Journey from a Village School to the Rmit International University Vietnam

The memoir of Nguyen Xuan Thu reveals to us an adamant will and relentless efforts of an orphan from a poor village in Quang Tri. After his parents deceased, he left his hometown, wandering here and there in strange lands, experiencing numerous survival difficulties before becoming one of the founders of RMIT University Vietnam. The readers cannot help feeling touched from the ways life has treated him and vice versa. - Bao Vu, Radio Australia. We can say the memoir is a heartfelt personal account he would like to share with his family, friends and those from both sides who have misunderstood him, as well as an account of the works he has done for his motherland. - Hieu Vu, Perth, Australia.
