In 1945 Hung moved from China to Vietnam with his parents and siblings due to the civil war in China.  He was married to Tai Che in 1951 in Vietnam and where they had nine children – 4 daughters and 5 sons. Along with his wife, Tai Che and their children, they built a successful farm operation over the three decades.  In 1978 Hung and his family fled Vietnam, among the many who faced prosecution by the newly established Vietnam Communist Government as the newly established Vietnam Communist government started to confiscate Chinese owned property and businesses after 1975, back to their home province in China. Hung and his family continued to farm in China.
