His immigration to the United States following on his father’s advice and contacts made during World War II in the Burma-India-China Theater.
His struggles and survival in Socialist Burma and in the USA as an immigrant during the 1970s as well as triumph over several life-threatening conditions formed the abyss of his life, also the basis of his book REBORN: Journeys from the Abyss (Tate Publishers).
