Synopsis
This book was a Finalist in the 2025 American Writing Awards.
Author Hien Quy Minh Nguyen was born and raised in Hanoi during the Vietnam War. In 1972, B-52 planes carpet-bombed Hanoi; she was 8 years old, witnessed houses in Hanoi being destroyed, the wall of the French Consulate building in Hanoi being broken by B-52 bombs when the US and Vietnam diplomatic delegations were meeting in Paris to negotiate a peace agreement. This bombed place was only half a mile from the prison where John McCain & other American pilots were being held. During the evacuations to avoid the bombs, she lost all toys and books. Her father, an educator, taught her English as a game and told that English is a peaceful international language. In the 1990s, she spent some years researching in Ukraine and Russia for her Ph.D. of telecoms; during which time, she witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union. She participated Vietnamese & international telecoms projects. She received an EB-1A visa for extraordinary ability and then became a US citizen.
Hien Quy Minh Nguyen traveled to thirty countries, wrote and published books about her experiences in these countries. The trips have given her different views on life. The World has become a Global Village by broadband internet, by social networks, by modern technologies. However, the gap between rich and poor is increasing and becoming more dangerous.
