Product Information

From the harrowing experiences of their journey across the South China Sea in the aftermath of the Vietnam War to the heartwarming account of their successful restaurant venture in America, the refugee story of Vinh Chung and his family is riveting. In a time where the current topics are immigration and human rights, this first-hand account reminds us to view events and people with a lens of compassion. Just eight months after South Vietnam fell to the communists in 1975 Vinh Chung was born. His family was wealthy, controlling a rice-milling empire worth millions; but within months of the communist takeover, the Chungs lost everything and were reduced to abject poverty. Knowing that their children would have no future under the new government, the Chungs decided to flee the country. In 1979, they joined the legendary "boat people" and sailed into the South China Sea, despite knowing that an estimated two hundred thousand of their countrymen had already perished at the hands of brutal pirates and violent seas. Narrating a multigenerational memoir, Vinh illustrates the compassionate side of humanitarian efforts and the life-changing moments that brought him to America as a child. With a sharp sense of humor he unravels ethnic hostility faced when they arrived in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the challenges and struggles of his family as they strove to achieve the American dream, and how he and his siblings went on to earn master degrees and doctorates from prestigious universities - all because his parents took a leap of faith and held on to the courage of building a new life. Some of stories Vinh shares are: The family's perilous journey through pirate attacks on a lawless sea The grueling life of being in a refugee camp in Malaysia before their rescue by World Vision Their miraculous rescue and a new home in the unlikely town of Fort Smith, Arkansas Vinh's struggles against poverty, discrimination, and a bewildering language barrier His graduation from Harvard Medical School Where the Wind Leads is Vinh's tribute to the courage and sacrifice of his parents, a testimony to his family's faith, and a reminder to people everywhere that the American dream, while still possible, carries with it a greater responsibility.

    True story of Vietnamese family in 70’s and how they coped and survived with all of the wars going on.

    True story of a family in Vietnam in the 70’s. Reading about the culture is very interesting as you read the story! At one point they were very wealthy. The communist government took everything they had. They had to make some big decisions on how to save their family. Very well written. Very captivating and interesting story! It’s a must read!

    Where the winds leads

    Written by a Vietnamese immigrant who came to America when he was very young and whose family assimilated and embraced the American dream. He and his brother become prestigious physicians. Unfortunately not many immigrants are embracing the American spirit but this is a very good story of the hardships endured to come here from Viet Nam after the fall of Saigon. I highly recommend this true story.
