I was visiting Vietnam and went to a foreign modern hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. It was 50 bucks for comprehensive health check with cray mri cat scan, blood work, etc. and the doctors are educated in France or the UK.
I cried when she was asking if they still remember her, they all truly love her and care so much they remember even the day she left and what they were doing.
I showed this to my parents. they cried so much, they left vietnam in the 80s and during that time keeping contact was too difficult. When I got older, I was able to find some family online with msn messenger. I cried so hard during that first video call. I saw so many family that recognized me since I left when i was only 1 or 2.
As an American the most amazing thing about this video is the walk in two hour emergency room visit that includes wait , consultation , and x ray. That's at least 6-8 hours here in the good old USA.
Hospital wait times are way too ridiculous... There was a time I broke my leg and had to wait two hours before I was brought back to a room and given pain meds... Shit sucked
Don't worry, the politicians say if we had globalized healthcare the time would DOUBLE! (Being sarcastic) It's not even about globalized healthcare, it's about have actually GOOD and affordable healthcare. We have neither.
@@moze_- Your politicians are actually right. Here in Brazil the healthcare is globalized and free, but the wait times are huge, to the point of waiting months just to do an exam.
@@RevoltAgainstModernWorld It's the same anyways here too lol. Took 7 dentists to find an appointment not 5 months out, and a family doctor for regular exams? At least 2-3 months between appointments. Edit; Oh, and now I don't have a job, so I won't seeing anyone anyone for anything at all. Or take 25-50 thousand dollar bill.
the fact shes more worried they all forgot her shows how much time she spent worried shed never see any of them again. This is one of the most heartwarming things ive seen in years thank you for what you do sir!
I’m Not religious but that elderly woman you found in the beginning of the video was truly placed in your path to find. Just finished the second video and it was amazing. Bless the woman and her regained family
Kyle: I really felt a twang of regret that I lost in a fire the only picture/address of a lady who worked on Bien Hoa Air Base 1968-1969. Her name was Huong and was from Cho Lon outside Saigon, I lost contact when I was discharged from the Army and my buddy who was still in VietNam lost my Mothers address. I am alive today because she looked after me and helped me through some rough times in Bien Hoa. I never forgot her and think of her almost daily. Your work is the Lord's work and keep doing it; your reward is the faces and happiness I saw in this video. I wish I could have been more helpful to her and possibly made a difference in her life. Looking forward to the reunion of subject family and your future videos. Stay safe.
@@EDHER-x7q that varies from family to family. Some people might want to see people they haven’t interacted with for a long time. If a preexisting bond still exists then it doesn’t matter how long. If both relatives live and care about each other then let them reunite.
You do such great work reuniting Vietnamese families and promoting Vietnam. I enjoyed your videos since Day 1. I hope you catch a break and someone realizes the asset you would be to their business. Don't lose faith, something will happen soon, you deserve it.
Everyone is talking about the timing with the grandma, but the timing with the nephew was impeccable. He was about to leave when they showed up but decided to stay home for the day when the news broke.
The videos Kyle makes shows such a unique beauty of Vietnamese people. The fact that neighborhoods and villages have people who live there forever and really knew their neighbors really help in uniting family and friends together. Thanks Kyle 😊
I guess this is commonly shared among Southeast Asians having a tight community and family bond. This is more prominent, particularly in rural settings.
You'll see this everywhere in the Old World among old generations. I'm Northern French and 95% of my >400 people-strong closer family (2 generations up) lives within 100 km of each other, and probably over 50% live within 20 km of each other. There's even a road in a village that shares my surname, since only people from my family live there.
Just wow, the driver sure deserves a extra bonus for this one. He pretty much delivered you to the front door of the right family! For new content, it comes when it comes, no need to rush. Rather spend more time and making sure it all looks great then have a rushed end product. Take care brother.
these reunion videos are always so sad but also happy. what i find fascinating is that the older generation has told the younger generation so much about the family members and family tree that even if they are so young that they never met, they still know who this person is. as far as vietnamese houses i've seen in rural areas go, i have to agree, their family seems to be doing much better now
My brother in law is a Filipino and was in Vietnam during the war. He is in United State airforce. He was assigned to a C-130 Hercules plane that evacuate the Vietnamese babies. Also, most Vietnamese boat people ended up in the Philippines before transfering to the United States. There are so many Vietnamese in the Philippines after the war. The Philippines helps the boat people settle in Palawan and Bataan, then the United States took them all in the Mainland U.S.
