After the fall of Saigon in 1975, he was forced to abandon his family and flee the country, eventually settling in the United States.

Trang and her family boarded a cargo ship in secret in 1979 when she was five years old and headed for Hong Kong. Due to space restrictions, everyone had to travel in close quarters and without enough food or water. At least four people died on the journey, which lasted about eight or nine months. Trang’s mother had to force food down Trang’s throat while she was unconscious to keep her alive after she went for extended periods of time without eating and became ill. At one point, the other passengers mistakenly believed Trang was dead and wanted to throw her body overboard to make room for the other refugees, but her mother stopped them. Trang’s family and father were reunited in the United States in 1980 and settled in Fountain Valley, California.
