Born into a farming family in Bac Giang, Tran Viet Hung faced countless challenges from a young age due to congenital cerebral palsy. His daily activities relied entirely on his family’s assistance. As he grew older, he was diagnosed with several other chronic illnesses. However, due to financial constraints, medical treatment remained an unattainable dream.
Refusing to surrender to fate, Viet Hung always held out hope for a better future. Although confined to a wheelchair for life, he was determined to learn and find a job to support himself. Through a twist of fate, he l met Nguyen Thi Lan—a visually impaired woman with a heart full of love. Sharing similar struggles, they decided to come together and build a happy home.
Every day, the couple earns a living by running a small drink stand at home. Despite their modest income, their hard work and perseverance ensure that their two young children have the best life possible. In addition, Hung has learned how to repair computers and download music for mobile phones to supplement their income. His extraordinary willpower and relentless spirit have made him a role model within the disabled community.

In 2020, he was honored with a certificate of merit for his outstanding contributions to the Lang Giang District Youth Union youth movement. Hung also frequently participates in "Spreading the Spirit of Resilience" forums, where he shares valuable life lessons and personal experiences in overcoming difficulties.

They cherish every moment together, supporting one another at work and raising their children. Two lives have found solace in each other, creating a home that, though humble, is filled with warmth. "Just seeing my wife and children smile gives me the motivation to keep going", Hung said.
