ゲームの王国「クメールルージュの話」

ある独裁者はカンボジアを私物化した。無実の一般庶民を虐殺した。知識人は特別に敵対視された。彼自身が高校教師をしながら地下組織を育てた。知識こそが力であることを証明する。
A certain dictator made Cambodia somewhere he could utilize to his hearts’ contents in 1970’s, and he killed an extremely large number of ordinary citizens living there, countless of whom were someone innocent, he assumes.
We could see the killing fields where extremely numerous victims have been buried in Cambodia, everyone knows.
The notorious organization “Khmer Rouge” considered someone with knowledges, in short, intelligent people as persons they should eliminate from their territories, and they killed many common people with a pair of glasses without any persuasive reasons, to our disappointments.
Pol Pot organized his underground resistance while he was one of the high school teachers, in other words, he found himself someone intelligent at that time, she says.
These facts might demonstrate that knowledge could change our affairs and situations, an online article says.

ある書店の社員が居酒屋で愚痴をこぼしていた。それを面白いと思って小説にしたら売れたという本がある。噂話の内容と言えば他人の悪口しかない。店員は本に救われた者同士らしい。
A certain female clerk at the bookstore often complained about what the shopkeeper did and said there when she ate supper at her father’s restaurant because her direct boss was someone incapable at the workplace, he says.
He is written to be someone irritating those involved, and a female customer interestingly listened to her marvelous complaints, which enabled her to publish the book about the inferior shopkeeper and not a few staffs around him.
What interests us is that the book sold well, he assumes.
Several staffs became irritated from someone incapable, and they spoke ill of him behind his backs, which are only malicious rumors, but the author found these contents of their conversations worth expressing in the form of novel.
A moving novel would rescue people in need from their critical, deadly and lethal affairs, and many clerks at the bookstores confess such emotions, everyone assumes.
