Today, we will go to the quietest street in Shanghai to experience the cultural story behind it. This street is Shanghai Xinhua Road.

basic introduction

Xinhua Road is a street in Changning District, Shanghai. It starts from Huaihai Road in the east and Kaixuan Road in the west. It stretches for more than 2,400 meters from east to west. The road is wide and is an important passage connecting Changning and Hongqiao Airport.

This road was built in 1925 and was originally named “Anhe Temple Road”. It was built across the border when Shanghai became a public concession. Many foreigners once lived here. Therefore, for a long time, Xinhua Road was occupied by foreigners, and many exotic residential buildings with different styles were built here, which have been preserved to this day, so they are also known as the “Wanguo Lane”.

Quiet environment

Nowadays, Xinhua Road has long, narrow and straight roads, towering trees on both sides, and sunlight shining through the sparse leaves. It is known as one of the most secluded roads in Shanghai. Dozens of garden houses of various styles shuttle through the lanes under the shade of the trees. There are English country houses, Gothic architecture, Baroque architecture, French classical architecture, and ancient Roman and Renaissance architecture, with pointed roofs and gray shades. The appearance, variety of forms, romantic and passionate, make people feel its unique charm.

Wudak

These buildings were all made by the Hungarian architect Udak. In the 1930s, they were given the responsibility of designing houses on Xinhua Road. It is said that he left as many as 124 buildings in Shanghai. Cinemas and international hotels have become Shanghai’s leading designers.

Like the bungalow at No. 36, Lane 329, Xinhua Road, it has a conspicuous blue roof and a two-story circular garden. It is called the “cake house”. It is an outstanding masterpiece of Master Wudak. Walking in it is like being in a foreign country, with a strong atmosphere.

Foreign lane

In addition, there is the foreign lane at No. 32, Lane 329, which was once the residence of the Swedish minister and the residence of the Spanish consul-general. The steep double-slope red roof tile surface makes it unique and dazzling among the nearby bungalows.

There is also No. 315, Xinhua Road, this English-style King George style house is a grand residence. Strolling here, the small bungalows, pavilions and gardens that can be seen everywhere are unique and novel, and people can’t help but think of the scene on this road a hundred years ago.

Today, on Xinhua Road, the sycamore branches on the side of the road are lush and leafy, and the shadows of the trees are projected on the unique buildings. There is no traffic, and you can slowly feel the historical atmosphere of this road. At the intersection of Xinhua Road and Panyu Road, there is also a modern building-the first screening hall of Shanghai Cinema.

Today, it has transformed into the world’s first laser projection “Oriental Giant Screen” theater. The world’s top Christie laser projection technology in the studio takes people through the world of science fiction in minutes, giving people a thrilling adventure journey. At the same time, there are a variety of gourmet snack bars downstairs, satisfying people’s appetites, you can come and experience it. (The picture comes from Ctrip netizens)

