In a City - Ho Chi Minh

In her home village with her son on Christmas day.

 

My name is Nguyen Thi Thu Hang. I come from Dong Nai, Long Khanh. I’ve been living in Saigon since 2001.

 

When I came to Saigon, I only knew my cousin, and that I would live in his house for seven years. Three years ago my cousin introduced me to a company, where I started working, cooking meals for the company’s employees. Slowly people began to get to know me, and that’s how I got the first house-cleaning job. Now I work in four places.

 

In a City, Ho Chi Minh, is the second book in a series of short stories about Vietnam, commissioned by the British Council. The first series was shot in Hanoi. 25/12/2010, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
