This 2012 article from the daily Mail gave a few different reports of possible Chen family's origin.
-
Xuzhou in eastern Chandong province
-
Nanjing, China
-
Hong Kong
4.Viet Nam
Remember, Chinese in Viet Nam are usually middle or upper class, after the fall of Saigon a lot of them left Viet Nam.
"Reports in China say they came originally from the city of Xuzhou in eastern Chandong province, also the home city of Rupert Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng. Others say that the family lived in Nanjing, an industrial town 150 miles west of Shanghai, before leaving to live first in Hong Kong and later in the US.
A source at the Asian-American Civic Association in Boston said it was 'highly likely' the family spent time in a refugee camp, either in Hong Kong or on arrival in the US.
Priscilla's father said he was a refugee who had lived in Vietnam, according to Thai-born Napat
Sriwannavit, who bought the 87-seat Taste of Asia restaurant from him in 2006 and turned it into a noodle bar called Pho & I.
Mr Sriwannavit said: 'Mr Chan was a very good man, very good manners. He said he had been a refugee and had lived in Vietnam. He was Chinese but he told me he lived in Vietnam.' "
