On April 10, 1977, Cambodia's press and propaganda minister, Fu Ning, was arrested in the "S-21 concentration camp" and brutally tortured, resulting in insanity. On July 6, 1977, Fu Ning was executed, and the day before he was executed, Fu Ning wrote a line with trembling hands: "I am not a human, I am an animal (born)!" ”
What Fu Ning meant by this sentence was not understood by anyone. Maybe it was the mentally ill who wrote it carelessly, or maybe it was a summary of his own life, hating himself for abandoning the light and throwing himself into the dark, joining Pol Pot's camp, harming the people and himself.
In 1930, Fu Ning was born in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia. Although Fu Ning is Cambodian, he is half Chinese, so he is slender and good-looking, a bit like Zhao Youting. Fu Ning's reincarnation technique was not good, and he was born in a poor family. But others are smart and lucky, and the road to life is like opening a plug-in.
Generally speaking, chinese who can go abroad to earn a living are smart, and the Fu Ning family is no exception, although the family is not rich, but they are willing to let Fu Ning go to school. Of course, Fu Ning was able to complete his studies because of his excellent grades and received a scholarship.
In 1941, King Moniwang died, and his grandson Prince Sihanouk was chosen by the French as King of Cambodia. Although King Moniwang has more than a dozen sons, the Cambodian throne is not hereditary, but a royal system, choosing a king from the three royal families. Prince Sihanoukville was not only the grandson of King Monivan, but also the grandson of his father and King Norodom, whose patrilineal line was royal.
At this time, King Sihanouk was only 19 years old, and the French sent Sihanouk a sum of money to build a luxury villa, but King Sihanouk used the money to build a school, called "Sihanoukville Middle School".
Fu Ning was one of the students of this school, and Pol Pot, Insali, Lonnon, Chosamphan and others were also students of this school. Later, they all passed the examination for public scholarship and went to Paris, France to study. It can be said that they were greatly favored by King Sihanouk.
But after they arrived in Paris, France, they accepted a certain idea (Marx), and began to oppose Sihanoukville's monarchy.
Fu Ning was a lucky man, and it was because of the support of the Kingdom of Cambodia that he was able to complete his studies, and he studied abroad at public expense, not only becoming a cultured person, but also with a bright future. However, he was uneasy about academics and embarked on a road of no return.
After completing his post-doctorate in law in Paris, France, Fu Ning returned to his beloved homeland of Cambodia. At that time, Cambodia attached great importance to intellectuals, and Fu Ning, Khieu Samphan, Hu Rong and others all left their teaching work and became ministers of King Sihanouk.
However, Fu Ning, Khieu Samphan and Hu Rong did not agree with King Sihanouk, they had their ideals and hoped to redden Cambodia, so they had many conflicts with King Sihanouk.
(The specific contradiction is explained in detail in the article "He was Sihanouk's minister, but he defected to Pol Pot and was executed in 1977", which will not be repeated here.) ）
Fu Ning, Khieu Samphan, and Hu Rong were severely criticized by King Sihanouk, and they were so frightened that they quietly fled and defected to Pol Pot in the jungle. The three of them fled without informing their loved ones, and no one knew where they had gone.
Rumors spread that the three of them had been killed by order of King Sihanouk. So students and workers also held a massive protest in the streets against King Sihanouk's killing of intellectuals.
However, after the Lon Nol coup in 1970, Fu Ning, Qiao Senpan, and Hu Rong appeared alive again, so the three of them got a nickname "Ghost Trio".
In the face of Fu Ning, Khieu Seng Pan and Hu Rong, Pol Pot was very happy, treated them with great courtesy, and praised them as "cambodia's three major revolutionary historical figures." Because Fu Ning, Qiao Senpan and Hu Rong were more cultured than Pol Pot and Insali, the three of them became Pol Pot's "National Teachers".

As a result, those who can share hardships cannot share wealth, while intellectuals have their own ideals and integrity, and after Pol Pot took control of Cambodia in 1975, he looked down on these three "national teachers" and called them the meticulous works he had sent into sihanoukville's camp.
Hu Rong, on the other hand, was upright and dared to speak for the people, and he opposed Pol Pot's expulsion of the urban people to the countryside, so he was killed by Pol Pot in 1975.
Fu Ning lived two more years longer than Hu Rong, but he was also at odds with Pol Potege. He did not want the luxury car that Pol Pot had assigned him, but had to ride in the old Jeep of the Lon Nol era. Pol Pot's claim, Fu Ning dared to oppose, so in 1977 he was ordered by Pol Pot to be arrested and imprisoned, and then brutally killed.
If there are any good people in Chi Kam, it is Fu Ning, Hu Rong and others who were ordered to be killed by Pol Pot. Fu Ning really went the wrong way, and how good it was to follow King Sihanouk, he had to oppose King Sihanouk and defected to Pol Pot, and the result was a tragic ending.
Finally, let's talk about José Pan. The old slippery head is still alive, over 90 years old, living in a luxurious nursing home in prison, eating well, living well, drinking tea, reading, writing books, and having a clear mind to appeal to get out of prison. Qiao Senpan is sleek and sees the wind make the rudder, so he has a long life, at least more than 40 years longer than Fu Ning.
