About Me: I'm Kyle Le and these are the places I've been, the people I've met, the foods I've eaten, and the many things that I've seen...Originally from Southern California, I moved to Saigon, Vietnam after university and lived there for many years. Then, I traveled the world finding and documenting stories of Vietnamese people living outside of the homeland. Then I finished my master's at USC and now... well... you're going to have to follow and watch to find out!

The follow up to this video is online now! Sorry it took me so long to edit... but you'll see why: th-cam.com/video/90bYDWhzLZo/w-d-xo.html
You are AMAZING!!! ❤
You need to come to the UK there are a lot of people here from many countries who would love your work. The Diaspora's here would love you for this work. Also get some sponsors for you video's. If you get a short film editor for competitions for small films festivals you would win hands down with these stories. You are truly blessed. Thank you for the work you do.
What a great story and you did a great job editing!
if he didnt went to the hospital, he might not see that granny that guided him at that specific time.
Truly a blessing in disguise
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.
@@AnhH88 damn... meanwhile here in UK the health system is going downhill..
@@Hikari_Sakurai atleast it's free, meanwhile in US : it's hopeless
nah he had it un the bag once he was in the small town with the bridge.. trust me
@@ilikeanime1610 organized crime to say the least
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.
Check back soon if you want to cry some more!!
It’s that chicken bone you swallowed. Was a lucky bone lol, so you found the family so fast.
😁
thats the butterfly effect. if he didn't go to the hospital he may not have meet with the elder lady and may have spent way more time to find them
@@saberruntv GOD DID
I love Vietnam 😭 the best people 🙌
@@spontansoundrecords3681he'll nah he did tf
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.
Man, I would just hope it passed.
@@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.
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.
Wait until you see the next video you can show your parents and they will cry even more
@@kyleledotnet no :(((( we cant handle any more tears haha
@@Huyle18 Im still editing it and trust me, Im crying again and again... It's truly powerful stuff. Hopefully next week itll be up! Thank you!
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!
Congratulation to that family reunion. I myself just got contact to my family about a month ago after 50yrs too.
That is awesome! Let me make a documentary if our schedules align.
May i ask what's the point of reunion after 50 years of no contact
@@user-bg3fb3sc6g 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.
@@user-bg3fb3sc6g to not feel alone on this shitty world?
@user-bg3fb3sc6g in some cultures especially in Asia, family tree is everything. Time can pass but bloodline and connection is quite significant. ❤
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.
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
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.
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..
3 weeks later... are you okay?
@@monky0D0rj tomorrow!
Dude you need to post more videos. Just like the old days with old boy. Good times.
Good times, but unfortunately both of our lives are a lot different now. I would if I could. Thanks for watching!
@@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?
Trust in the lord, and he will direct your path!❤
Who's old boy??
@@happyguy4525 you have to be an OG to know who old boy is
Thank you everyone for watching this video! I will release the full documentary as soon as I can. I am sorry I didn't finish it before my Australia trip, but I hope to finish it soon. Please subscribe with notifications ON to be updated when I release it. The wait will be worth it! and please follow me on IG at KyleLeDotNet to see my Australia experiences - Kyle
ok em, chờ em mãi
My first time watching your video & I've subscribed to support you. Keep going, don't give up! Much love from the UK
I subscribed and hit the bell. I can't miss this one
I watched this and was amazed, and now I found you came to Australia ❤ hope your trip here in Australia was amazing
Hi Kyle. Love, love your content. Do you have a patreon or something similar?
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.
Ride the wave. No one deserve more blessing than you do. Don't forget that.
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
It’s not too late to come back for a visit?
Wow man, what a long way to travel. . It must be so cold in Norway, I'm half Polynesian and aussie, I would freeze in Norway 😅
Du bør dra for å besøke dem😊
🤍🫂
@NguyenAndHoel I myself was born in Rach Gia but know nothing about the place including the relatives I have in and around the town since I moved to live in Australia at the age of 5. In December 2023 was my first time visiting Vietnam and I regret not coming back to visit alot earlier
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.
Hi, Kyle.
I live in Vietnam now, teaching in Lao Cai. Near Sapa! I was watching your videos for many years before I came here. Thanks, man.
wow. that's far!!
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.
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 @@exphion
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
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.
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!
I just found your page. You’re the saving grace to these families. Don’t apologize for anything
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!
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.
