Sao Xob Moua was born in Laos in 1973, and immigrated to Thailand with his family in 1975 after the Vietnam War. His family had been recruited by the United States to fight against the north Vietnamese communists, and many Hmong people, including Xob’s father and uncles, participated in the Secret War.
