We used to lived next to Chu Truong Hai who created this song in 1979. I heard him sing this song with his guitar seem like yesterday. Alot of good memories.
I was 12 years old on a boat numbered MT054 (My Tho). I was there from 5/79 to 11/79. Never forgot it all the good and bad. Now in San Jose CA. Wish you all happiness and blessings!!!
I was on the same boat MT054 and I was 10 years old at the time. My family and I stayed for 9 months there and we migrate to Galang 1 for another 6 months. I now live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Wow! I can't believe I've found so many of you here. My whole family if 6 made camp there as well from May to Dec 1979, then transferred to Galang & left for California in Late Feb 1980. We came from Saigon, departed from My Tho on a fishing boat. Don't know the number. Incredible!
By any chance it's My Tho 054? Got robbed three times by Thai pirates, floundered into Malaysia only to get tortured and towed out to sea in a middle of a storm. 333 people, 3 died. Sounds like your story?
@@VietquestUSA My family and I were on MT054, all 22 members of us. (For some reason, I remember were robbed 4 times.) I guess I could be wrong as I was only 10 years old. I was so scared as a kid standing in front a scrawny pirate with a gun pointing at us calling out "DOLLAR, DOLLAR!!". After all the pirate ordeal, I remember seeing a bullet hole at the bow of the boat. My Dad was among those that were tortured by the Malaysian Navy. I remember looking over the side of the boat as they dumped one of the dead body and seeing huge shark swimming along side out boat. I never forget how were worried were when we approach the island on next morning after the towed by the Malaysian Navy, we saw another boat ahead calling out to us in Vietnamese. I remember a lot of people on the boat were thinking OH NO we must be back in Vietnam!!. So glad it was just the refugees on the island who happens to pass by.
My family and I were at Air Raya in 1979, our boat identification MT595, I was very young then, my memory of the boat was a very reliable and powerful with enough food and water for the trip. We were lucky enough with no Thai pirates attack, they tried but we are too powerful for them. When we were on the island, it seem to be very new, if I am not wrong we were the top 5 on the island. It's a hard life with no proper medication or schooling. If any one on the same boat, i would like to exchange story. My name is Eric, I am now living in Sydney, Australia
Wow, my family was suppose to be registered on this boat before we changed our mind to go on MT054 which was a mistake. We were robbed by Thai Pirates 4 times and some of the men on our boat including my Dad was tortured by the Malaysian navy before we were towed to the Air Raya island. Both MT595 and MT054 left Vietnam at the same time. It took MT054 10 days luckily get to island and our boat broke apart the next day after we arrive at the island. I know that MT595 only take 2-3 days to get to the island. It seems like another life time ago....
I was 14 when we departed from Ca Mau, Minh Hai on 4/11/79 on boat MH4518 with the sister boat MH4581, together about 600 people, arrived in Letung on 4/15/79 then transferred to Air Raya 2 weeks later, settled there till 10/79 and tranferred again to Galang for 4 more months before arrived in the US.

Crazy !! I was on Air Raya as well in 1979. The weird thing is that I came about looking for my boat was because HG937 is part of my password and my girlfriend asked for the origin of the password and ended up finding all the people that traveled on the same boat !! :)

My first time to hear this song again after over 30 years. But somehow it doesn't resonate as when I heard Trường Hải sang live on Air Raya camp. Anyway for those who lived on Air Raya, this is a rare footage of the camp: watch?v=Bro_Qxlr5AY, courtesy of Canadian Broadcasting System
