Naldo Rei nia istoria moris nudar testimuña ba sakrifisiu ne'ebé Timor-Leste hasoru durante luta kontra militar Indonesia ba Independensia. Ida ne'e nudar literariu ba dala rua hosi autor Timor oan ne'ebé publika iha Ingles iha periodu liutiha okupasaun. Ba dala uluk mak The Crossing, knaar furak iha diaspora ne'ebé Luis Cardoso hakerek. Cardoso nudar parte hosi membru ne'ebé relativamente previleju, joven ho orientasaun lusofonu moris iha administrasaun kolonia Portugez no eduka iha seminariu Katoliku. (Nia kontemporaniu inklui numeru futuru lider politika, entre sira mak eis lider rezistensia no Primeiru Ministru atual Xanana Gusmão). Cardoso hetan bolsu estudu atu estuda iha Lisboa molok invazaun Indonesia ba Timor-Leste iha tinan 1975. Situasaun ne'e halo nia labele fila ba Timor durante tinan 24 nia laran. Knaar rua ne'e refleta jerasaun ho esperiensia diferente no trajetoria pesoal.
Moris iha 1975, Rei nudar labarik okupasaun. Nia livru fo naroman ba esperiensia no jerasaun jovem ne'ebé sosializa iha kultura rezistensia no segredu. Liu husi nia lensa pesoal ne'ebé hodi nia hosi Timor-Leste ne'ebé Indonesia okupa liu hosi Jakarta no exiliu iha Australia no fila ba Timor-Leste ne'ebé independente - ami mai atu komprende oinsa esperiensia formativu rutiniza iha violensia ne'ebé fo impaktu ba politizasaun jerasaun ne'e. Ami aprende hosi efeitu devastasaun funu no dezlokasaun strutura familia: oinsa otas labarik nia radikaliza no haree ho besik no oinsa nesesidade no ambisaun nudar jovem lakon iha luta nia laran.
Rei nia moris uluk marka ho post invazasaun ne'ebé khaotiku no rihun ba rihun ema sai refujiadu iha foho atu hadook an hosi forsa Indonesia; sira nia hakoi tuir mai no subjesaun ba tekniku kontrola ne'ebé intensu no intimidasaun. Momentu ne'ebé determina nia moris mak bainhira forsa Indonesia oho nia aman. Eventu kritiku "muda hau, labarik nurak sai nudar soldadu no luta nain rezistensia. Justisa ba hau nia aman no hau nia rai, no hirus ba opresaun ne'ebé ami hasoru konstantamente, halakan ho ahi iha hau nia kabun" (276). Hosi pontu ne'eba, nia identidade nudar rezistensia ida firme kedas.
Rei rekruta ba movimentu klandestina nudar mensajeiru espesial, papel ne'ebé presiza joga moris iha risku laran ba moris duplu. Tenki iha loyalidade ne'ebé labele kestiona iha autoritariu no korente hirarkia komando, iha ne'ebé labarik nurak ne'e tuir hela deit. Militar Indonesia kaer, interoga no tortura nia beibeik. Esperiensia traumatiku serve deit atu reforsa tan nia patriotismu, no nia hetan reputasaun nudar "ema ne'ebé nunka tohar". Nia sakrifisiu boot tebtebes, konsekuensia atu sobreviver ba asaltu fiziku no psikolojiku nudar forma depersonalizasaun no distansia emosional.
Lakon suporta familia no tulun hosi kedas otas nurak, nia hetan komunidade no domin fraternu entre nia kamarada sira iha redi rezistensia. Liu hosi moris intensu tebtebes, hyper-maskulinu no hyper-mundu vijilante no kontra insurjensia no hanoin, Rei ema ne'ebé interesante ho karisma flokoriku no mistiku ba rezistensia prinsipal - no nia aman nudar figura ida nia servisu atu proteje. Heroiku, no dala ruma romantiza, imajen hosi tipu gereileiru uluk sai nudar sentru ba identidade Rei: nia hakiak nia fuuk naruk atu aserta ba diferensia ho forsa Indonesia.
Kultura rezistensia forma nia relasaun ho feto. Kode konduta ne'ebé forte hodi hases an hosi sasan romantiku, maski nune'e autor ho moe-moe inziste katak nia laiha interese no enerjia ba sasan sira hanesan ne'e, nia klaramente la interese ba atensaun feto foin sae sira, mos la preokupa ho nia imajen rasik nudar esotiku. Nia memoria ba nia aman ne'ebé militar Indonesia oho forma nia patriotismu, nia konesaun ba inan hakiak ne'ebé fo emosaun besik ne'ebé nia laiha. Tematikamente, feminiza espasu ba protesaun ba feto hirak ne'e ne'ebé reprezenta, fo dalan ba kontra kultura superior maskulinu, no parsialmente troka hodi nega nia an rasik ba komitmentu ba luta ninian.
Halai ba estranjeiru, lori mudansa ba Rei nia moral no sensu ba nia an rasik. Iha nia halai ba Jakarta, nia moris hosi suporta ativista pro-demokrasia Indonesia no grupu solidariedade hosi ne'ebé nia servisu besik: ida ne'e fundamentalmente muda nia dezafiu ba asumsaun hasoru Indonesia hanesan inimigu. Maski ho nia terus no frustasaun nia sofre iha ne'eba, nia kontinua involve iha ativismu estratetejiku ba mundu. Relokasaun ba mundu, ho kontrariu, esperiensia nudar la hakbiit. Nia luta ho soke kultural, difikuldade osan, difikuldade lingua no sensu ba ema ne'ebé husik let.
Bainhira libertasaun mai, Rei fila ba Timor-Leste atu dokumenta selebrasaun independensia. Liutiha hetan tiha liberdade iha tempu inisiu, iha lakon koletivu ba momentum no fokus. Lakon sira nia papel sentral iha urbana bazeia ba intifada, jerasaun Rei hasoru dezafiu, oinsa atu rekonsilia ho pasadu no rekonstrui sira nia an rasik hanesan sujeitu ba post kolonial. Nia livru no testamuña ba sira nia terus. Ne'e fo kestaun fundamental konaba papel poder patriarkal iha konstrusaun ba kultura luta nain. Reflete ba legalidade nia rezistensia iha tempu kiik ona, nia hakerek "labarik tenki labele sai soldadu…Hau sinti hau lakon hau nia tempu labarik no sei nunka hetan fila fali" (278).
Hakerek ho diak, narativu Rei nudar konsiensia rasik no sentimentu no laiha kualidade liriku no laran diak, humor ne'ebé hatun hanesan The Crossing hosi Cardoso. Maibe nia istoria nudar kontribuisaun importante ba literatura Timor ne'ebé foin moris ne'ebé fo inspirasaun sira seluk atu hakerek sira nia rasik.

In this writing, Id like very much to thank Maun Naldo Rei for his hones account of the suffering and tortured that he endured during the occupation. I bought the book when I was browsing through the bookshop at my uni. Every page of the book tells an alarmingly inhuman cruelty of the Indonesian army during the occupation, as a timorese, when I turn to every page for the reading,I cried hugely for the real story told. Naldo, thank you very much, if it is not becouse of your book, I would not have known and appreciated what suffering during the occupation of our land mean. Now, Im reading up to chapter 32 sth, I will be finishing soon.Every east timorrese, specially the young generation, should read this book, otherwise we wouldnt really understand what freedom means in a free East Timor. I hope to see this book translated into tetum and bahasa indonesia sometime in the future.
Thank You Naldo.
