What does it mean to return to the country your family once fled? To walk the same streets, speak a familiar language in a new voice, and search for belonging in a place both foreign and deeply yours? In this episode, producer Kavi Vu shares her life-changing decision to move from the U.S. back to Vietnam—a journey that reshapes her understanding of what it means to be Việt Kiều. Alongside John Vu and Chris Tran—who also returned after growing up in North America—they reflect on the evolving meaning of Việt Kiều and the emotional complexity of reconnecting with a homeland shaped by memory, distance, and love.
