From a young age, Nguyen Phuc Duc faced a significant turning point in his life when he lost his right arm in an unexpected accident when he was in sixth grade. This incident left not only left him in physical pain but also caused great emotional trauma. Once an active boy, Phuc Duc became withdrawn and insecure. Through his uncle's narration, viewers will get a glimpse of those days filled with self-doubt that Phuc Duc endured.
After losing part of his right arm, Phuc Duc had to relearn how to write with his remaining arm. Through extraordinary effort, he mastered various skills with his left hand and continued his educational journey.
After years of searching for suitable opportunities, and attending various schools that did not accommodate his physical limitations, Duc decided in 2021 to apply to the Faculty of Tourism at the University of Science, Thai Nguyen University. This decision became a turning point in his life. From a shy boy who avoided social interactions, Duc discovered his inner strength by participating in volunteer activities at his school and in the community. These activities not only helped him become more open but also taught him the value of sharing and helping others.
On the program, Phuc Duc shared a unique hobby he jokingly calls an "addiction" to donating blood. Although he was initially shy and insecure when donating blood for the first time, once he realized that his actions could save lives, he registered to donate again whenever the required time had passed. Now, at the age of 27, Nguyen Phuc Duc has donated blood 30 times, with each donation serving as a small gift to help save patients. "Giving is forever" – this is Phuc Duc’s life motto , and it is reflected in his tireless dedication to the community. Notably, Phuc Duc created a unique national flag with his 30 blood donation certificates, as a way to express his patriotism and embody the Vietnamese spirit of "the good leaves protect the torn ones."
Besides his blood donation activities, Phuc Duc also inspires other young people through various charity clubs. He currently serves as Vice President of the Red Cross Youth Association in Thai Nguyen province. With his kind smile and generous heart, Phuc Duc has turned his life story into motivation for those around him. "For me, having a disability is merely an inconvenience, not a misfortune. Participating in volunteer activities makes me feel useful and much more confident," Duc said.
Phuc Duc has not only transformed himself but also continues to spread the message of living kindly, supporting, and sharing with others. The unexpected appearance of his teacher, classmates, and members of the blood donation club brought out many fascinating stories about this young man born in the 90s who is passionate about community activities.
When Phuc Duc, who is differently-abled, saw his hometown severely damaged by Typhoon Yagi in recent days, he could not help but feel sorrow. He volunteered overnight to provide support and deliver supplies to the people of Thai Nguyen who were stranded in the flooded areas. For his dedication and contributions to social welfare activities, Nguyen Phuc Duc has received commendations from various levels and was honored with the "Youth with a Beautiful Life" award by the Central Vietnam Youth Federation in 2024.
In the future, Phuc Duc hopes to continue his blood donation journey and inspire more people in the community to embrace this meaningful act. The gift from Love Station will further empower him in his journey to spread love to others.
