Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In Vietnam’s Binh Dinh Province, Nguyễn Xuân Hiếu, a visually impaired man, plans to busk to pay for his daughter Ngân’s university tuition.
Ngân recently earned a place at university with a score of 22.85, studying logistics and supply chain management in Ho Chi Minh City. Her family faces financial hardship. Her mother sells noodle soup and steamed rice cakes at the market while also caring for Ngân’s younger brother, who has autism and hyperactivity.
Ngân has always been a diligent student, excelling in math and helping her mother with the family business. She earned provincial-level honors in mathematics during her eleventh year of school. To contribute financially, she also worked online as a freelance consultant, earning around 1 million đồng per week when available. Despite her academic success, Ngân initially considered forgoing university due to the cost of tuition, 20 million đồng per semester, but her mother encouraged her to pursue her studies. Mr.
Hiếu lost his vision in 2022, ending his previous work as a musician. He intends to accompany Ngân to Ho Chi Minh City and earn money by singing on the streets to cover her expenses. Ngân hopes to secure a spot in a university dormitory, as she currently relies on her aunt for housing and lacks transportation to campus. Her teacher describes her as resilient and creative, confident she will overcome the challenges ahead.
