Nguyen Thi Ngoc Chau was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 in the final night on June 25.

Few people know that Ngoc Chau had to try and make a lot of effort to become who she is today. During the new Miss's visit home in Tay Ninh, her biological mother revealed to us about her not-so-peaceful childhood...

Ms. Dang Thi Gai - Ngoc Chau's mother said that since she was little, her daughter walked to school by herself, and she only took her on the first day to pay the tuition.

"During the years Chau was in school, I was never scolded or reminded by teachers about her studies. Chau was meticulous and prepared everything for her studies. The strange thing was that when it came time for exams, I saw her very relaxed, she didn't study much but always got high scores. Ngoc Chau was a very good student, every year in 12 years of school she received a Certificate of Merit," said Ms. Gai.

The new beauty queen's biological mother also revealed that when she was young, her daughter had a period of constant illness, sick for 29 days a month. She said: "The doctor didn't say what illness she had, but Chau often coughed and wheezed. When her father was still alive, there was a day when he took Chau to the doctor three times. I was afraid that she had asthma, but the doctor said no, telling the family to rest assured, that the illness would go away when she reached puberty. Luckily, as the doctor said, by the age of 14 or 15, Chau had stopped having minor illnesses and has been healthy ever since."

Mrs. Gai said that Ngoc Chau has been tall since she was young, but she has never seen her daughter diet or follow any kind of regimen to stay in shape. It was the same before and now, whatever the family eats, Ngoc Chau eats the same.

The mother of Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 added that Ngoc Chau is very gentle at home, quiet, and only confides in her older sister when she has problems. All the neighbors love her.

"Since she started school, she has never brought a boyfriend home to play. Now when I ask her, she still says she doesn't have a boyfriend. I also want Chau to get married but she says it's slow," Ngoc Chau's mother said.

During the final night of Miss Universe Vietnam 2022, witnessing her daughter perform on stage and demonstrate fluent English, Ms. Gai was very emotional. She said: "There are so many beautiful people on stage that I didn't think my daughter would win the Miss title. When she was little, Ngoc Chau only went to school and didn't learn English. When she was in high school and university, she learned on her own and went to school. Seeing her succeed, I'm very happy."

The mother of the new Miss Universe Vietnam also revealed that her daughter has not yet reported her schedule to visit her hometown after the coronation.

"The neighbors asked us to hold a party to celebrate, but my family has never had a habit of holding parties, so we probably won't. If Chau comes back and she wants to, we'll just hold it. We'll probably have 4 or 5 symbolic trays, so there's no need to make it extravagant," Ms. Gai said with a laugh.
