- When Hanh Tran waded through deep estuary mud towards a waiting boat on a dark night in July 1979, he could not have imagined the ordeal that was about to begin.
He was part of a mass movement of 800,000 people boarding boats of all sizes to flee a country ravaged by years of conflict and instability. They became known as the Vietnamese Boat People.
When the North Vietnamese Army marched into Saigon in April 1975 some were uncertain about what their new rulers had in store, but Hanh was not. His father had left the communist north many years before, and knew what to expect.

The stories of five people who fled persecution in their own countries and found sanctuary in Wales are being told via a virtual reality exhibition in Cardiff. Hanh Tran was one of thousands of Vietnamese people who escaped by boat once Communist forces took over the country. Here is the story of his voyage to safety
I lived under the regime for 8 years then escaped. I was blessed and still am.
Don't forget that hundreds of thousands of south-vietnamese people were sent to "re-education" camps
@Cesar Zavier cool. But there were easier ways to do that
It was not a re-education camp. It was a "refugee camp"... !!!! .... Cos you were trespassing into HK... or whatever it was, under the British rule, at that time.
@@MeiinUKthe reeducation camps were setup by the commies. is it clear to you now?
Very proud of the vietnamese staying strong during these difficult times. Especially dealing with thai pirates would've been freighting.
Big up the great people of Wales, we are all sisters and brothers no matter colour or creed.
Refugees escaping the poverty and tyranny of The Socialist Republic of Vietnam
The country is better now, don't worry
The problem here is people making jokes in the comment section instead of caring.. a different racial background doesn’t make you not human... we need to care for others who have lives.
stray dog7 excuse me.... if your so Christian then you should be giving and loving without judgment to type of person race, religion or possible abuse to kindness! Those who are truly in touch with god know to give and give when they even have nothing! So if your so proud to be Christian then be more Christian and be more kind and giving. wow! your statement just made the christians look terribly selfish and inconsiderate...
“To repent” means to turn around your ways, further meaning to go against the mainstream ways of control, hatred, discriminative judgement, to change and love every being with life, is what god intended and the problem with Christians who claim they’re proud to be Christian... they don’t even know how to show the first bit of kindness to a stranger... that’s the problem with your so called claims.
P.s not everyone is a “lucerifarian” like you fear... and those who control are actually hidden behind your religion if you’d bother to do some knowledgeable digging for yourself. The Christian religion was supported by large banking company’s hundreds of years ago the pre ancestors of the Rothschilds, they control the government and the more common religions like your own, and many many other areas around of the world. They control with bribery and money...
So note average people tend to just have A LOT OF HUMAN DECENCY TO CARE ABOUT OTHER LIVING BEINGS.
And your actually being controlled.
Seriously go enlighten yourself...
Then they need to expect our culture.
Remember people, these people are real refugees, not economic migrants. Don't make yourself look ignorant and heartless by tarring people who genuinely fled from suffering and communism with the same brush
goes the other way to, don't mistake economic migrants for refugees because they take advantage of that
@@joet8862 I know that's the point I'm making, I don't know how you can argue this man is an economic migrant
@roger stubbs he fled a war and genuine tyranny when he was a child, grew up his whole life in the UK and under our culture, why should he have to go back? Are you really basing your argument on the fact he's Asian?
Dan Parsons i know mate i don't believe this particular man is an economic migrant, my issue is with the narrative that the BBC and the rest of the main stream media are perpetuating. By only reporting and spotlighting the genuine refugee cases, they are trying to craft this image that all cases are like this when they absolutely are not. Why do they hardly ever spotlight the large amount of "refugees" that are young and male with no women or children? Why do they hardly ever spotlight the cases of "refugees" claiming they are children when it is blatant they're at least 20? Because it ruins their pro refugee/immigration narrative. You can't take these agenda pushers seriously.
@roger stubbs And that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is how you lose an argument.
