Peu apr\u00e8s sa lib\u00e9ration, il a planifi\u00e9 son \u00e9vasion du pays avec son \u00e9pouse. Le couple a eu deux filles qu'ils ont envoy\u00e9es pour rester avec sa belle-m\u00e8re. En novembre 1978, avec l'aide de parents, la famille a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 obtenir un bateau et \u00e0 naviguer sur le M\u00e9kong vers la Tha\u00eflande.<\/p>\n<p>Ils ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 atteindre le rivage tha\u00eflandais o\u00f9 ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 escort\u00e9s vers un centre de d\u00e9tention o\u00f9 ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 emprisonn\u00e9s pour \u00eatre entr\u00e9s ill\u00e9galement dans le pays.

En mai 1979, la famille est arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Ottawa et s'est install\u00e9e dans sa patrie d'adoption. Ici, il a poursuivi ses \u00e9tudes et a ensuite obtenu un emploi dans le domaine des technologies de r\u00e9seautage.
