Station of Love: The resilient journey of a woman who chose happiness

“Station of Love”, with the theme “Happiness Is a Choice”, airing at 10:00 a.m. on November 22, 2025, on VTV1, took viewers on a warm, moving, and deeply inspiring journey about inner strength. The program’s main character, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Quy, is a living reminder of a simple truth: happiness does not come by chance, it’s a brave decision each person makes.

The episode opens with a haunting memory from the summer of 1997. At just 16, while working part-time at a brick and tile factory, Ms.Quy suffered a serious workplace accident that led to the amputation of her left arm. For a young girl with her whole future ahead, the incident felt like the end of everything. Her family was shaken, the future seemed uncertain, and physical pain was followed by days of despair. 

But instead of an ending, she chose a “comma” in her life story. Station of Love recreated the image of a young woman teaching herself to stand up again, wiping away tears, and walking forward once more. In a gentle yet emotional voice, the program revealed that her resilience did not stem from any miracle, but from a single choice: the decision not to let fate dictate her life.

One of the most touching moments came from a memory in 2015, when Quy unexpectedly met her old friend Mr. Do Van Khanh on a familiar village road. From a simple conversation, two people who once shared memories found deep understanding again. They chose to love not because they were perfect, but because they understood one another. They stayed together not because it was easy, but because they were willing to share and endure each day side by side. The program beautifully portrayed their love story as proof that happiness always finds a way back, as long as the heart remains open.

Another highlight was her journey to rebuild her life. The year 2024 marked an important turning point when Ms. Quy secured a stable job. That job not only brought income to support her husband but, more importantly, gave her a sense of purpose, trust, and self-worth. The program delivered a powerful message: sometimes, just one small opportunity is enough to open a whole new sky for someone who never stops trying.

The episode closed with the central message once again: “Happiness is not a random gift. Happiness is a choice”. A choice to rise after pain, to look toward the light, to keep loving, living, and giving.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Quy’s story in “Happiness Is a Choice” is not about a perfect woman, but about a resilient heart. It is that resilience that shines, spreading positive energy to countless viewers. Once again, “Station of Love” proves why it continues to touch audiences: with honesty, humanity, and the power to reach the deepest corners of the heart.
