Comrade Tui: Memoire of an Ideology

“Comrade Tui” had been a worker at an industrial factory. Believing that factory workers have been oppressed and exploited, Tui joined a movement to establish a labor union and applied t0 take some additional education courses. He hoped that one day he’d have a better quality of life.
It was at Ramkhamhaeng University where Tui began to learn about “Communist Party,” “Marxism,” and “Lenin,” thanks to his college friends and the many books widely available in the market at the time.
Even though he was not a member of the Communist Party, Tui joined the insurgency and served by growing food, sending messages between camps, transporting materials, and working to persuade villagers to join the Communist Party.
Although not a combatant who risked life in battle, Tui was once nearly killed by soldiers who had planned to ambush a group he was in late one night. Luckily, it had rained heavily that day and Tui and his team changed their minds on the planned route and took another. Tui survived that incident and has survived to this day.
