His father was a city official of Hai Duong. When Hai was 7, his father transferred to Nam Dinh, a large city unlike Hai Duong, and the family followed. Tragically, in 1948, Hai's passed away in a war accident. Hai was the favorite child because after a series of miscarriages, he became the first child. At Nam Dinh, Hai's mother successfully gave birth to 5 younger siblings, and Hai got his Tu Tai 1 before going to Ha Nam. Hai says that he looks up to his mother and views her as a very courageous woman; after the series of miscarriages and the death of Hai's father, she was very depressed. However, she was able to carry on with her life and care for her children. In 1950, Hai's family moved to Hanoi. Here, Hai was imprisoned for 2 months for attempting to smuggle persons into the city. When Vietnam was divided in 1954, Hai's family was in Hanoi. He did not have the opportunity to continue his education because the family was so poor. Instead, he worked to provide for his family. In 1953, he enlisted in the military, and a year later, his family fled into the South. Before entering the military, Hai married; he and his wife also fled into the South by plane in 1954, the same year his son was born. Hai's wife was a nurse at Hai Phong; after giving birth, she transferred to Hue for one year, then to Saigon where she lived until 1975. Hai and his wife together had 5 children--2 songs and 3 daughters. Hai's oldest son later drowned in an attempt to vuot bien. Hai reached the title of Lieutenant Colonel in the army. From 1963 to 1975, Hai was also involved in the "Tieng Noi Tu Do" radio station in Saigon. In his opinion, he preferred the "De Nhat Cong Hoa," the reign of Presdient Ngo Dinh Diem. He says that the atmosphere and culture during that time was easy-going, peaceful, and Diem was generous and genuinely cared about the people. In 1975, Hai was imprisoned in a Viet Cong "trai cai tao" prison camp for 10 years, and was not released until 1985. During this time, Hai was transferred to many different prison camps throughout the South and North. He recalls life in prison as difficult; it was emotionally, mentally, and physically draining. There was never enough food and the forced labor was grueling. In 1990, the U.S. created a program that allowed those who were in priosn for more than 3 years to flee Vietnam. Hai was included in this group, and fled the country through H.O. 4 by plane to San Francisco, California. In 1995, Hai moved to Houston, Texas to be closer to his son who has an engineering job there and his sister who lives in Houston. Hai has remained there since. As a devout Catholic, Hai today is involved in regligious affairs, as well as in other organizations and issues in the community. He serve as the head of the Senior Council in Southeast Houston
The emerging legal framework for private sector development in Viet Nam's transitional economy
Get PDFA major objective of Viet Nam's transition to a market economy has been to reactivate the private sector in a mixed economy. Several new laws have been introduced in the past five years to implement this policy and to create an enabling environment for the private sector. The author reviews some of the more important laws and regulations that affect Viet Nam's private sector activities, including laws on real property, intellectual property, companies, domestic investment, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contracts, and dispute resolution. Anti-monopoly law has not yet been introduced in Viet Nam. The issue of competition is addressed in the context of trade law, the relative roles of the state and private sector, and restrictions in company law. These areas all establish the foundation of a legal framework for a market economy. The author concludes that Viet Nam's legal framework, like China's, is still influenced by ideology, which causes problems in such areas as private ownership of real property and with such fundamental legal concepts as"due process of law."It is noted that the private sector is constrained by the lack of an independent judiciary, the absence of private land ownership, other uncertainties in property law that limit the develpoment of financial markets, and the inherent bias of the system in favor of the state sector (and collective ownership). Also noted is a law-abiding attitude, equally important to development has been slow to develop. The author goes on to point out that the foreign investment process is too complicated, and its company law too restrictive. A first priority should be to strreamline regulations, as well as liberalize trade policy and increase efforts in privatization of state enterprises. In this respect the author notes that export processing zones may be a useful interim instrument to attract foreign investment but should be phased out over time. More important in the long term is a good investment climate resting on a strong legal foundation.Legal Products,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Municipal Financial Management

Huynh Cong Tu and female relative video oral history and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation and donated to the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes video recordings of interviews with Vietnamese Americans native to or living in Texas. This interview forms part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation.Huỳnh Công Tử was born on September 27, 1960 at Cần Thơ, Vietnam. He is the 3rd oldest out of 7 children in his family. His favorite memory of his childhood is the annual celebration on May 18, the anniversary of the day the "Phat Giao Hoa Hao" religion was created. Tu's father was in the army for 16 years; after 1975, he was put into prison camp (tù cải tảo) for 2 years. Tu attended school in Can Tho up to grade 6. On April 30, 1975, he remembers Can Tho being very chaotic with people running, screaming, and trying to flee the city. He was 15 years old, and remembers seeing only 5-6 Viet Cong officers present in the city and not understanding how South Vietnam could have lost the war. When Tu's father was imprisoned, the family was struggling to make ends meet. Tu and his siblings had to work to help; Tu had to work the hardest because he was the most quick-thinking out of his siblings. After 1975, the family desperately wanted to vuot bien but did not have the money to do so. On May 8, 1978, Tu boarded a small boat of a family friend to vuot bien; he arrived in Malaysia after 3 days at sea. He remained in Malaysia for 9 1/2 months before seeking refuge in the United States through the USCC organization. He arrived in Atlanta, Georgia in early 1979. He felt very fortunate to have made it to America because out of 10 boats that departed from Can Tho at the same port that day, only 3 to 4 boats made it to land. Tu states that he fled Vietnam because there was no freedom, no democracy, and no human rights; the communist government did not care for the people. He believed that even if US forces had remained in Vietnam, it would not have successfully brought the country together. Tu asserts that there are Vietnamese people living in Vietnam did not and do not know the true nature of Viet Cong, then how would Americans understand? Tu worked for a year to provide money for family back in Vietnam before he attended high school. Today, he has a career in fishing and crabbing. In 1994, his family was reunited in Houston, Texas. Tu's wife was previously an owner of a nail salon but is now a stay-at-home mom. Together, they have 5 daughters and 1 son; their oldest daughter now has her own family. Tu's mother lives with him and his family, while his father travels back and forth from Vietnam to the United States due to business. Today, Tu often volunteers at local elections and supports Vietnamese political candidates when they run. He is extremely proud to be Vietnamese and feels extremely fortunate and proud to be a citizen of the United States. He hopes to one day see Vietnam have democracy and freedom of speech before he dies
