Her whole body was injured, the most serious of which were her legs which were burned and gradually fell off. She had to lie in one place for a long time, and only learned to walk at the age of 12. Currently, Thuong lives with her mother, younger brother and daughter in Hamlet 8, Tan Huong Commune (Tan Ky). Photo: Cong Kien |
