IB MYP & DP Korean A L&L teacher of RGSV in Hanoi, Vietnam.

If someone had told me 20 years ago, 'You will marry a Chinese woman, teaching Korean literature at an international school in Hanoi and share Grab with a French every day', I would have answered very simply.


"Lunatic!"


But that's how I'm living now. The future is unknown.


My life before the age of 38 was very difficult. Things happened every day that were bad for me by accident, and I couldn't make as much money as I worked. I drew cartoons, designed websites, wrote novels, and edited videos, but I wasn't satisfied with either job.


And I met my wife one day in 2008. I felt that moment would be the turning point of my life, and that she was the last chance God gave me. And a few months later, with my wife's introduction, I became a Korean A teacher at an IB International School in China.


It's as if God has painted the first half of my life only black and the second half only white. I don't like this scenario. Next time, I hope God will prepare a scenario that properly mixes black and white.


In 2008, I became a husband and became an IB teacher. She became my gift, and I became her gift. And I reconciled with God.