Old people are a treasure. They're the bridge connecting us with the past when information's just been lost. I have an 85 y.o. grandma in my block she's always lived here and knows EVERYTHING and everyone. She's busy recording the information with the architecture guys at a architectural and urban history center.
This video makes me miss vietnam so much, I went back last year after over 18 years since my first trip there. Family is such an important thing in Vietnamese culture. Good on you for helping someone with theirs.
I'm a Vietnamese-American myself living abroad right now and I enjoy your videos immensely. I truly hope you're able to find gigs that will fund your passion. I look forward to Cô Nga's family reunion video.
@@kyleledotnetcan you at least tell us how old boy is doing with his new life as of 3/7/24? he has deleted all of his youtube video on his channel and just posted one video with an AI generated young looking selfie. is he doing ok?
The way the relatives spoke to each other after not meeting for decades was almost the same when I went to VN and my sisters who has been back for 20 years talked to our relatives. crazy stuff
born in 1988 in Norway, raised here by Vietnamese parents who came here as boat refugees. I have never been to Vietnam =( breaks my heart. I am a proud Vietnamese no matter what ppl say, Vietnamese blood and culture run through my veins and soul

I'm glad people like you exist. My grandma tried her whole life to find her uncle who moved to the US. She died 15 years ago at age 90 still talking about how sad she was that she never found him, so I can kinda understand the desperation of people who are looking for their family. Only now I would have the technology, the knowledge and the money to be able to find her uncle but he was much older than her so he most likely died a long time ago and I kinda doubt that his kids (who should now be over 80 years old) would be that much interested in reuniting with our family, afterall there isn't a single person alive who knows each other. My father and his siblings are curious about this but don't seem really interested in actually trying it. They said they would want to know the story of what happened to them but they wouldn't really want to meet up and talk to each other.
The full documentary is still coming!! I'm so sorry I haven't finished editing it yet, I have been extremely busy filming a few reunion videos coming up! It'll be up soon.. A week or two... I hope..
You look good with the nehru collar! I had the honor of taking my mom back to Vietnam after 30 years. We had a reunion there and her friends she hadn't seen in 50 years showed up.. It was bittersweet because when I asked her if she wanted to move back, that I would get her a place and set her up with for retirement. She said that America was now her home and I felt the memories of the war were too overwhelming for her.. Thanks mom!
I loved this video! I was a baby when I left vietnam in 1979 and this year.. in April 2024, I finally went back to visit Vietnam. 45 years has passed!. I went to Da Nang and Saigon. What a wonderful experience. Vietnam is such a wonderful country and everyone needs to see it.
I have just watched your beautiful video .i am a 70 year old English woman who just happened upon your film. You are a lovely young man at a crossroads in his life and I hope you can find the right road to take in your life. I am sure fate will guide you and I wish you every success for the future .x
Fortunately, the older generation has such a close relationship that they can remember each other clearly, which is probably the most valuable thing that makes finding someone more feasible. I am not sure that young people today, if asked about someone's identity, would be able to answer.
Hey guys! Thanks for watching, please come back soon (hopefully next week) for the FULL reunion documentary. Please reach out if you'd like to see Vietnam with me / Would like a documentary produced by me about your own family. Please write me at KyleLe@usc.edu
Money definitely helps make videos and pays for expenses and logistics, but to make reunion content full time is hard... and requires a lot more than just money... stories, scheduling, etc etc. and vital information @@Draqoni333
This is your career path brother it’s what you’re good at. Keep reuniting these families you have a limited time as they are getting old. Great content!
its always crazy thinking about the perspectives for what kind of day it was going to be. For Kyle, this is a grand adventure to rekindle a lost connection, but for the family, it was a regular tuesday, it seemed like they never expected to hear from her again.
3 years ago, I met met my mom's dad for the first time. She hasn't seen him at all since her birth. Which made me happy. Seeing people reunite with "lost" family members, makes me soo happy to see. I've got to know my 2 uncles and grandpa's family "Mom's dad" Because of that, I knew that my interests came from him. No one else, my interest in electrician studies and motorcycles. I feel like that I am more like him than anyone else in the family, we spoke about his past and he gave me tips how to become a electrical company owner. I am now studying and hoping to be successful like him!
