Thuy herself once did not dare to believe that this love was real. Because, between the two sides, there were barriers in both geographical distance and appearance.

The couple's love story touched many people

Tran Kieu is a heavy industrial welding engineer, living in An Son city, Liaoning province, China. He is handsome, has a stable job with a salary of about 30 million VND/month and a private house in Liaoning province. Meanwhile, Thu Thuy was paralyzed in all four limbs due to an accident at the age of 18. Thuy used to be an active, resourceful girl, the hope of the whole family. After the accident, she had to sit in one place, suffered a mental breakdown, lost all faith in life. It took a long time for Thuy to accept reality. She was determined to live a brilliant life. Thuy practiced online sales, proactively learned Chinese online, to open up business opportunities with Chinese people. She also went on dating apps, made friends with foreigners to improve her communication skills. From here, the girl from Dak Nong fell in love with the Chinese engineer. For 2 months, they chatted online like close friends. The day Tran Kieu expressed her feelings, Thuy panicked. At this time, she shared that she had an accident and became quadriplegic. Thuy originally thought that no man could overcome this barrier, and so did Tran Kieu. However, he was very calm about the news, even boldly revealing his face. Since then, instead of texting, the couple often video called to talk to each other. Every time he returned home, he also connected Thu Thuy to talk to his parents. He introduced Thuy as his long-distance girlfriend. In 2023, Tran Kieu traveled 5,000km to Dak Nong to meet Thuy. He stayed at her house for a week, taking meticulous care of her, surprising everyone. Before leaving, he promised to ask his parents' permission to return to Vietnam after 20 days to marry her. After 2 days of returning home, Tran Kieu and his family video called Thuy's family to discuss the wedding. The most surprised person in this situation was not Thuy but her mother. Thuy's mother never hoped that her daughter would find a man who was willing to accompany and be with her for life. "I myself was not too surprised because during the time he returned to China, we always kept in touch," Thuy said. The day Tran Kieu returned to Vietnam, Thuy and her family went to the airport to pick her up. As soon as he saw Thuy, he ran to hug her. That moment made Thuy believe that she had chosen the right person. This time, Tran Kieu brought all the necessary documents to register for marriage with Thuy. After that, he returned to China for a while, arranged family matters, work, house, and then returned to Dak Nong to live with his wife's family.

The couple held a warm wedding in Dak Nong

Happy with a wonderful husband In August 2023, Thu Thuy and Tran Kieu's wedding was held in a cozy atmosphere in Dak Nong. Tran Kieu's parents could not attend, so they asked an acquaintance in Vietnam to represent them in presenting the ceremony to the bride's family. For the past year, Thuy has lived in the love, care, and meticulous care of her husband. Every morning when she wakes up, Tran Kieu helps Thuy wipe herself, change her clothes, and lift her into a wheelchair to brush her teeth. After that, he cooks breakfast for his wife, then does all the housework such as washing, drying clothes, and cleaning the house. In the afternoon, in the same order, Tran Kieu diligently does each task. In the evening or late at night, whenever Thuy says she is hungry, he immediately gets up to cook for her. "Sometimes, I don't dare believe in reality because for people like me, getting married is a distant dream. However, looking at his sincerity, I have to believe whether I want to believe it or not," Thuy shared. The girl from Dak Nong has always been self-conscious about the keloid scars on her body left by a surgery in the past. Thuy used to be afraid that one day Tran Kieu would leave her when her health was not good. “He always knows how to reassure me. He often kisses the scar and says everything about me is beautiful. He also jokes that the scar is a worm, a snake, so there is no need to worry. He often comforts me, helping me face the negative things calmly,” Thuy confided. The relationship between Tran Kieu and his parents-in-law is also very good. He knows how to care and take care of them, making everyone feel the warmth. Thuy's parents, because they feel sorry for Tran Kieu who came to Vietnam to live with his wife alone, with cultural and language differences, always try to communicate with him through actions. “I myself am also lucky to be loved by my parents-in-law. My parents and I talk to each other every day via the Wechat application. My parents always encourage us to live well together,” Thuy Ke said. Currently, Thuy and her husband run an online business selling Central Highlands specialties. Both of them aim to earn money to have the conditions to go to China to visit Tran Kieu's hometown.
