Before drifting through many places, Thong’s family lived in the Ho Bo area (former Cu Chi district, HCMC). Before 1975, Lai Huu Ngan (Thong's father, deceased) moved the family to the city center. As for me, after being in Bao Loc for half a month, I also left home after a beating." He only remembered that when they went to Bao Loc, their house was near a large church. In Tay Ninh, after a time of failing to find his biological family, Thong wrote a letter asking the TV program "Nhu Chua He Co Cuoc Chia Ly” (As If There Were No Separation") for support.