We all love you Kyle. Adulting is hard but what you’ve accomplished and how you’ve helped others is such a reward within itself. I just finished the reunion video and came back to watch this one as well. I’ve been following your work for years and your dedication to your culture and people is so heartwarming. You’ve touched so many and connected families all around the world. It does not go unnoticed. Keep persevering you’re on the right path!! Hugs to you.
I love your earnest intent. I was in Vietnam in 1970-71 flying medivac helicopters. The scariest and most character building years of my life. Since then I have been back many times and love Vietnam. Keep up the great work.
Don't ever give up , I tell my son the same thing everyday. This is the pathe God has you on. GOD WILL PROVIDE ALL THAT YOU NEED. JUST BE PATIENT YOUNG MAN❤
Everything was timed, from the delay of the hospital visit to the timing of meeting the old lady. Being part of a well knitted community also has it's benefits. That was also key. My neighbor next to me don't even know my name and we've been neighbors for years.
This was a really, really great watch. I’m currently living in da nang and it’s honestly such a beautiful community of people. Grateful this came up on my feed! good luck with all your future projects
Chào Kyle. Rất mừng bạn đã trở lại, người xem rất nhớ bạn. Dù mình tiếng Anh kém, chỉ có thể hiểu 50% khi bạn nói tiếng Anh, nhưng những gì bạn làm mình đều thấy rất đáng quý. Chúc Kyle luôn khoẻ mạnh để giúp đỡ được nhiều gia đình đoàn tụ. Love you from Sơn La.
Wishing you all the best from Canada! Your videos hit hard for me as a viewer, but the impact you make on the families you help with live with you till you draw your last breath... through the lows just know you have made lasting impacts and NOTHING can take that away from you.
Hi Kyle, I love your videos. Love when you reunite families. I love watching videos like yours. I used to watch David Nostas (Busca Personas Latino), but he died last year. He helped reunite hundreds or maybe even thousands of family. I think he too started on his own but with time his business grew. People started finding him and he also started to get sponsored. He became very well known in Latin America. In the end he had a team that helped him work (help him search for info or any documents), he had appearances on tv, had many more sponsors and he was able to fly family members to meet eachother. Whenever I see you reunite families, I really believe you can really be like a David Nostas too. Become big, earn your money, have stability & more, and help people. You totally have what it takes. I feel like you just need to meet the right people for this to happen but I totally 100% believe that you can. However, I don't know if this is something you want to continue to do. Maybe you have other dreams, that is ok too and you should follow them if that's the case. But just know that there are people outthere who believes in you and believes in your work and that you CAN do it, you CAN make it. Just believe in yourself too. Maybe try applying for bigger projects outside of TH-cam that you thought was "outside of your reach". Throw yourself in the "depth", try new things, find out what you like and don't like and make new experiences. You can only learn and grow from whatever you do, nothing less. Wish you all the best
seeing my parents now be able to have visual contact on a daily basis with family back home in cambodia is such a blessing. technology has its flaws but it also has its perks. keeping families closer than ever
Not sure if you received the second post//comment but I was trying to say is this video really touched me just the overall passion enthusiasm and the love and joy you bring too many hearts and families and friends it’s just a beautiful thing the passion, you have the ability to creativityand everything that covers under this umbrella God bless you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo forever
Awe, what a heartwarming story! Thanks for doing what you do! I still remembered one of your first videos where your mom was calling you crazy for traveling to Africa to meet up with a Vietnamese guy or something like that hahaha. I love that you are still doing this and that your channel has grown so much! Cheers from Los Angeles
Fifty one years is a very long time! Vietnam, especially Saigon has changed a lot, positively. Many don't even recognize it. Nowadays many old Vietnamese people living abroad want to go back to Vietnam for retirement, which helps them connect to the community speaking the same language and sharing the same culture and tradition.
So good to see you again Kyle! All the best with anything you chose is best for you! Seeing real life stories through your lens always brings a smile! :)
Hello Kyle, thanks for doing the work that you do. I'm Vietnamese and I was born in Canada. My dad left Vietnam before the war to study university in Europe but my mom lived through the war and was only able to leave Vietnam after the war ended. After all these years, both of my parents never returned to their home country. For that reason, I would probably never visit Vietnam myself, which is why I really appreciate your Vietnam videos, as well as your reunion videos, because I can experience the country through your lens. I really admire your work, and how fearless and adaptable you seem to be. I hope you find a way to be more financially stable so that you can have more freedom to do what you enjoy. Wishing you success in your future projects.
