They used to have good and work-hard authors, but now the old authors no longer stayed and continued their life. I'm really sorry that you have to experience this. I'm a Vietnamese but i feel embarrased and ashamed of what 'it' has done to you. <br />I wish you all the best and hope 'it' will give a proper apoplogy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940448351210206939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176594021472400446.post-15550323338815411122015-10-27T01:12:46.486+08:002015-10-27T01:12:46.486+08:00You could contact the embassy of Vietnam and ask f...You could contact the embassy of Vietnam and ask for help.

Muc Tim is a big magazine in Vietnam for teenagers and they should act more professionally. I don't like the way they treat you. Please sue them! You have evidence! We're all known that you have too many other things to do, but you need to pay your time and attention on this case. Sue them!

Your good name has been taken lightly because they haven't considered you a threat, or not even heard your name. Yet. You need to understand, this press is a subsidiary of the communist government and is very well connected from high way up, so infighting maybe indeed useless. it's like throwing eggs at a large stone. I don't advise you to give up, but to change your approach. Maybe a comic series about this incident and have it gone viral? Every country likes to see its flags featured in every corners of the 'world', you know what I mean ;)<br /><br />You could always use an "artist mark" hidden in the details of every piece of art you make that only you can do and understand. I'm sure you already knew that, but it's maybe the only way should all else fails.<br /><br />You are not alone in this quest for justice, many have tried and failed. It'll be interesting to see if you succeed.

But I hope you can take my word for it that it is a waste of time to do so in Vietnam. It is mind boggling how deep the roots of corruption are entrenched in there. It is part of their culture, openly practiced. As for your pro bono lawyer, good on him. But don't be surprised that when he moves your case forward, there will come a time when he receives threats. It is simply how they operate.
