passed, but for Kykeo Kabsuvan, his brother and friends, it was as if time had stood still. Now in their forties, the childhood friends came together from across Argentina to recreate a photo that was taken in 1983, when they were boys aged 4-10.<\/p>\n None had any recollection of the day the photo was taken, but they all slipped seamlessly into their roles. Kykeo\u2019s older brother, Dang, and two friends assumed their positions on the stoop of the Buenos Aires hotel that they all called home after their families were resettled from Laos to Argentina in the late 1970s. Meanwhile, in the foreground, Kykeo expertly struck a karate pose, his bright, impish grin undimmed by the intervening decades.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JtN_5il0pzA” image_src=”\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/JtN_5il0pzA\/hqdefault.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ z_index_tablet=”0″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”] \u201cI didn\u2019t know what I was doing,\u201d said Kykeo, 43, who now, as fate would have it, is a professional karate instructor. \u201cWe liked to play fight, but we had no idea that was a karate move. \u2026 I thought it was so funny when I saw it [the photo].\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe had no idea that was a karate move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While karate appears to have come naturally to Kykeo, as a boy he built on that innate skill with lessons starting at around age nine.

refuge to me and my family, so I\u2019m going to go.\u2019 But they had no frame of reference for what was in store\u201d for them in Argentina, said Chia, who has conducted extensive research on the Laotian diaspora and played a crucial role in identifying Kykeo and the others in the photo.<\/p>\n Photo \u00a9UNHCR\/Nicolo Filippo Rosso<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