Thank you deeply Kyle this video has really touched me//to hear you see you to listen from your heart the passion you have for bringing and families together just the overall umbrella that you cover big volume. Thank you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo. God bless you.
I really liked this video already. I just happened to watch your video by youtube algorithm. I hope I can reunite my father with his family like this as it’s been 24 years since he was last back there. Thanks for sharing this video! It was happy for me to see it.
I've been back to my orphanage in Hoi An, and the ladies that worked there in the 90s recognized me due to some burns i got while there. It truly amazing!
Tbh, as a born Australian with Vietnamese ethnicity. Like any family who survived and escaped a civil war, that includes Nam. I will never go back because I can’t imagine myself being poor and happy like the rest of them.
Think of it this way. Lots of people in the West are lonely and feel they don't have any trust or connection with the people anymore. People are superficial and value materialistic nonsense over human connection and integrity, loyalty. Money cannot buy the latter. People move oun of communities they don't feel they belong in all the time. People take pay cuts to be closer to families and friends, or to have a better work life balance. People take on lower paying work to not deal with horrible management or co-workers. Those are factors as to why people can be happy on less.
my parents came to america in the mid 70s. My mom from Saigon, and my dad from Vung Tau. I was able to visit Saigon in 2006, but my dad passed away in 2017 and never got to go back to his hometown. I've always wanted to visit there to earn about his past. Seeing videos like this really help me feel complete. learning more about my country and my people. I wish I had the money to visit. I only had that one chance to visit one time in 2006, almost 20 years ago.
I thoroughly enjoy these types of videos....families being reunited is truly beautiful ! A couple of years ago we found my wife's mother that gave her up for adoption 53 years ago. Once we found out her name, we asked our neighbour who had the same last name, he said that's my sister. Bullseye, we found her with the first call.
Incredible! Goes to show you what a little drive and tenacity can get you. I know flying there was no small effort, but to think that after that the rest would just fall into place... a miracle! Lovely video, thanks for making this happen and sharing!
Brother, this is amazing. I commend you for all that you did for this family! Can't wait to see the reunion. I promise I won't cry, but I am scheduled to cut onions for a soup I'm making so....
My mom recently told us of her story coming out of Vietnam. The stuff she witnessed, and underwent. Insane. Absolutely worth documenting those stories while people are still around.
Hope you are feeling better dude, its Totally normal when a foreign object scratches our throat or nose or eyes and then when its removed, it still feels like something is there. Its because the tissues get inflamed and swollen after a scratch or irritation, and you can feel that swelling like it was a foreign object, also the nerves can get a bit overexcited and keep signalling for a short time after the object is removed. Hope you felt better soon afterwards
Bro this is Living. Like genuinely you are are beyond like wow. Brining lost family together i never thought about it but there’s not many deeds that you can do for people that is this beautiful and impactful
It's great that you're hustling, but all those gigs you mentioned aren't stable and indie/circuit filmmaking can even be a money sink on average. What about starting an agency to reunite families? Hire a few employees, and I can see you turning this into something lucrative (if there aren't tons of competing agencies like this already). You seem to be developing a nice reputation with folks seeking out your services, so you'd be skipping one of the hardest parts of starting up a new business. The family docs can naturally be part of the business. Lots of luck!

It was bittersweet because when I asked her if she wanted to move back, that I would get her a place and set her up with for retirement. She said that America was now her home and I felt the memories of the war were too overwhelming for her.. Thanks mom!
I loved this video! I was a baby when I left vietnam in 1979 and this year.. in April 2024, I finally went back to visit Vietnam. 45 years has passed!. I went to Da Nang and Saigon. What a wonderful experience. Vietnam is such a wonderful country and everyone needs to see it.
I have just watched your beautiful video .i am a 70 year old English woman who just happened upon your film. You are a lovely young man at a crossroads in his life and I hope you can find the right road to take in your life. I am sure fate will guide you and I wish you every success for the future .x
This Is one of the most insane videos I've ever seen in TH-cam
If that’s the case check out my best of videos or other family reunion videos… thanks … more insane videos for sure
Can't wait for your reunion video! They are tear jerkers for me. I'm 90% sure I'm retiring early this year and moving to Da Nang. Thank Kyle!
Welcome back Kyle!
