At the age of 13, Nam tried to learn to walk, although he had little hope of being able to. After 3 years of hard work, with his paralyzed hands and legs, Nam was finally able to move around the house, go up and down the stairs... Being able to walk and take care of himself was already a great happiness, but Nam wanted to take care of his own life in the future. What to do now? Nam could not do heavy work.
With his own willpower, Nam crawled to the house next door every day to practice embroidering dresses, making mattresses, and practicing making blankets and pillows... Luckily for Nam, there was a kind neighbor named Lien who was very enthusiastic in teaching Nam how to sew and patch on a sewing machine so that Nam could sew and patch clothes for children in the village.
Seeing that their daughter was smart and had a talent for sewing, mending, weaving, and embroidering, Nam's parents borrowed money to buy a sewing machine and hired someone to teach her sewing at home. Surprisingly, this disabled girl learned quickly, and her products impressed customers.
For the convenience of his son, his parents built a small shop for Nam to sell groceries such as fish sauce, salt, lamp oil... to the villagers, next to it was a sewing machine so that Nam could sew and sell at the same time. After only a few years, Nam saved up enough money to buy a motorbike so that someone could drive him to buy and sell goods in neighboring communes and also as a means for Nam to visit friends and have fun during festivals. Nam also helped his parents with spending money and raising his younger siblings.
Over time, Nam was like a bee collecting every drop of honey, leaving behind praise and the love and trust of the villagers.
