Son Sen was born in the village of Huong Hoa, Trà Vinh Province in southern Vietnam to a minor landowning family. Although the Khmer Institute described Sen as being of "Sino-Vietnamese" descent, Béréziat and others have confirmed that like several other Khmer Rouge leaders he was of Khmer Krom ethnicity. From 1946 he attended a teacher training college in Phnom Penh, and in the 1950s received a scholarship to study in Paris, where he became a member of a Marxist group of Cambodian students centred on Saloth Sar (Pol Pot), [[Ieng Sary]], and Hou Yuon. Along with other members of the group, Sen was influenced by the radical line pursued by the French Communist Party. | Son Sen was born in the village of Huong Hoa, Trà Vinh Province in southern Vietnam to a minor landowning family.
