LAP NGUYEN.
A person passionate about changing the lives of others. From a boy born in a poor rural village in the basin of the Red River Delta, enduring the ups and downs of Vietnamese history, after the historical events of the Vietnam War in 1975.
In that poor village, where the fields stretch and storks fly, the simple and vibrant life of intense childhood transformed the shy boy into someone passionate about learning and traveling all over the world.
The lessons he learned over the years were multiplied. His small dreams about culture, cuisine, and passion for helping others, accompanying those in need, were fulfilled for a better life.
His food and beverage businesses are places of learning and practice for young graduates and those in need. From those humble dreams, he wrote an autobiography about his journey, not just his journey but honest, delicate, and somewhat humorous stories that offer a different perspective on Vietnamese culture, history, and cuisine through his grandmother, simple mother, and resilient father – a Vietnamese veteran. There are also stories about the Vietnam War, a past that still leaves its marks.
Let’s help him find more strength to change the lives of others for a better future!”
