N2 - Over three decades have passed since the first Vietnamese refugees left their homelands. These refugees fled from war and strife in search of a better life elsewhere. The first wave left immediately after Saigon fell to the communists. The second wave occurred after the two Asian communist regimes, Vietnam and China fell out with each other, and the subsequent anti-Chinese atmosphere in Vietnam in the late 1970s. An estimated 70 per cent of these refugees were Chinese-Vietnamese. Unlike the first two exoduses which have been well documented, the third wave of mainly ethnic Vietnamese refugees who fled to Hong Kong and other parts of Asia between 1988 to 1991, has been somewhat neglected.
