Nguyễn Ngọc Ngạn (born March 9, 1945) is a Vietnamese-Canadian writer and essayist. He was born in Sơn Tây, Vietnam, but his family moved to South Vietnam when the Geneva Accords divided Vietnam in 1954. After university and service in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, Ngạn was imprisoned by the victorious communists after the fall of Saigon in 1975 and did forced labour in a re-education camp until 1978, an experience described in his autobiography, ''The Will Of Heaven''.〔Huu Khoa Le, ''Littérature vietnamienne: la part d'exil'', p. 39 (Groupe de recherche sur l'Extrême-Orient contemporain, 1995); ISBN 2-85399-361-2〕 After his release, Ngạn escaped by boat to Malaysia in 1979; during the closing stages of the journey, storms hit the boat and knocked it over within sight of land. Ngạn's wife and child drowned and he was pulled unconscious from the water. He was sponsored by the Canadian government and brought to Vancouver in 1980, moving to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and in 1985 to Toronto.〔Yale University, Southeast Asia Studies, ''The Vietnam Forum'' (1985).〕 Ngạn is known for co-hosting Thuy Nga's'' Paris By Night'' with Vietnamese personality Kỳ Duyên. He co-authored ''Ballad Of Mulan'' and ''The Blind Man and the Cripple - Orchard Village''. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nguyễn Ngọc Ngạn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
