One-legged Bac Giang girl always confident in life
Until now, many of Thu's colleagues sometimes recall the first day when an one-legged girl with a crutch rushed into the "boss" room for an interview to get a job. At that time, all eyes were on the disabled girl with a small figure, who had just graduated from university but "shown so much confidence".

Le Thu said: 'I always set goals for myself in life'. |
Three years working here, now the image of Thu in the eyes of her colleagues is no longer a little amputee girl. Referring to the name Thu, people think of an accountant who is always happy and sociable, and often laughs and talks.
Thu was born in 1994. One day, at the end of her 5th grade, Nguyen Thi Le Thu had an accident. It was a winter day when her father worked as a construction worker far away from home and his mother went to havest corn in the field. That morning, along with his friends, Thu carried her 8-month-old sister to a high ground to see people shoveling dirt. Unfortunately, the excavator was overturned. She accepted to stand still in place so that the machine could rest on her to save her sister.

Thu lost a leg but she still lives, works and participates in activities like normal people. |
After 2 hours of rescue efforts, she was immediately transferred to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi. The next day when she woke up, she saw her right leg amputated up to the thigh.
At first, she had to crawl because her left leg was stiff. Then she thought that if she was like this, she would depend entirely on her family. So she compressed her pain and practiced stretching her leg a little bit every day.
Only 1-2 months later, Thu asked for going to school. Her parents took turns taking her to school by bike. She thought that if this situation continued, my parents would have to serve her for the whole life. Therefore, she was determined to practice cycling on one leg.

'I believe I'm beautiful in my own way,' Thu said. |
For the next 7 years, she cycled to school by herself. Thu remembered that the road to the high school was only 2 km long but there was a steep section. Every time when she cycled up the slope, her friends dragged her hand up.
In 2012, she passed the exam to the Hanoi University of Economics - Technology for Industries, majoring in Accounting. During four years of university, she got scholarships every year. Thu was also one of the four students with the highest graduation thesis marks in her department and obtained a good diploma.
From the 2nd year of unverisity, she studied and worked part-time as a tutor and an online seller. Six months after graduation, she herself bought a 3-wheel motorbike for 24 million VND (1,038 USD).
"I am always in a state of making more efforts than others" - Thu said.
Thu confided that there were two boys who loved me, but because of her physical defect, their families opposed. That is also the biggest worry of my parents now.

Nguyen Thi Le Thu (from Bac Giang), born in 1994, is working as an accountant for a company in Hanoi. |
"Sometimes my parents laughed with tears. There were times when people praised me that I am pretty and good at learning but ...".
Everyone praised her but those were the words that made her parents the most painful.
Now, with her positive attitude, Thu also inspires others in the same plight. She chats and makes clips posted on her own Youtube channel called Amputee Land (meaning The Land of Amputees).
The simple videos sharing how Thu rides a bike, washes clothes and plants trees ... make many people admire. The most special thing is that Thu always does everything with a smile on her lips, even though life does not smile at her.