Thank you. I never left though... if you followed me on IG!
Fortunately, the older generation has such a close relationship that they can remember each other clearly, which is probably the most valuable thing that makes finding someone more feasible. I am not sure that young people today, if asked about someone's identity, would be able to answer.
Yes it's true We meet and talk face to face
We visit our relatives (father and mother sides) in their homes
Hey guys! Thanks for watching, please come back soon (hopefully next week) for the FULL reunion documentary. Please reach out if you'd like to see Vietnam with me / Would like a documentary produced by me about your own family. Please write me at KyleLe@usc.edu
Hello Kyle I like your job ! Thank you :)
Go Trojans!
Welcome back, Kyle. Hope u have been well. Appreciate your videos. 😀
Have you considered Patreon? If you wanted to make videos fulltime then maybe that's a route to go?
Money definitely helps make videos and pays for expenses and logistics, but to make reunion content full time is hard... and requires a lot more than just money... stories, scheduling, etc etc. and vital information @@Draqoni333
"And that was all the info I needed." Damn, what a statement. Given the start of the video I 1000% know you can back that up too, gave me chills.
This is your career path brother it’s what you’re good at. Keep reuniting these families you have a limited time as they are getting old. Great content!
its always crazy thinking about the perspectives for what kind of day it was going to be. For Kyle, this is a grand adventure to rekindle a lost connection, but for the family, it was a regular tuesday, it seemed like they never expected to hear from her again.
I just found your page. You’re the saving grace to these families. Don’t apologize for anything
3 years ago, I met met my mom's dad for the first time. She hasn't seen him at all since her birth. Which made me happy. Seeing people reunite with "lost" family members, makes me soo happy to see. I've got to know my 2 uncles and grandpa's family "Mom's dad" Because of that, I knew that my interests came from him. No one else, my interest in electrician studies and motorcycles. I feel like that I am more like him than anyone else in the family, we spoke about his past and he gave me tips how to become a electrical company owner. I am now studying and hoping to be successful like him!
We all love you Kyle. Adulting is hard but what you’ve accomplished and how you’ve helped others is such a reward within itself. I just finished the reunion video and came back to watch this one as well. I’ve been following your work for years and your dedication to your culture and people is so heartwarming. You’ve touched so many and connected families all around the world. It does not go unnoticed. Keep persevering you’re on the right path!! Hugs to you.
I love your earnest intent. I was in Vietnam in 1970-71 flying medivac helicopters. The scariest and most character building years of my life. Since then I have been back many times and love Vietnam. Keep up the great work.
Signature Kyle! Another great video of family getting back together. i love these videos!
Having someone trustworthy is worth more than your weight in gold mayne. Youre a blessing
Ur finding family series never disappointed me. Cant wait for the reunion!!!
Don't ever give up , I tell my son the same thing everyday. This is the pathe God has you on. GOD WILL PROVIDE ALL THAT YOU NEED. JUST BE PATIENT YOUNG MAN❤
Everything was timed, from the delay of the hospital visit to the timing of meeting the old lady. Being part of a well knitted community also has it's benefits. That was also key. My neighbor next to me don't even know my name and we've been neighbors for years.
This was a really, really great watch. I’m currently living in da nang and it’s honestly such a beautiful community of people. Grateful this came up on my feed! good luck with all your future projects
thank you and thank you for watching. good luck in da nang
Chào Kyle. Rất mừng bạn đã trở lại, người xem rất nhớ bạn.
Dù mình tiếng Anh kém, chỉ có thể hiểu 50% khi bạn nói tiếng Anh, nhưng những gì bạn làm mình đều thấy rất đáng quý.
Chúc Kyle luôn khoẻ mạnh để giúp đỡ được nhiều gia đình đoàn tụ.
Love you from Sơn La.
cam on ban
Wishing you all the best from Canada! Your videos hit hard for me as a viewer, but the impact you make on the families you help with live with you till you draw your last breath... through the lows just know you have made lasting impacts and NOTHING can take that away from you.
Hi Kyle, I love your videos. Love when you reunite families. I love watching videos like yours. I used to watch David Nostas (Busca Personas Latino), but he died last year. He helped reunite hundreds or maybe even thousands of family. I think he too started on his own but with time his business grew. People started finding him and he also started to get sponsored. He became very well known in Latin America. In the end he had a team that helped him work (help him search for info or any documents), he had appearances on tv, had many more sponsors and he was able to fly family members to meet eachother.
