Re: Chapei Grand Master, Prach Chhuon, Admitted to Hospital
Given the Khmer Rouge aversion to traditions, it is surprising that the communists allowed him to live.
Even if Prach Chhuon had been one of the 'Old' or not yet a player, you'd imagine that because he'd been blind since age 7 then he would have been useless in the fields and thus a total waste of oxygen, let alone rice.
His would be a fascinating story.