Lilies, also known as lilies, lilies, lilies, etc., are popular flowers, grown in many parts of the world. The shape of this flower is true to its name, when it blooms completely like a loudspeaker or trumpet. In addition, this flower also means to wish for all the good, luck and success. In Hanoi, white lilies are the most popular, symbolizing the innocence, purity, lightness and tenderness of a woman. True to its meaning, when referring to white lilies, people think of the famous painting “Girl with lilies” by painter To Ngoc Van. Every April and May, it’s not difficult to “find” lilies, especially those carrying flowers around the streets of Phan Dinh Phung, Thuy Khue, Quang Ba flower market, etc. It is a pleasure to buy lilies to display in the house to enjoy their pure beauty and gentle scent. I don’t know since when, under the bright sunshine of May, Hanoi capital is adorned with the purple color of mausoleum flowers, which has become a familiar image every summer. Bang Lang is a strong woody plant, the canopy is high and wide, it has all the elements to become a shaded ornamental plant. It is often said that purple mausoleum represents loyalty, represents the innocence of the first love of a pure school age, a love that is not attached to anything. Every May, the lily-of-the-valley flowers in the season bloom, full of life, reaching out to the summer winds. They race to make the whole sky purple, lined up one after another along the streets. Each flower is crowded to show off its color, making anyone passing by feel flustered, stopping to look at it. The lily-of-the-valley tree appears all over the streets and streets of Hanoi, wherever you go, you will see that purple color in full bloom, bringing a sense of lightness, relaxation, dispelling the heat of summer. Without a strong fragrance like milk flowers or jasmine flowers, lily-of-the-valley flowers attract all eyes by their own uniqueness and charm – an unforgettable beauty. The lily-of-the-valley flower blooms quickly but also quickly fades, it will be bare again, losing the beauty it once had after the summer ends, we can only look and recall that purple color when it was still brilliant. “In what beautiful dress with lotus Green leaves with white flowers and yellow stamens…” In the summer of May, when the first showers poured down signaling the arrival of summer, the lotus ponds also began to reveal the first shy flowers. The lotus flower gives off a cool fragrance that captivates people. Sen has been associated with Vietnam for many generations. Lotus is the symbol, the national flower of Vietnam, symbolizing integrity, uprightness and justice. The lotus is self-born, self-sustaining, and every summer, the lotus stretches out strongly, showing off its fragrance in the mud swamp. Past and present, traditional or modern, lotus has always had a place in the lives of Vietnamese people. The lotus is perhaps the only flower that converges in both the philosophical meaning, the noble life and the rise of a strong will to live like the Vietnamese people who have also experienced the “mud”, I came out of the water and bloomed. Not only that, with the symbolic meaning of purity and nobility, lotus is also a part of Vietnamese beliefs, where there is a lotus there is a Buddha, serenity and peace. The lotus is also the symbol of Vietnamese women in ao dai, with a conical hat on their head, and blooming lotus flowers in their hands, this image makes many boys fall in love and flutter. Amidst the jade-green leaves, hundreds of lotus flowers bloomed, both rustic and beautiful, and elegantly surreal, brightening up a large area. That romantic image has woven unforgettable memories in the hearts of Hanoians and tourists from all over the world. Not as poetic as a mausoleum or burning like a red phoenix, the canary is dressed in yellow as if it were in harmony with the blazing sun of summer. Each cluster of canaries hangs down, slender and graceful. Muong canary also has many other names such as Queen Muong, Lantern Flower, … or likened to the apricot tree of summer. The canary is a symbol of love, solidarity and harmony. The yellow color of the canary also represents vermilion, prosperity, and a fresh radiance that brings hope. Canary flowers are found in many places, but are grown most in West Lake. The branches of the canary are thin but golden, full of flower clusters, like lanterns that make people engrossed in their gazes. Walking around West Lake, it is impossible to stop bewildered by the clusters of golden canaries, luxurious and splendid, dotted against the blue sky, making people’s hearts flutter. The canary is beautiful in the bright sunlight of summer and gentle in the red and yellow color of the sunset at West Lake. Referring to the phoenix flower, we cannot forget its brilliant red color – the red color that signals the arrival of summer. Every May degree, every street corner, every street in the capital is filled with the red color of phoenix flowers. The red phoenix is ​​a vibrant color full of vitality that makes people’s hearts flutter before its beauty. Besides the name phoenix, this plant is also known as cylindricula, western scallop. In Hanoi, it is not difficult to see the bright red color of phoenix flowers on roads such as Thanh Nien Street, around West Lake or on the banks of the To Lich River,… Phoenix is ​​not a flower, a branch, phoenix is ​​a red sky. The phoenix flowers bloom in clusters like sparks, adorning the streets of Hanoi. In the middle of the red color, the leaves are green, growing on both sides of the stem like a phoenix’s tail. It is often said that when seeing the phoenix tail showing off its color and the sound of cicadas, it is also the time to signal the arrival of summer. The phoenix is ​​also a symbol associated with the age of students, because the phoenix blooms at the end of the school year, the farewell season of high school students. It is associated with many happy and sad memories of a time when she went to school, so the phoenix is ​​also known as “student flower”. If the mausoleum brings a romantic purple color to the streets of Hanoi, the phoenix flowers light up the fire with bright red flowers in the summer sun. This is also a flower that creates an unforgettable highlight for Hanoi every summer.

