    The document describes Loung Ung's experience during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. It discusses her family's forced evacuation from Phnom Penh and their difficult seven-day walk to the countryside. During this time of misery, the only pleasure they find is brown sugar that Loung's brother Khouy shares with the family. The document also provides context about the Khmer Rouge and their rise to power by gaining support from farmers and peasants who were opposed to the bombing of their villages by the United States.
