Kim Puc tenía solo nueve años cuando un avión del Ejército sudvietnamita bombardeó su pueblo de Trang Bang, en un ataque coordinado con el mando estadounidense que trataba de controlar el abastecimiento por carretera entre Camboya y Vietnam. La instantánea fue tomada el 8 de junio de 1972 por el fotógrafo vietnamita Nick Ut, quien entonces trabajaba para la agencia norteamericana AP, y ha dado la vuelta al mundo mostrando los horrores de este conflicto, que le costara la vida a miles de personas inocentes.
