After a difficult second marriage to a violent man involved in organized crime, Ân’s mother fled with him and his sister when he was just a few months old. They were pursued for years, and Ân was eventually taken back to live with his father. He remained there until age six, when his father was arrested for murder.

Unable to care for him, his mother brought Ân to Mai’s Home, where he could grow up in safety. Ân is a gentle, affectionate boy who enjoys swimming, martial arts, and learning English.
