Taiwan Immigrants' Global News Network】According to The China Post, Vietnamese-Taiwanese Harry Lu (呂晉宇), was born and raised in Vietnam. Due to his father being a Taiwanese businessman, he was able to retain his Taiwanese nationality. Though he spent most of his childhood years in Vietnam, Lu never turned his back on Taiwan and even came to study for three years when he was in junior high school.

When he was playing basketball in Vietnam, he was discovered by talent scouts because of his handsome appearance, and gradually became a popular celebrity in Vietnam.
