On the morning of January 4, at the Lam Dong Province Youth Activity Center, Le Duong The Hanh (44 years old) launched the book Green Journey . This is the 7th book by the blind female author to be released.
Ms. Tran Diep My Dung, Deputy Secretary of Lam Dong Provincial Youth Union, shares her feelings about The Hanh's new book.
The exchange and book launch were attended by Ms. Tran Diep My Dung, Deputy Secretary of Lam Dong Provincial Youth Union, Mr. Vu Xuan Truong, Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial Blind Association, leaders of Lam Dong Provincial Library, Director of Lam Dong Provincial Youth Activity Center. In addition, there were teachers who taught the "brown rice beauty" during her childhood at Lam Son Secondary School (Da Lat) and many students.
As Thanh Nien reported, in 2015, Le Duong The Hanh released her first book - the novel There is a sun that never sets . This is The Hanh's autobiography about her own journey - a person who lived in the light for 27 years of her life but could no longer see the sun because of a brain tumor (in 2007). At that time, The Hanh was a beautiful young woman, working as a Japanese interpreter, assistant to a Japanese director, preparing to go to the land of the rising sun for training. Besides, she also had a romantic relationship that was about to accompany her to continue her life...
The Hanh's former teachers could not hold back their tears when they heard The Hanh share about the process of overcoming difficulties to complete the 7th book - Green Journey.
Everything seemed to collapse. There were times when The Hanh wanted to end her life, but with the determination and love that everyone gave her, The Hanh overcame it. Despite her deformed face, blindness in both eyes, paralyzed limbs, convulsions, and unclear pronunciation, The Hanh practiced every day so that her hands could move. Hanh learned braille (a form of Braille for the blind) and learned Braille computer with teacher Vu Xuan Truong. In addition, with the encouragement and guidance of teacher Nguyen Quoc Phong (Thien An Shelter in Ho Chi Minh City), The Hanh found joy in life again.
In 2013, The Hanh participated in the writing contest "Extraordinary Willpower" organized by Thanh Nien Newspaper and won two prizes at the same time. Second prize for the work "Old Days" and a special consolation prize for the article "Really, why are you blind ?"
Then, in May 2014, The Hanh became one of 27 faces honored at the Shining Vietnamese Willpower Gala with Nick Vujicic (an armless man from Australia), at My Dinh National Stadium (Hanoi).
A large number of readers and students attended the exchange and launch of the book Green Journey.
Since then, The Hanh has always lived optimistically and spread that extraordinary willpower with many projects to help people in similar situations learn English and Japanese, and established the volunteer group Sac Mau Hope to help people with disabilities and unfortunate circumstances.
Not only that, The Hanh also made extraordinary efforts to overcome difficulties and continue to introduce to readers 6 other books such as: Peace after the storm, Mission of flowers, Silently taking guests across the river , Happiness within reach , Love station , and the English book The sun of love .
Mr. Vu Xuan Truong, Chairman of the Association for the Blind of Lam Dong province, recounted the process of helping The Hanh learn Braille and the determination to live happily in the dark.
Le Duong The Hanh writes not only to express her soul but also to spread the energy of love to people in the same situation and to those who are "sighted". Each book spreads the joy of life and conveys humane messages.
The Hanh considers herself a bridge between light and darkness. "I have lived in the light for 27 years and have felt the good things that nature and people have given me, and for the past 17 years, although I have lived in the darkness, I have received a lot of love from everyone. That is the motivation that helps me overcome adversity and always smile, even though my mouth is crooked," The Hanh confided.

Throughout the book, you will learn how to proactively renew your thinking to suit the operation of the universe. Therefore, let's look at the bright things to welcome life."
At the end of the exchange, The Hanh sent heartfelt gratitude to the hands that have supported her on the challenging path of life over the past 17 years and made a touching commitment: "I will complete the Green Journey until my last breath."