Whenever I see you reunite families, I really believe you can really be like a David Nostas too. Become big, earn your money, have stability & more, and help people. You totally have what it takes. I feel like you just need to meet the right people for this to happen but I totally 100% believe that you can.
However, I don't know if this is something you want to continue to do. Maybe you have other dreams, that is ok too and you should follow them if that's the case.
But just know that there are people outthere who believes in you and believes in your work and that you CAN do it, you CAN make it. Just believe in yourself too. Maybe try applying for bigger projects outside of TH-cam that you thought was "outside of your reach". Throw yourself in the "depth", try new things, find out what you like and don't like and make new experiences. You can only learn and grow from whatever you do, nothing less.
Wish you all the best
seeing my parents now be able to have visual contact on a daily basis with family back home in cambodia is such a blessing. technology has its flaws but it also has its perks. keeping families closer than ever
Great job Kyle. Chokes me up everytime
kyle, long time no see but this is your calling helping families reunite, you're a natural at it. Stay strong and go with the flow..
Thank you Kyle, was so amazing to hear this story in person when I met you in Da Nang too
New subscriber here, I live for stories like this. You’re healing the people of earth, one person at a time.
Not sure if you received the second post//comment but I was trying to say is this video really touched me just the overall passion enthusiasm and the love and joy you bring too many hearts and families and friends it’s just a beautiful thing the passion, you have the ability to creativityand everything that covers under this umbrella God bless you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo forever
dude your honesty just won my heart ....i am subscribing..
Bro, Respect! You are such a courageous and generous man.
Another good work of Kyle! Thanks for keeping us updated with your journey. You're making a difference!
Awe, what a heartwarming story! Thanks for doing what you do! I still remembered one of your first videos where your mom was calling you crazy for traveling to Africa to meet up with a Vietnamese guy or something like that hahaha. I love that you are still doing this and that your channel has grown so much! Cheers from Los Angeles
Always enjoyed your videos Kyle! This one is extra heartwarming and bittersweet. ❤
Tears of joy just will not stop pouring down my face. Amazing. This is nothing short of a miracle considering how long it took. Nearly instant
Bro, we always miss you. The best part of my day is when I come home and you've posted a new video!
Fifty one years is a very long time! Vietnam, especially Saigon has changed a lot, positively. Many don't even recognize it. Nowadays many old Vietnamese people living abroad want to go back to Vietnam for retirement, which helps them connect to the community speaking the same language and sharing the same culture and tradition.
So good to see you again Kyle! All the best with anything you chose is best for you! Seeing real life stories through your lens always brings a smile! :)
Hello Kyle, thanks for doing the work that you do. I'm Vietnamese and I was born in Canada. My dad left Vietnam before the war to study university in Europe but my mom lived through the war and was only able to leave Vietnam after the war ended. After all these years, both of my parents never returned to their home country. For that reason, I would probably never visit Vietnam myself, which is why I really appreciate your Vietnam videos, as well as your reunion videos, because I can experience the country through your lens. I really admire your work, and how fearless and adaptable you seem to be. I hope you find a way to be more financially stable so that you can have more freedom to do what you enjoy. Wishing you success in your future projects.
Thank you deeply Kyle this video has really touched me//to hear you see you to listen from your heart the passion you have for bringing and families together just the overall umbrella that you cover big volume. Thank you Kyle respectfully and truly your friend Leo. God bless you.
I really liked this video already. I just happened to watch your video by youtube algorithm. I hope I can reunite my father with his family like this as it’s been 24 years since he was last back there. Thanks for sharing this video! It was happy for me to see it.
Kyle is awesome. Thank you for coming back.
new here but this has to be the most wholesome guy out here what a genuinely good hearted thing to do for a family.
You are a great guy Kyle. Good luck to you on this journey. You are the only TH-camr I respect who made all the most heartwarming, touching videos.
I've been back to my orphanage in Hoi An, and the ladies that worked there in the 90s recognized me due to some burns i got while there. It truly amazing!
Tbh, as a born Australian with Vietnamese ethnicity. Like any family who survived and escaped a civil war, that includes Nam. I will never go back because I can’t imagine myself being poor and happy like the rest of them.
So you imagine yourself being wealthy and unhappy? I'm sorry I didn't get it.
