Thai Duy Duc, a man from Lam Dong Province, overcame challenges and found admiration for his compassionate nature while caring for a quadriplegic friend despite being in a wheelchair himself.
His life was marked by difficulties, including losing his father at a young age and later facing a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Initially hopeful for recovery, Duc struggled with depression upon realizing the permanence of his disability and mourned the loss of his active lifestyle.
With the support of his mother, Duc regained hope, engaged with disability associations, and found a new appreciation for life by helping others in similar situations.
In a serendipitous encounter, Duc met Bui Thi Chinh, who found inspiration in his story and eventually fell in love with him despite his physical challenges.
The couple’s bond grew stronger, leading to their marriage in the face of opposition from Chinh’s family.
Overcoming family objections, Duc and Chinh tied the knot in 2017, and their marriage was eventually accepted by Chinh’s family after Duc proved his devotion and ability to bring happiness.
Following three rounds of IVF treatments, the couple welcomed their first daughter, solidifying their family and bringing them even closer.
Chinh’s commitment to monogamy and her love for Duc remained steadfast, emphasizing the enduring happiness their union brought her.
Chinh highlighted the significance of their love and understanding in daily life, emphasizing the value of caring for each other beyond physical intimacy.
Duc expressed his gratitude for Chinh’s acceptance and sacrifices, vowing to work hard to provide for her and alleviate any concerns she may have.
The supportive relationship extends to Chinh’s bond with her mother-in-law, who treats her with love and care, strengthening their familial ties.
Despite their challenges, Duc and Chinh’s devotion to each other and their shared commitment to a fulfilling life continue to inspire joy and hope for the future.
