i don't know how credible this story is but my momma said she heard that a little Hmong boy got sacrificed by some chinese company owners up in laos. you guys all know that lots of land from laos is owned by chinese people for the sole purpose of gold mining. well lots of Hmong and other ethnics work for the chinese people as laborers as well as their children and the families set up huts around the areas. so there was this couple who had a son who is probably about 6 years old, the mom and dad works different shifts so one come back and one will go, in the process of going back in fourth their child has gone missing. they know the child cannot get out of the work site because there is big fencing, the only way out is the canal and the guarded gate. the parents asked the gate keeper but he did not see the child.so they called the authorities they wanted to check the bosses room but he refuses to open, so the authorities left and said that they will check in the morning and told everyone that they will not get out and must stay and the guard will keep them informed, then the right after they left the boss try to get out but the guard stopped him but he demand that he needed to go for job errands and the guard will get fired if he won't let him go. 3 hours later the cops found the boy's body tortured and beat. the parents speculate that it was the boss because it is the same way how the boss did but with a dog he sacrificed for the good fortune of the wealth of the company, the parents experienced first hand when the boss cut the testicles of the dog and pull it out and tie it with the penis and then killed the dog, the boys body was also found the same way. when news came out the boss was gone for 3 days and then came back and the authorities not do $hit as if they got bribed, am i speculating to much? is it a coincidence, i highly doubt it.

this is not about the boy being hmong but this is something you dod not do to a living creature, what nasty scum
u know wat i don't get is how selfish a human being can be taking another life because they think it will make their company wealthy

Is their any good stories beside those bad ones in which most Hmong tried to make up stories? Also do you have any proof of this happening in Laos?


Why is their always a bad stories relating to Laos from the Hmong ppl all the time? I'm curious...

I'm not saying that stuff like this always happens to Hmongs, I'm not trying to play the victim card I'm saying i don't know if it is credible if u even bothered reading, if u did not catch the essence of the story it is not about hate it is about killing of an innocent child

Then you're mom is making up rumors. Perhaps you're mom should buzz off since she isn't Lao or has anything to do with Laos anymore accept talking $hit against her countrymen over in Laos. Why make such a bad reputation and image for you're own people over in Laos? I'm sorry about my attitude but it is quite frustration, hearing so many $hit stories made up by many Hmong people over the years.

this is not about lao people in fact it had to do more with a selfish chinese merchant but that is not important, what is important is that the government who is to damn corrupt and rich people having their way, first of all my mom is not ur problem but she was from laos she can say whatever she wants she aint an instigator, don't be part of the problem be part of the solution, set aside the lao and hmong $hit and focus on how corrupt the government is and don't deny the government being corrupted because it is the truth

the chinese are fleecing laos for its mineral wealth.

the vietnamese are fleecing laos for its timber wealth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrr4-HuVdF8...player_embedded

the thais want to fleece laos for its potential hydro-power wealth. http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/2011/0...ld-for-now.aspx

the lpdr are more than willing to spread it legs for these countries because the top brass pocket the money into their personal accounts instead of using it to develop the country, just like the 'logging lord', general cheng.

chinese mining companies are notorious for being scumbags. they have atrocious safety records and view life as little more than a hindrance to profits. however, there's a fine line between being a scumbag and actually offering a human life as a sacrifice. guys like this need to dissapear and i'd be the first to personally accomodate it quietly some night in the moonlight while he's out in the woods with his pants down. better yet, i'd ambush his azz while he's heading into town and take him deep into the jungles and start slicing some things off.

Well said!

Don't blame the china man. It's Hmong people's stupidity that allows others to mistreat and exploit us. Best course of resolution is to pop-pop the culprit. Such governing body will bring no justice when money is all they see.

they need the job because it is a poor country, how about u just be respectful and nice, a child just died, i agree that the government sux right now

Because money is all they see that's why stuff like this happens. Why can't they just be farmers up in the hills?

hard to survive when there is not much easy lands to cultivate

Not so much about lack of nutrient rich land to farm but I believe the government there is banning people from farming. This could be the reason why people have to move into the cities and to find work or do something. Mining is the worst job anyone could think of doing? In a poor country like Laos, there's no safety guidelines and it's dangerous. Just imagine China and it's coal mines, they're modernizing but there's 3 or 4 cases of mine explosions from the past year killing hundreds of miners. It will be a lot worst in Laos. And Hmong people need to stay away from such jobs. If they have relatives, ask for economic or financial assistance. They need to run start their own businesses to run their livelihoods so they won't have to depend on anyone.

its not that they're banning farming...its that they want to move as many hmong people into the lowlands as possible so they have better control over them. they view hmong people who stay in the boonies as cha fa or rebels cause thats where the remaining ones hide. i think its a good move for hmong people. just look at town 52. its growing and many hmong peeps are better for it.

we're in a unique position to really benefit from the current government policy of resettling hmong peeps in the lowlands. if the hmong americans work even more closely with the ones back in laos, i think great things can happen.

Moving into the land of no jobs. All they can do is have their wifes and daughters advertise and entice Og Hmong americans to get some money. The government there has their own agenda to resettle people in towns. Like you say, it's easier for them to control but also serves as pool for cheap labor. This is where Hmong people will be exploited by foreign businesses/corporations. They will have no choice but to work for extremely low wages, long hours and dangerous work, and exposure to toxic chemicals/waste.

that's why its up to the younger generation to improve the economic situation of those still back in laos. like you said, the OG's have only one agenda and aren't educated enough to make any big impact. hmong people have a great brand. the texture style in all of our groups' clothes and the silver they all wear. those are unique to the hmong and can be used to brand a ton of products which can then be distributed worldwide.

laos is capable of producing commercially viable tea, coffee and tobacco. its already grown in small quantities but only for local consumption. imagine the economic impact if it could be mass produced and distributed. Song Zuying sang and made ONE video about hunan tea and that alone skyrocketed the tea industry in western hunan which a lot of hmong people grow and directly benefited from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huoEFYkpf84

the lpdr doesn't have enough vision for economic projects like this because they have no brand to market it with in the global market. we do. other people have already noticed the marketability of our own culture, its time we woke up and see it for ourselves, claim it and wring the most economic benefits from it.

i think i can come up with a few hmong specific brands from these hmong designs and that's not even including hmong silver bling bling.


look what we can do for the hmong textile industry alone if we coulda gotten Angelina Jolie to publicly announce her kid was wearing a hmong shirt.


just google hmong skirt or hmong hand bags and you'll come across hundreds of images like this where companies are already profiting from our culture.
