Having lived several years under the poor economic conditions and under the restricted ruling of the communist regime, she tried to get out of Vietnam, and finally in 1981, she was admitted into the United Stated through the humanitarian assistance of the United Nations' political program ODP for family reunions and for refugee settlings. In 1985, Hongvan graduated from a two-year college with an AA degree in computer studies, and in 2006, a BA degree in English Literature major and a philosophy minor. Before publishing her own books, her poems were seen in the anthologies published by Noble House, International library of Poetry, Poetryfest Press and Famous Poets.
