King Sihanouk Photography

Because in the Vietnam War, only China raised objections, while the United States and other western countries stood on Vietnam's side for their own interests. Although Sihanouk was the king, because of the participation of the United States, Sihanouk broke with the then Cambodian Prime Minister. As a result, Sihanouk was labeled as a rebel abroad, and Cambodia sentenced Sihanouk to death.

Sihanouk, who originally planned to fly back to Phnom Penh, was both afraid and scared after receiving the news. So when passing through China, Sihanouk stayed in China and was treated by China. China protected Sihanouk's political views of executing him, while Sihanouk temporarily stayed in China.

Although Sihanouk stayed at home at that time, he did not stop fighting at home, but assembled Cambodian troops to prepare for a counterattack. At the same time, China also made frequent voices in the international arena to help Sihanouk return to Cambodia. After the peaceful liberation, China and Sihanouk signed an agreement and gave Cambodian military aid free of charge.

Sihanouk returned to Cambodia with China's help, and finally defeated Lang Nuo's puppet regime and completely liberated the Cambodian regime, because he concealed his own strength. The reason why Sihanouk still had strength in chaotic Cambodia at that time was actually inseparable from his title of hero king.

Because Sihanouk helped Cambodia gain independence during his tenure as king, Cambodia was no longer afraid of Vietnam. In the face of Vietnam, Sihanouk was actually a little scared. Later, although Sihanouk regained power, he did not live in Cambodia. Instead, he chose to hand over power to others, and then returned to China to spend his old age. It was not until 20 12 that Sihanouk, who was 90 years old, finally died in Beijing.

Sihanouk, who has lived in China for 42 years, has a special affection for China. In China's song My Dear Second Motherland, he wrote: Ah! Glorious and great China, I salute you, I sincerely love you and regard you as my second motherland! ?
