Bich said that in recent phone conversations between the couple, he said he would retire in 3 years. At that time, he would make up for the love he had shown over the past decades. Bich and her husband have 2 sons, Bui Dinh Tuan (25 years old) and Bui Dinh Tu (23 years old), who have both finished university but do not have stable jobs.
