GD&TĐ - Overcoming many physical and mental limitations, Nguyen Tuan Anh continued his academic dream and completed his Master's program in Australia.

Nguyen Tuan Anh, a young man born in 1989 from Binh Dinh, was an excellent student at Hue University of Sciences . However, the accident happened when Tuan Anh was a senior student. On a trip to the laboratory to culture specimens, he unfortunately encountered hail and a tornado. An ancient royal poinciana tree branch suddenly broke and fell on his back, causing a fracture of the spine at T11 and T12 and four broken ribs. The broken ribs pierced his lungs, causing pleural effusion, and the severe spinal damage left him completely paralyzed in both lower limbs.

After the accident, Tuan Anh understood that he would no longer be able to walk. But instead of giving up, he chose to face it and adapt. With extraordinary willpower, just a few months after the incident, he completed his thesis and received an engineering degree with honors as an affirmation: "I am still alive, and I will live a useful life."

Not stopping there, in 2018, he co-founded the Vietnam Spinal Injury Club, where hundreds of people with disabilities are connected, shared and together lifted up their spirits. He also found passion in growing and caring for orchids – small but resilient buds of life, just like his own determination in the face of adversity.

Overcoming many physical and mental limitations, Tuan Anh continues to conquer his academic dream. He has just completed his Master's program in Australia, with the desire to use his knowledge to improve policies and lives for people with disabilities in Vietnam. For him, studying is not about advancing alone, but about "sowing seeds of hope for the community".

Nguyen Tuan Anh has just returned to Vietnam after completing his Master's program in Australia.

This inspirational story will be told in the program "Love Station" with the theme "I am for everyone", broadcast on VTV1 channel. Here, the audience will hear the true moments of Tuan Anh's journey full of tears and light: from the days lying motionless on the hospital bed, the painful physical therapy sessions, to the bright smile when he once again found himself contributing.
