Or if you're not in America, wherever you are.

My parents came here for more financial freedom, both of them came from poor families and then they basically struck it rich here.

My mom came here because the rest of her family were here.

My dad came here because my mom dragged him out of Hong Kong.

because there are more opportunities in America than there was in china at the time.

I guess to escape the poverty of Vietnam

My family were refugees escaping the Vietnam war.

To stay alive because of war...

They didnt like having to be under communism.

Escape the poverty of Vietnam and to provide their children with a higher education so they may live a successful life.

for better future and life.

They had very little choices. It was either to come here or face genocide.
