One of life risking moments in his career was in Binh Long battle in 1972 when he rushed in the administrative office after the enemy had been defeated. The remaining from the basement suddenly emerged and returned fired. And, in those day of such memorable battle, he captured the moment of life and death of a mother and her breastfeeding child. She was left dead bare-chested while the child was seeking for the mother’s breast while others were running for their life in gunfires.
“So many had died and I captured that moment naming it “the last milk drop” aka “war crimes” before submitting for competition on newspapers. Later on, the photograph was honored many other prices,” he retold.
In peacetime and his retirement, he devoted to telecommunication development of the province and established Binh Duong Movie Factory on October 15, 1999.
