2014年，Khanh Nguyen Phu凭借岐阜大学的奖学金来到日本，当时人们对他彬彬有礼，却也只是流露出克制的好奇。
When Khanh Nguyen Phu came to Japan in 2014 with a scholarship to study at Gifu University, he was met with politeness and muted curiosity.
然而，他表示，到了2026年，社会上对外国人的普遍态度，以及某些外国人对日本人的态度，都发生了显著变化，并带上了浓厚的政治色彩。这使一些人开始怀疑自己能否在日本安居乐业。
他说：“我真正思考的是在日本的越南人群体；我们该如何适应这里的生活？我觉得目前有些不对劲，我们必须想办法解决。”
But in 2026, the Vietnamese native says the general attitude toward foreign nationals — and by some foreign nationals toward Japanese — has changed significantly and has become politically charged, causing some to question their futures in Japan.“I’m really thinking about the Vietnamese community in Japan; how can we adapt to life here? I think there is something wrong at the moment, we have to find a way to fix it,” he says.
Nguyen Phu会说英语和日语，已经加入日本国籍，组建了家庭，并受过高等教育。
Nguyen Phu, who speaks English and Japanese, is naturalized, has a family and is highly educated.
他承认，相较于自己较为顺利的日本生活融入经历，许多年轻且没有技能的越南劳工不仅承受着向家里寄钱的压力，还因工资低微而难以抽出时间学习。
He concedes that his experience settling into life in Japan has been smooth compared with the experience of young unskilled Vietnamese workers who arrive with pressures to send money home and struggle to find time to study while earning low wages.
