Unfortunately, Vietnam will remain a third world slum country for generations to come. That’s because of the slum and corrupt culture running deep in the Vietnamese blood.

You can search for a small KZfaq channel called nhau voi cac cau, where tuy and blacka hosted a vn talk show. Tuy is also launching his own channel called 2e travels! Check it out. I wrote a whole story on Tuys life for the BBC, but you need a vpn to open it

It truly is because most couldn't do that, even though it's cheap there, it's very expensive to leave your life behind and take on the expenses that would be added with the family

I have a VN friend in Melbourne, he cam to Australia as a 'boat person refugee with his parents. His grandparents were too slow to get on the boat and were left on the dock. After 20 years my friend was so excited, he had just spoken to his now very old granmother. He went immediately to Autralian Immigration in Melbourne, they quickly said he could immediately sponsor his grandmother to enter and stay in Australia, if she passed a health check which she did. My fiend then started a search to build his knowledg regarding the pitfalls and difficulties of his grandmother living in AUstralia. He did that very well. He went to Saigon and met more of his elderly family ans some who were his own age. Long-term it all worked out very happily.

This was really kind and thoughtful of you to reach out and help her. I was a Vietnamese war orphan, adopted to Australia. Like Tuy I'm one of the rare and lucky few to find my VN birth mum. I found her in 2007. I'm v grateful I found her and can help her, and I'm lucky I get to know her and love her. I continue to search for info on my American birth dad. I've done Ancestry etc. I had a v high match with poss a 1st cousin in America. Unfortunately she doesn't know her birth dad either so we hit a dead end. I do get that a surprise match with a Vietnamese person cd be odd and a bit alarming to an American. So I think it's great that you were prepared to help such a distant cousin match where others might be more wary or just want to leave it alone. There are some DNA projects these days trying to distribute DNA kits to Vietnamese mums to help them reunite with their children they often had to give up as "orphans." Idk if yr distant cousin was in this scenario. Operation Reunite in America, run by a VN war orphan who found her mum runs these sorts of programs, or is trying to. You cd try contacting her org, if she can't help yr cousin somewhere similar might be able to help. The biggest prob is that most VN women of our parents generation at least, can't afford DNA testing like we might. So the chance if matches can be less. Thanks for helping her❤

We will be shooting a follow up video that will also cover his American family, plus the war point of view from those who cared from him as a child. We will also be going to the Philippines to cover his father's side of the story.

@@LouisCorallo85 Thank you in advance. Best wishes & looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic work! 🙌👏

@@LouisCorallo85 Thanks for the documentary. I am looking forward to seeing your followup series.

gramps ever express gūīIt abt ñām ?

He did! 6months to the day of finding his vn mom. You can search the bbc+ tuy Gentry buckner to see a long article all about tuys full life

There are no lies told. He eventually found his family when he believed they may have been dead.

@Frank Castle NO the Vietnamese communists is the cause of this. They signed the Paris Peace treaty in 1973 but didn’t keep their end of the bargain. You should look into it.

@LilylovesItaly Sure. So, of all countries in the world, America had no choice but to intervene? Who are they to decide the fate of a country in another continent? What was the outcome? Millions of deaths, including innocent Americn soldiers. Up to today, hundreds of innocent people have their legs still blown up by mines EVERY YEAR from the Vietnam War. The problem is not communism. The problem is America.

@LilylovesItaly Paris peace treaty? America has no respect for peace treaties. The latest example is Ukraine. Minks agreement. You should look into it.

​​@@lilylovesitaly3932 Why was the US in there first place?

@LilylovesItaly The US had no business there. They were there because they were backing up the French to exploit/ colonize the Vietnamese people. You should look into that! Stop buying into CIA propaganda! French and US had no right occupying Vietnam period!!!!!

That's the plan.

Tuy may have a mix of heritage, as many of us do. I was a Vietnamese war orphan when I found my birth mum it turned out she is half Filipina. My birth dad is American. My DNA is Irish, Scottish and Welsh as much as Filipino, Chinese and Vietnamese. I imagine Tuy knows his heritage best.
