Musical Story Blog (48) - My Story: Dao's Story

It was a winter day in 1981, Dao stood at the Boston Airport and felt completely lost - no one came to greet or pick him. The guy who pick him at the airport was late and Dao just waited, waited, and waited.... April 30, 1975 marked the fall of Saigon - the city of the south captured by North Vietnamese forces leaving chaos across the south and scattering thousands people on the sea who tried to escape hatred and revenge from the Communists just because they are the south people - the citizens of the The Republic of Vietnam. Dao, a young Vietnamese refugee just arrived to Boston from a refugee camp. Standing alone at the Boston Airport, he left his country with a sorrow past behind but saw no any brighter in the future.
