Disabled boy becomes electronics factory owner
(Baonghean.vn) - With his efforts and spirit of overcoming difficulties, Mr. Bui Sinh Thanh (Dong Hieu, Thai Hoa Town) from a disabled person has become a skilled computer repairman, an example for many young people to follow.
Going back in time to 1980, the boy Bui Sinh Thanh was born in Dong Hieu (Thai Hoa town) in a healthy and intact body. However, at the age of 1, after a high fever, his right leg was completely paralyzed. Although he tried every possible treatment, his family had to accept the fact that he was disabled.

Although his health is only over 60%, Mr. Bui Sinh Thanh is still enthusiastically serving customers regardless of the time. |
Time passed quickly, when he began to be aware of the outside world, seeing his friends of the same age going to school, the boy Thanh began to feel sorry for himself and tried to take his first steps by dragging himself along the wooden chair his father "designed". In the early days, he fell down countless times, his whole body was bruised.
Loving their son, his parents tried to dissuade him many times, but he was determined to practice and gradually got used to the wooden chair, which was his support. Entering primary school, when he could use wooden crutches, everything became less difficult, and over time, Thanh completed 3 levels of education with many excellent achievements. In particular, in grade 10, he was an excellent student in French at the provincial level.
After graduating from high school, with the thought of learning a trade so as not to be a burden to his family in the future, based on information from the media, he registered to study at the Vietnam - Poland vocational school for the disabled in the old Ha Tay province (now Hanoi). This was an extremely difficult time for him as he had to leave home and be independent. However, with his determination, he overcame everything. Moreover, he also won a scholarship from the school for 2 years of study.

However, because of the "barrier" of being disabled, after graduating in 2002, he encountered many difficulties in finding a job. It was not until 2004 that he was able to apply for a job at Hong Ha Computer Company. With a spirit of eagerness to learn and constantly improve, he was assigned by the company to manage the digital sector and increasingly affirmed his position.
With a stable job, he began to think about building a family, and then he found his "other half" who was from the same hometown and also working in Vinh City. With sincere love and sympathy, they decided to get married and welcome their first baby boy in 2008.

At the end of 2010, he and his wife moved to Thai Hoa to live. Here, with the capital they saved, he and his wife opened a computer repair center and sold electronic devices. On peak days, his center had dozens of customers visiting. Mr. Thanh said: For me, my current life is really like a dream. I have a wife, 2 sons and most of all, I can travel and work with my own strength.
For him, that happiness was like a dream, but for us, we truly admired and realized one thing: nothing is impossible when we have determination./.
