Báo Thanh niên•02/12/2024
Despite the big age and height difference, Tran Thi Phuong Linh (25 years old, from Binh Duong province) and Abe Kazuma (42 years old, Japanese) still created a beautiful love story, they held a wedding in Binh Duong province. Linh and Kazuma are living and working in Tokyo, Japan.
Age does not matter
After graduating from high school, Linh went to Japan to study at Reitaku University in 2018. During the summer vacation in 2022, to improve her Japanese and gain experience, Linh applied for a part-time job at a testing center where Kazuma worked.

“The first time we met, Kazuma's cold appearance and somewhat fierce way of speaking made me feel scared. But after a few conversations, I realized he was very interesting and humorous. At first, I thought he was only 30 years old,” Linh said. After a short time of meeting at work and a few private dates, Kazuma confessed his love to Linh via text message. After 2 years of dating, their feelings grew closer. Kazuma was always gentle, tolerant and willing to learn to cook to make Linh happy. Kazuma also learned Vietnamese to communicate with Linh. “After a year of knowing each other, once I had a high fever, he always asked about my condition. The next morning, he took a 2-hour train ride from Tokyo to Chiba City (where Linh was staying - PV) to buy porridge and medicine, which made me very touched,” Linh said. It was his maturity, thoughtfulness and humor that made Linh fall in love with Kazuma. In addition to the age difference, the couple also attracts attention for their height, Kazuma is 1.93 m tall and Linh is only 1.46 m. "When I'm with him, I feel safe and protected," Linh said.

Linh and Kazuma's relationship has always received warm support from both families. The first time she met them, Linh felt the love from Kazuma's parents. Linh's family was also reassured because they saw that Kazuma was a gentle and funny person. "Linh is a cute and humorous girl. We get along very well," said Kazuma.
Japanese groom comes to Vietnam to marry his wife
During the Lunar New Year 2024, Linh took Kazuma to visit his family in Binh Duong province. At that time, Linh and Kazuma had no intention of getting married. However, Linh's father asked Kazuma when they would get married, and he answered that it would be November 22 this year. "November 22 is considered an auspicious day and has a special meaning for couples. In Japan, many people choose this day to register their marriage," Kazuma shared. Linh was very surprised by Kazuma's answer because the two had never talked about getting married before. When he came to Vietnam, Kazuma quickly integrated into the local culture and food. "I really like eating vermicelli with crab and rice paper rolls with meat," Kazuma said. Linh said that Kazuma is an upright and straightforward man, but not too romantic. In March 2024, Kazuma suddenly took Linh to a jewelry store to buy both an engagement ring and a wedding ring. Linh was quite surprised at that time, but still agreed to choose the ring.

“Before that, he texted me every day asking: will you marry me? I thought he was joking so I said I had to propose first. Who would have thought he would take me to buy a wedding ring and an engagement ring at the same time,” Linh said. As promised to Linh’s father, Kazuma wanted to hold the wedding on November 22, but for some objective reasons, it was changed to November 24. The wedding was held according to Vietnamese rituals, but the couple still wore traditional Japanese wedding costumes. Kazuma’s father and siblings came to Vietnam to attend the wedding and congratulate the couple. Linh said that although Kazuma is 17 years older, the love between the two is not hindered by age: “I feel his sincerity and deep love. We are in harmony in our souls and understand each other.” Kazuma said: “When in love, as long as our hearts are in harmony, everything becomes perfect.”