@@eduantech those were your words, not mine and clearly you know how to read
Think of it this way. Lots of people in the West are lonely and feel they don't have any trust or connection with the people anymore. People are superficial and value materialistic nonsense over human connection and integrity, loyalty. Money cannot buy the latter. People move oun of communities they don't feel they belong in all the time.
People take pay cuts to be closer to families and friends, or to have a better work life balance. People take on lower paying work to not deal with horrible management or co-workers.
Those are factors as to why people can be happy on less.
my parents came to america in the mid 70s. My mom from Saigon, and my dad from Vung Tau. I was able to visit Saigon in 2006, but my dad passed away in 2017 and never got to go back to his hometown. I've always wanted to visit there to earn about his past. Seeing videos like this really help me feel complete. learning more about my country and my people. I wish I had the money to visit. I only had that one chance to visit one time in 2006, almost 20 years ago.
Kyle you never disappoint. Thank you for another gem.
What you do between finding lost contacts and family documentaries is a blessing! And it really seems to be your passion and expertise.
Yes thank you, I do enjoy reuniting families and making documentaries very much.
3:02 big shout out to this lady ❤❤❤❤
I thoroughly enjoy these types of videos....families being reunited is truly beautiful ! A couple of years ago we found my wife's mother that gave her up for adoption 53 years ago. Once we found out her name, we asked our neighbour who had the same last name, he said that's my sister. Bullseye, we found her with the first call.
Had a smile from ear to ear so happy you did this amazing!
Blessing to you and your family
Incredible! Goes to show you what a little drive and tenacity can get you. I know flying there was no small effort, but to think that after that the rest would just fall into place... a miracle! Lovely video, thanks for making this happen and sharing!
Welcome back Kyle. So glad & so very happy to see your video ❤❤❤
i'm over here crying like a baby! it's a really good thing you did! wishing every one the best. 💕
Yes we missed you Kyle - amazing video!
Finally. I missed you Kyle. ❤❤
kyle, you out did yourself with this one. loved it. soo happy for them
Kyle, I love your work. I always end up crying for the reunions you do.. Bless you!
So awesome Kyle I’m glad to see another video uploaded many blessings congratulations much respect to you your friend Leah
This needs more views immediately... You did something beautiful.
love your vietnam vlogs, hopefully more vietnam content coming soon. ive watched all of them already.
What a beautiful story! God bless you Kyle for reuniting loved ones.
Brother, this is amazing. I commend you for all that you did for this family! Can't wait to see the reunion. I promise I won't cry, but I am scheduled to cut onions for a soup I'm making so....
My mom recently told us of her story coming out of Vietnam. The stuff she witnessed, and underwent. Insane. Absolutely worth documenting those stories while people are still around.
A1 job brother!! This is your calling. To reunite families from overseas. Keep doing yo thang! Amen!
Hope you are feeling better dude, its Totally normal when a foreign object scratches our throat or nose or eyes and then when its removed, it still feels like something is there. Its because the tissues get inflamed and swollen after a scratch or irritation, and you can feel that swelling like it was a foreign object, also the nerves can get a bit overexcited and keep signalling for a short time after the object is removed. Hope you felt better soon afterwards
We need to get you more subscribers. We gotta get you up to at least a million. Everyone spread the word.
Bro this is Living. Like genuinely you are are beyond like wow. Brining lost family together i never thought about it but there’s not many deeds that you can do for people that is this beautiful and impactful
It's great that you're hustling, but all those gigs you mentioned aren't stable and indie/circuit filmmaking can even be a money sink on average. What about starting an agency to reunite families? Hire a few employees, and I can see you turning this into something lucrative (if there aren't tons of competing agencies like this already). You seem to be developing a nice reputation with folks seeking out your services, so you'd be skipping one of the hardest parts of starting up a new business. The family docs can naturally be part of the business. Lots of luck!
That’s what private detectives agencies are for
That's what autistic 4chan/redditors are for. Private investigators can find people like that but they have no resources that the avg person on the internet can use. Sometimes they can get credit card info but it's almost always illegal now so they don't do it for cheap at all.@@Insomniac_tv
Give me a name and a birthday and I'll tell you where they are in the states.
I’m just a Philadelphia native all happy and smiling once you met the dude on the bike. He was in shock
best viet content
This reminds me a lot of my dads village in Mexico. A lot of similarities with the town, houses, and landscape. So beautiful. Such a beautiful story. Great job my friend.
