Even he was often bullied and teased.

Not stopping there, 8 years after being adopted, with the program "Blood children returning to America", his adoptive mother sold him to a Chinese family in Hoi An for 3 gold trees. According to Randy, because he wanted to immigrate to the US, his family let him study and have a better life; but they "turned around" after 3 years of waiting without seeing any progress.

At that time, the male singer was forced to quit school to make soy sauce, and at night, he slept temporarily on his father's shabby chair, dreaming of one day being with his biological mother.

Meet and lead by veteran artists such as the late musician Thu Ho, musician My Huyen and singer Anh Tuan, Randy is increasingly loved by the audience and made a name for himself with the song "It".

While going to the show in Australia, Randy had just arrived at the hotel when someone knocked on the door and handed over 1000 hand.s. The CD is already 4000 dollars. One month when I record and go on shows, I should earn 15-20 thousand dollars. But I was in a lot of poverty so I spent a lot at that time, if I know how to save, I can Maybe now I'm a real estate giant," - the male singer humorously revealed.

When she was able to take control of her life, singer Randy began her journey to find her mother, even though she had held her feelings for many years. But because he was in the orphanage since childhood and there was no clue about his mother, even in 2010, the male singer knew his real name and date of birth after 39 years of existence in the world. He searched all over Vietnam, tried DNA testing with many mothers who lost their children, but it was useless. Many times holding hope and then receiving overwhelming disappointment, the desire to find a mother in him is no longer as burning as before.

After many years of searching, Randy thought maybe his mother had gone to the other world. Partly because Randy is nearly 60 years old, my mother is also close to the earth and far from heaven, partly because I had a dream about a leopard, but even so, I still want to find my roots. I know you're dead. Now let's just do our duty."
