Phu - A Vietnamese tour bus guide explains why we must all learn Chinese and sings an old Chinese love song.
I met Phu on a bus heading from Saigon down to the delta. He works as an English language tour guide. He is also studying Chinese and hopes to become a tour guide for Chinese groups. Vietnam and China fought a border war in 1979. There is still dispute over the ownership of some islands in the South China sea. At the same time, China is also a major trading partner of Vietnam and Chinese tourists visit Vietnam in large numbers. This trend is only going to grow and young people in Vietnam are getting ready with Chinese language skills.
