branded as race and class traitors. Cry forever

The damn CIA and US government truly did the Hmong dirty! Very sad story.

Txoj kev no peb hmoob yuav chim thiab mob mus txhog thaum hmoob mes ka txia mus ua mes ka tag lawm peb hmoob thiaj tag tej no os hmoob .Kuv tus siab heev rau peb hmoob cov thawv coj tuag tiam no os hmoob.

Triste vérité malheureusement, voilà les effets secondaires de la guerre , souffrance persécution

Wish all our elders who has a good memories about the Secret War able to share their stories on here for us to see.

It's sad to dig to the past. Let go your past and focus on your present.

I will join you my friend

Damn

A lot of Hmong are in Minnesota and St. Paul right now

One of Hmong Hero that lives on in our heart.

We the Hmong don't just want you to call us "Hmong." We are Hmong. Meo or Miao is you and other people want to call us. You and other enjoy to label the Hmong in your own word "Meo" or "Miao". By doing so or call us Meo, it makes you feel good. I am speaking in the backend.

苗 = grass & field 從來不是貶義詞 似乎只有在美國的苗族會如此訴說這由美國右翼cia編造出的假故事 Miao = grass & field is never a derogatory term It seems that only the Hmong people in the United States tell this fake story made up by the American right-wing cia

Many love to the both of you!

If you blamed, blamed Americans.

Our political leaders promised those people come with us we will take care of , then at the end left them to dangle an twist in the breeze

Bearing powerful witness, tragic terrible testimony, the necessary narrative,

Thank you so much Mr. Rosenblatt. You got it 100% right except you did not know the fact that Chinese rulers consolidated more than four minority groups into one identity - the Miao - and one of the minority group in there is Hmong.

Txoj kev phem uas kom tes nrog yeeb ncuab thiaj ua rau tsoom hmoob nploj tiab tuag raug kev txom nyem.vim nej ntshaw nyiaj ntshaw nom ntshaw tsw hmoob tiaj raug kev txom nyem.tsis tas yuav qhia rau tsoom hmoob tias nej ntsib kev txom nyem.vim nej txoj kev ruam kev ntshaw nyiaj thiaj ntsib kev txom nyem.

ແປລາວໃຫ້ຟັງແດ່ ຢາກຮູ້ຄວາມຫລັງ

Tu siab rau hmoob txoj kev txom nyem 1975 txog hnub no hmoob tseem tsis txawj sib hlub xav mas tu siab kg

Hmong country is not laos. Hmong are hard work ing people. I respect them and they care about education. But laos block them.respect hmong from thailand.

Ua tsaug brother and sisters for keeping our history and culture alive.

Good job

this makes me cry🥺🥺🥺

A Hmong's life is filled with such deep sadness, but they have so much love and strength too.

I tried not to cry but part ways through I couldn’t hold back the tears. I wondered is it just me, because I was born over there and felt everything they’ve felt. How about our children (the first generation Hmong American), would they even know or cried too?

😭

Puas yog mas?

Very interesting 👍

Muab xav rau yav ntuj qub qab mas tu siab kawg os. Tuaj cuav zos tim koj lawm os

I’ve seen this numerous times... but it always gets me. Much love and RIP.

Thank you hmongsyory 40. Well done and yes we each have our own struggle and tragedy 😢while migrating from northern Laos to crossing the Mekong River to Thailand to yes another migration to whichever destination of your 👪relatives chosen to settle in. I'm very proud of the experience exhibitions hmongstory 40 presents. I definitely will have to make a trip to check it out. Love ✌and thank you to America embracing allowing hmong to ❤ vibrantly in so many categories.

This is honestly so beautiful, I love coming back to this video.