I was a baby when my entire family fled northern Vietnam in a boat bound for Hong Kong in 1978. After almost 2 yrs in Hong Kong we boarded a plane for Gatwick and arrived in the winter of 1980. My dad told me he didn't know how to find the toilet at the airport. We moved to the East Midlands and in 1986, we moved to London where I have lived ever since. I am grateful to Britain for accepting us. My mother never wanted to talk about our escape from Vietnam as it was so traumatic. Whenever I asked her if she wanted to go back just for a visit she would always say she would never go back. She lived until 2022 and never returned back to her home country. Thank you to the kind people who introduced my parents to the British way of life back in 1980. Thank you Britain for giving us the chance of a new life.
I believe my father was a Vietnamese boat person but I don’t know much else. If anyone knows more about the history of Vietnamese people in the uk please let me know.
In the jaw of history by Bui Diem can help you have a glimpse of what happened in Vietnam of the last half century. Though it is not perfect by any means, but it’s a start for you
How may I help?
I dont see our bishop giving help food to our own people in the uk after all he could help homeless people use all the churches so they can sleep and be fed but he wont do that for his own in the uk will he arsole
China uses Vietnam communist party to indirectly control of Vietnam . China created the communist party organization in Vietnam . In 1954 after China and Vietnam communist party took over the North of Vietnam ( 1953 - 1957 in China Mao Zedong killed 45 millions of Chinese to rob lands and golds called the great leap forward or revolution , in the meantime , in the North of Vietnam Ho Chi Minh ( note that Vietnam does not have last name Ho , therefore Ho chi Minh is Chinese , he can speak Vietnamese like many Vietnamese leaders of the communist party ) killed 200 thousand of people in the North of Vietnam also to rob lands and golds called the lands Reform “Đấu tố” chiến dịch diệt chủng trong Cải cách ruộng đất ruclips.net/video/Zgf0SJ59o7E/видео.html
( they are tortured cruelly and killed , the Haven Gate jail in the north of Vietnam where people are treated like animals before they are killed by Vietnamese communist party . In 1954 1 million of people migrated to the South of Vietnam by the help of the France . In 1954 Di Cư 1954. Migrate in 1954 ruclips.net/video/OUka2qtleOs/видео.html
The South Vietnam had the freedom like Singapore , South Korea and 'Taiwan now , the North of Vietnam is control by Vietnam communist party ( well trained in China = same policy and very poor ) . In 1968 the Vietnam communist party attacked the South of Vietnam during the New Year eve ( the VC = Vietnamese communist party broke the Peace treaty signed by The South of Vietnam GOV and VC , North Vietnam's "Talk-Fight" Strategy and the 1968 Peace Negotiations with the United States . ) HUẾ MASACRE OF 7,000 CIVILIANS BY COMMUNITISTS ,Mr. Dien and his wife, Twin Cities residents, are survivors of the 1968 Tet Offensive massacre in Huế. For weeks, from 7,000 to 7,800 unarmed mostly male civilians between 12 and 60 were gathered together at schools or public parks and tied up in bundles of 12-15 with phone cords. They were taken on trucks to an open field where huge graves had been dug. The communists soldiers used steel shovel to crack their skulls open then pushed the bundles into the graves. Others were buried alive or chopped up with machetes. ( DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY PROMISES , JUST LOOK AT WHAT COMMUNISTS DO OR DID. ) In 1973 once again VC sign the Paris Treaty again , but VC broke the peace Treaty again and used the China weapons and 100 thousand Chinese soldiers who can speak Vietnamese attacked the South of Vietnam ( there are many people in the South of Vietnam who worked for VC , spies most of them are living in the west of Vietnam ) Being a refugee is not a choice: Carina Hoang at TEDxPerth ruclips.net/video/JwkVk16xecw/видео.html

yeah, so many stupid trolls in here
lmaoooo
Since Vietnam is now a close allied of the US, were any of his family or people like him, able to return home to their native country of Vietnam, and be treated as normal Vietnam citizen again?
1. They were allowed to come back in late 90s, early 2000s. The earliest days were really hard due to complicated "security procedure" from the govrn
2. They are treated as normal Vietnamese who living oversea, for citizenship renewal, I think that depends on individual case, but Vietnam's passport is not really powerful
I don't want to live with the communist. I will not return to Vietnam.
