awww it sounded like she was about to cry in some parts but very touching and nice of you and i think that that is super nice of you to do that for your dad and im sure he really appreciate it :)
This reminds me of my dad because he escaped from vietnam too. Course i wasnt born then but i love that story about how my father ran away from vietnam to have a better life. im actually in vietnam now visiting family and living in my dads old home.
@OmgRawrify are you in a world history class yet? Because its not a swastika it is a sign of spiritual enlightenment in Hindu religions, it means luck and well being. While these may seem similar the Swastika is bent at a right angle. Hitler took this sign and changed it to provide a sense of well being and luck for his power, and people. :) btw I'm only in 8th grade :P
If you can wait a few months i may be able to donate maybe 5-10 dollars. i don't have much 90% of my money goes to bills and the rest to skating lessons and gas
All that money to feed superstition? It's sweet that you are trying to fulfill your father's dreams, but maybe you should help him save up that money, or at least donate to a charity? A temple does nothing but collects money by fooling people!
@TheMilkyWayCitizen i just asked because im a FILIPINO. im not being racist... she's talented, and FILIPINOS are... im just trying to connect the dots,,,,
it is a savastika not a swastika. the points travels counter clockwise and is the symbol of the moon. the swastika points travel clockwise and is the symbol for the sun. it's not the religons fault that the nazis used the symbol for power as a power symbol.
@judyphamster its not nazi swastika. Its a symbol in buddhaism but nazis started to use it, they changed it a little bit. So originally its buddha symbol or something like that. Thats what my teachers teached me @ school
Oh girl, you just had to make me cry. What an inspiration. I can so relate to this story since our families escape the war and came to America to fulfill their dreams.
Awesome.. you are a beautiful person inside and out. My father's also a hard working man, though he doesn't talk a lot, I know he is always there. Good luck with the pagoda and give your dad a big pat on the back for me ;)
Hello. I stumbled on your channel today. Thank you for sharing the story of your family and your father. I admire him too. I will definitely go to your site and see what I can do to help. Today is the 4th of July and this reminded me just how much I take for granted being born in the U.S. and having so much handed to me just because I was lucky enough to be born here.
As a first generation Canadian born of parents that both fled from the Vietnam war, this really touched me. I feel lucky and grateful to be living a life away from wargrounds.
2:43 Wow wow wow wait a minute, I was so inspired by this video but then what is up with that Nazi symbol?! Was this just a coincidence? I don't think so! I was going to help your charity by promoting this video but I think this symbol would continue to be unseen by the public.
well in that case please accept my apologies. My sister noticed the symbol and well told me to comment it. I was pretty certain it was the Nazi symbol since I've never encountered a Buddhist symbol and well it just got me so frustrated to see this sign which caused a great impact in the world. Once again, please accept my apologies.
If you wanted to fulfill your Dad's dreams, shouldn't you give him the money whole-heartedly instead of giving the money when you HIT a CERTAIN AMOUNT of views? Just sayin' yaw.
This is such a heartwarming story. Your dad is a very good man. He is a great example of what dads should be like. My dad is just as awesome and I'm really thankful that he's responsible, caring & sacrificing especially since there are a lot of irresponsible fathers these days. I'm going to share this video because there are a lot of dads out there who need good rolemodels like your dad and my dad. :)
All of you pointing out the swastika are extremely ignorant and should at least go research it before jumping to conclusions. Yes, it is famous for the Nazi party, but only the CLOCKWISE or RIGHT-FACING swastika (卐). Swastikas were originally Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism symbols, though Buddhism usually uses the COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (卍) swastika. So please chill.
@lovelife5000 this kind of assumption really showcases ignorance. the swastika is a symbol that has been used throughout several cultures for 3,000 years to mean life, luck, etc. Hitler, only in the past century, REVERSED the symbol and associated with a very different set of beliefs. seriously, read up on things and educate yourself before you assume.
@scrapingskies oh so if somesays its inappropriate - NOTHING . but when i say it should be fixed because other ppl dont kno tht its a life / luck symbol . just incase it would offend THEM , i get - " you should be educated " greattt
i cried, this was beautiful, its dort of like my grandpas story. came from vietnam with a little bitof money but big hopes and dreams. had 8 kids, a big house, a dog. i understand how you feel. happy fathers day to those great dads we have =) and to those who DISLIKED this, you are obviously a turd.
God loves you, and I pray that you and your family will realize that God is the only one and true God who died on the cross for our sins, so that when we repent and ask for his forgiveness and have ever-lasting life.
@Cetreum that is not a swastika of the nazis. the swastika symbol represents many different things in different cultures. if you compare the swastika of the nazis to the one on the grass, the angle is different. the buddhist "swastika" originated approx 2000 years ago and is said to represent good luck or the footprint of buddha. hitler took the swastika symbol and put it on an angle to represent the nazis.
@shortyjdm OH MY THANK YOU! I know someone that carved beautifully a swastika but wasn't on the angle like the nazi one, it was straight and everyone was like YOU'RE A NAZI! Different meanings too it people (:
