Former Vietnamese refugees share their stories of success and resilience

Overcoming incredible odds, three former Vietnamese refugees who live in San Diego wouldn’t let poverty, a communist regime, or lack of education to stop them from achieving the American dream.
“For the Boat People refugees, we all share very similar stories,” said Jimmy Thai, an author, speaker and philanthropist.
The Vietnamese American business leaders have found success in San Diego at work and at home, but the long road to get there started in Vietnam, where they were all born in poverty amid political turmoil and were desperate to get out.
"I just tried to escape I was captured and sent to prison twice. I witnessed the harbor police shoot and kill my brother right in front of me,” Thai said.
After the Vietnam War, Jimmy Thai was just a teenager when he tried to escape 15 times.

It is terrible that in our society the problem of refugees is still acute. The way out of this global crisis can only be found together by building a Creative Society, in which the value of human life is put in the first place.
The good news is that people have already begun to act, and as a result, they held the International online forum "Global Crisis. We are People. We Want to Live". Look it up on TH-cam.