They can return to Vietnam. They are thought of as "rich Americans" and are expected to pay bribes and give cash to people.
"close ally" have you seen the putin visit to vietnam, they treated him like saint here 😂😂😂
For those people, who were Vietnamese Communists sympathizers during Vietnam War, What would they think after the war? Did they have any heart at all?
❤❤❤❤😢😢
what does it mean???
Happened to extended family members of mine. They all made it to the U.S. back in the mid 80’s. Thai pirates raided boats and had raped all the women on board even young girls. The Vietnamese men on board tried to help without falling off the boat but not much luck. These Thai men were typically poor and had hoped people brought gold or other valuables on board. Once they made it to a shore, it was all over as the pirates didn’t want to get caught.
BBC PLEASE HELP KAZAKHSTAN ! WE OUR NEEDS HELP !!!

Huh.

Boat people was US plane !
No comment on those lesbians who got beat up in a Londonistan bus, aye?
one of my grandfathers was a Chinese fisherman from Thailand and amongst these so-called pirates. from his point of view, his family was poor and had to protect his homeland from illegal migrants. the people who were fleeing with all those riches weren't the best people, hence they were wanted by their government for crimes.
The BBC should be REPORTING on the ROBIN TILBROOK CASE stating that BY LAW we have Left the EU on March 29th 2019.
Yee
God, i’m starting to hate bbc news
tại sao ?
why? Because they make good journalism?
@loan thuy . Caused bbc news tell the truth .Fukin dipshit. Making sure your brain functioning properly ?. Girl luckly you are not the one in 39th death in uk container..
@@donachump9391 totally agree with you
Yes, yes, of course it is nice to show your virtue by taking in the genuine refugees of our war torn world, but why is it that nothing is said about the miraculous economic model that will then support everyone??? It is grossly irresponsible not to give that consideration. We all know that already our mental health services for young people are lamentable, and we have growing numbers living in poverty or homeless. That’s before we consider how we are going to pay for the social care needed for our growing elderly population.... somebody somewhere is going to pay the price for sanctuary Britain and you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be the virtue signalling elite.
I think this video told an incomplete story. Why he had to flee from his truly home? Did he scare something?
The Communists were opressive. He kinda explained. They take away your freedom.
The video tell the truth about Vietnamese runaways from ambitious commies Vietnam follower by doctrine communist ussr, china, and some STUPIDILY more .etc ....
If he didn't flee he would be send to re education camps
After the communist take over a lot of people were sent to re education camps, some were taken to prison and starved and tortured, and some peoples land and houses were taken away by the communists.
caution: dave rubin fans in the comments section
Facing Pirates actually seems like pretty cool. Don't forget your swords.
More like AKs
It's not cool, they were brutal people against innocent refugees.
No? It was terrible. They would rob you for all your money and try to hurt innocent people
No, the Thai pirates raped kidnapped and murdered people
Uhhh women were kidnapped and tons of men were beheaded so it was really not cool
phan nuoc
They should have stayed and helped rebuild their glorious country. There is no sense of pride bigger than winning a war and liberating your own country, and being there to see it rebuilt. Long live Vietnam.
That man was not on the winning side. He and many others fled since it was a widespread fear that the communists would torture and send them to "reeducation" camps for supporting the Americans.
How about this: access to Europeans and their countries is not a human right.
gurugeorge who said that lolllll eat my ass most refugees in the middle east are in lebanon, sudan, egypt we took the bulk of them in and we’re not complaining shut up
@@ajsuflena156 👈🏼🤣 Egypt Sudan is not the middle east it's Africa libtard.
DANNY73 culturally it’s Arab and more connected to Egypt (which is also technically in Africa) than the rest of Africa.
Brain washing program for the lambs
nope, these are real refugees
Are you really that uncultured, this actually happened.
It's a true story weather you like it or not.
This is true, I'm Vietnamese who lives in the north
Good go somewhere else not the uk we dont need this boat crap any more uk ukraine are both in each others support in ways above beyond boat peoples need so look else where not the uk
If only the bbc was still a British thing.