Signature Kyle! Another great video of family getting back together. i love these videos!
Kyle is awesome. Thank you for coming back.
Another good work of Kyle! Thanks for keeping us updated with your journey. You're making a difference!
Great job Kyle. Chokes me up everytime
Ur finding family series never disappointed me. Cant wait for the reunion!!!
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.
Kyle you never disappoint. Thank you for another gem.
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
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
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....
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.
You’re a good soul, Kyle.. Very happy your journey is confirming your value to the world. Cheers from 🇨🇦😬❤️
New subscriber here, I live for stories like this. You’re healing the people of earth, one person at a time.
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, Respect! You are such a courageous and generous man.
Thank you Kyle, was so amazing to hear this story in person when I met you in Da Nang too
Bro, we always miss you. The best part of my day is when I come home and you've posted a new video!
So awesome Kyle I’m glad to see another video uploaded many blessings congratulations much respect to you your friend Leah
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..
glad that you are back mate, we missed your vlogs - happy that u got some new opportunities and i'm looking forward to the documentary
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.
What a beautiful story! God bless you Kyle for reuniting loved ones.
Kyle, I love your work. I always end up crying for the reunions you do.. Bless you!
Welcome back Kyle. So glad & so very happy to see your video ❤❤❤
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.
This video just popped up on my feed. It's really beautiful. Nice work on the video and reconnecting these families.
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
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! :)
dude your honesty just won my heart ....i am subscribing..
Yes we missed you Kyle - amazing video!
Thank you for helping anyone you can with reuniting family members, friends.
Detective Kyle, hard at work reuniting families. Welcome back!
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!
Great job in documenting another great video! Everything happens for a reason.
That happened so fast and the happy tears keep coming. Can’t wait for the documentary! Cheers.
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 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.
What an absolute gem of a video. Beautiful
love your vietnam vlogs, hopefully more vietnam content coming soon. ive watched all of them already.
Finally. I missed you Kyle. ❤❤
bro doing gods work. thank you for connecting lost family.

Thank you for making this happen! I really hope that there is somebody or agency doing same as you for Cambodian people who lost their loved ones.
Good to have you back, KyleLeDotNet!
Post it! So happy you’re uploading videos
Vietnam is so beautiful, im so happy you found them. The communities there are amazing! Great job! 😁 I wish you well and hope you are able to do these more and able to support yourself. Doing a job you love is key!
Keep doing you bruv. Your videos are amazing, for us to be part of Vietnam and other people’s stories, we need more of it!
I think what you are doing here is great. Families are important. I hope you hang in there and find a feasible outcome that support your work. Thank 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.
Welcome back Kyle!
Thank you. I never left though... if you followed me on IG!
You are doing a beautiful thing for your people. Your work is life changing. I hope people reach out to make your calling more stable. Good luck on your journey!
Thank you for helping families reunite. May you realize the desires of your good heart.
I am so DOWN supporting your endeavors! You're a star in the BEST way!
You're doing an amazing thing, so don't worry about not doing "enough". What you've already done is more than enough, just keep doing what you love and stay safe out there
That documentary sounds fascinating and heartfelt, I've subbed for an update. Very best wishes to you...I hope you find the path that makes you happy. xxx
What a gift to find family so quickly after so long!!!!!
Always enjoyed your videos Kyle! This one is extra heartwarming and bittersweet. ❤
You are a good guy, I hope you get what is needed. Great video!
Not all heros wear capes. Thank you for your service
Thanks for sharing. I've been watching from Greece for years. ✌🏼🙏🏼❤️
All of your works are incredible Sir!!!!!!!!!!! I think helping people find loved one is you specialty, you do it with love and care!!!!!!! I love watching and also wish you could do more content!! I care so much for your success..............
I love watching your reunion videos. They are so good and I can see you put so much work into them. Love your content and I can't wait for your next video.
Hey Kyle, hopefully you are able to make more videos like these. I think you’re the only TH-cam doing family reunions like these and it shows in your view count for this video compared to others
Looking forward to more
This is so awesome!!!!! Congratulations to Nga and her family 💖💖💖
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
Bro. With these I hope big things will happen for you. Keep doing the work you can.
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.
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
Very surprised (pleasantly) to see your new upload pop up as a recommendation. I've enjoyed your past videos. That video of the lost daughter reuniting with her mother on her deathbed wrecked me. Not sure if anything could top that. Keep up the good investigation work.
