I met up with Duong Nem for a few hours after not seeing him for many months. Our reunion in Saigon was very last minute and unplanned too far in advanced. I only found out that he was in town a day or two before he was scheduled to leave and before I was scheduled to fly to another city. We were very fortunate to see each other and I'm glad I got a chance to meet his family. His story is a little bit complicated. After spending time back in Vietnam, he was wanting to go back to Senegal to work again. Even though he was having a hard time when I came, he ultimately decided that life in Africa was better for him now than life in Vietnam. I want to wish his the best of luck in his future endeavors.

I'm feeling very sad watching Duong and learning more of his struggles. I think because he is able to make a living in Senegal and Is able to provide for his family, he's accepted the fact that life is just what it is. No need for enjoyment.. just survival. He feels burdened coming back to Vietnam because he's probably constantly reminded that he has to continue working/living in a foreign land so his family can continue to survive. It's the constant pressure. In Senegal, life is somewhat more simple. Wake up, go to work, sleep and repeat. I hope he'll live comfortably one day in both his physical and spiritual being.

He wont say it in the videos but the reality is that "Vietnamese Man" has only one craft (he explains it in the first video) which is making "fried spring rolls". He knows its much easier for him to sell them over in Senegal because he's basically the only one making them. The situation would be much different in Saigon where they sell them everywhere in the streets.

As a person with senegalese origins who grew up in senegal I disagree. Nems have been around long before Duong ever stepped foot in the country. I've had nems hundreds of times in shops of dakar, but never has it been sold to us by a Vietnamese person, so it is not a job limited to only them. If you watched the first video, you would have noticed that the original recipe of nem has been altered in a manner more suitable to senegalese people's tastebuds. He had to learn how to make them the way the citizens liked it in order to sell them. It could be that his life is easier there for many more factors other than the one you named. When you spend so many years in a place and adapt to their environment, its not that easy to leave it all and go back to old ways of living.

He actually said that - he knows 1 thing and 1 thing only. He's not a businessman; he's a laborer who has generally learned from bad experiences. If he tries to sell in Vietnam, the competition would be too great and he would not be able to provide for his family - that's obvious and he never hid that.

The real issue is that this guy was an unskilled laborer who learned from scratch how to make spring rolls and how to run a small business...but guess what! in Vietnam there are millions of people who make and sell spring rolls for a living...but in Senegal his small business is pretty unusual and have much more potential than in Vietnam...so yes in Senegal he's special, but this is not the kind which will attract pussies!

Most people haves called me "STUPID", but luckily i'm not the one who care much about other people opinion, i came back because i know this is place that i can make my dream come true and be happy. Honestly, i was struggling and it took me 2 years to fit back in to environment. But now i'm so glad with my decision because all of my hard works have paid off. My point is whenever you live the important that you find your own happiness. and i'm sure you only can be happy when you "LIVE A REAL MEANINGFUL LIFE INSTEAD OF..JUST FOR THE SURVIVOR".

This is such a strange story, but the more I think about it the more it does make sense. This guy's entire life has revolved around making spring rolls. In Vietnam I imagine that skill is not so profitable, as spring rolls are so easy to find, but in Senegal he is probably one of only very few people selling them. It's still weird that he chooses to leave his wife and child behind to go live by himself in a country so far away, but if making spring rolls is the only way he knows how to provide for them, and living there is the only way that he can do it, then it is at least somewhat understandable. What an unfortunate circumstance though.

Thank you for sharing Duong story with us all. I absolutely loved his honesty.However, I’m conflicted when it comes to thoughts of his wife.For a man who loves and lives a selfless life his wife appears to be the exact opposite, it seems she want to live a life of forever comfort and it doesn’t matter if her husband has to die to deliver just that! Not to mention that Duong seem to have a pure love for his daughter that his wife use as leverage. I knew instantly when I held her voice the first time on camera it sound short and highly annoyed! Not her exact wording but something similar when she said “why would you say the light worked this morning when it didn’t work” zoom in on her face . It seem that she couldn’t get him back to Senegal any faster of which he boarded a plane back to Senegal the next day. I think Doung has been taken advantage of enough in life, he should be the one at home with his daughter enjoying the remainder of his life. 🤦‍♀️ at his wife!!! You’ll see just how hard life truly is... when Doung is no longer around b/c he worked himself to death. Wives are suppose to be helpmates not a stalemates!

To make it in Vietnam he has to be prepared to compete with well-established businesses and maybe have to pay bribes to open shop. Life in easier in Africa and the air is better for the lungs unless he lives in rural parts of Vietnam where he can't make a living then he can have all the fresh air he wants.His wife is a different story. Hard for her to just pick up and move just to support him.

No sir. He found Senegal to be a good place to live and became attached to it. It was obviously hard at first but he is successful with his business and is living well with the friendly Senegalese. Spring rolls and egg rolls can go a long way.

Great vids, Kyle. I feel bad for him. Choose to live away from home to put food on the table for his family is a HUGE sacrifice anyone could ever make. The only thing I wish it would happen is his wife to make the same sacrifice for him. I sense his bitterness when he mentioned his wife would always stay 2nd place instead of 1st. As a life partner, if you choose to marry them, then grow old with them, do the same sacrifice as they did, and take care each other in sickness and in well. I feel there was only him, who made the sacrifice and its pissed me off 😂😂😂. I understand Africa living standard is not as "great" as the States or the European countries, and if you compare it to the countryside of Vietnam, compare it to some of the "ethnical" groups regions, it is not unbearable. Things get better when you accepted it. He had business going in Africa, thats awesome. Living in Vietnam now, not be able to start any business on your own and got stucked with this "economical" system, if I was him, I would come back to Africa also 😢.

To the young man who made this documentary. I salute you, u've made me very proud. I'm sure that you are younger than I am. I'm a Vietnamese man born in the late 70's in America. Knowing that there are young soldiers like you in generation gives me hope. U represent our people with great honor. Keep up the good word boss.

My theory is that he really misses his African girlfriend. But his guilt and fatherly instinct made him leave Senegal to take care of his family back in Vietnam.

Hey Kyle! I'd really like you to try the 23andMe DNA test! Although your channel has been mainly dedicated to the Vietnamese culture, it would be amazing for us to find out if you are not 100% Vietnamese (or a mixture of another race). Thanks for educating and entertaining us about the Vietnamese people from around the world. Keep up with what you're doing! 👍🏻🙏🏻😍

I love this man's story, he went went thru pure hell in Senegal, I'm really happy to see about everything this wonderful man has accomplished in his life, I really sympathise with him, he reminds of myself when I left my country of origin to come to the USA, I know exactly how he feels about wanting to be in both countries, Senegal and Vietnam, in my case after 40 years of living in the USA I find my self going back and forth between the US and my country of origin, I don't have to travel as far between continents like this Vietnamese man does, so that makes this man truly extraordinary and Special, this guy is my hero! I love this documentary excellent work! Greetings from the USA!

The proverb: "man plans but god determines" (Mưu sự tại nhân, thành sự tại thiên) is ever wrong? We can not determine our futures, at best we can only adapt to its realities. The man follows his fate back to Africa, his wife follows hers to stay in VN, and the daughter is generating her own mysterious path. Perhaps, that's why life is so interesting?
