Thanks to a DNA test, Hang was finally able to find her Dad after 45 years of searching. She doesn't speak much English and did not want to talk on camera, but you could see on her face just how happy she was to finally say hello. Mackenzie said, "I didn't know whether I was going to cry or not, but other than that I guess that's okay. It's a happy occasion."