Like a ghostly illusion, the afternoon dew covered every street of the land of thousands of flowers. Like a sweet and gentle girl, Da Lat in the love poems of purple colors love and miss. The month of March in him is the promise of purple phoenix with the whole river of memories turning into a waterfall of nostalgia rushing out. Purple phoenix Dalat. I don’t know if it’s because I have counted every drop of night during Autumn, waited patiently for the whole winter of the old year, eagerly looked forward to every hour of the new Spring, but purple phoenix seems to come early, the new spring is half a season, Da Lat has shimmering purple flowers dyeing the whole space in the crystal clear sunshine. The purple phoenix in me now is no longer every tree stump with every memory with you shyly from Da Lat in the distant past, but now it is the enchanting purple-blue flower dome, like falling in love on the slopes around. endlessly up and down the land of thousands of flowers. You are like the purple breeze from the top of Lang Biang, gently perched in the mountain town in the morning, with a soft silk shirt covered in romantic colors, a charming smile with a coin on your cheek, and a bright purple color in your eyes. The arch of the sky is deposited under the curved eyelids, the sweet voice of the nectar of the March highland, I hold your hand, not to go to look, but to blend in with the purple phoenix in the dream of poetry and music. From Tran Phu, Le Dai Hanh, Le Hong Phong, then around Xuan Huong lake, along both sides of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street to Da Lat Market, the way to Thuy Ta restaurant or in front of Nguyen Du school on Bui Thi Xuan street, Stone slope of Phu Dong Thien Vuong street or beyond is the road to the Valley of Love, winding along the banks of Tuyen Lam lake leading to Truc Lam Zen Monastery, then passing the Clay Tunnel… Like a floating wave of flowers, purple and purple are sad, but why do you feel excited with each beat of love to infatuation. Flowers clustered together in clusters look very attractive with a purple-blue color like dew like clouds in the mountain town of thousands of flowers, like the color of cliffs, waterfalls in four seasons releasing thousands of beautiful melodies of water. Falling flowers filled the path leading to each small house lying shyly under the quiet old pine canopy, adding to the beauty of the hundred-year-old mossy features on the dark brown tile roofs covered with dust from the time of Da Lat city. Plateau, for someone’s feet in clinging to every moment of sluggishness. Da Lat this season is full of flowers that blend like a symphony of many emotions. The bright pink cherry apricot lights up the chilly sunset. The beautiful emerald green hydrangea gardens in the warm noonday sun. The rows of beautiful Thuoc Duoc rows of fine velvet wings bloom in the morning dew sparkles. Then the yellow color of wild chrysanthemums left over from the old year’s season is sometimes nostalgic for the old people, and thousands of purple flowers of thousands of flowers from aristocratic regal to simple simplicity always pamper the audience. But it seems that only Purple Phoenix, with its delicate petals, is the Queen of the mountain town with its fluttering purple color, making anyone’s breathing error when touched. Like a mysterious seducing magic power of the season, to have and want to use endlessly, to have far away still lingers foolishly, to hold your hand and get lost in the purple streets in a wish for time to stop. linger… Yes, strangely, the purple phoenix color is like a lonely afternoon dew drop on the surface of Than Tho Lake, as cool as the sunset over Cam Ly waterfall, as sad as a love that has fallen into nostalgia at Thong Hai Hill. Grave, but why go with you Purple Phuong Da Lat, despite the sadness in the eyes of the plateau, I still feel the bright crystal smile in the morning sunshine of Xuan Huong Lake, still feel the tenderness and loyalty. in each eye mixed with immense purple color against the blue sky of the mountain town. Listening to the people of Da Lat say, Purple phoenix from a distant South American country with the difficult name “West” Jacaranda Acutifolia chose this place as a “station” nearly 60 years ago, and since there was only one flower tree. With so much hardship and suffering to adapt, to survive, now there are thousands of trees, choose this plateau of thousands of flowers as a peaceful place, waiting for the season to show off the mysterious blue purple color to love to remember. tourists from all over the world. The kiss goodbye to purple Phuong and goodbye to the city of Da Lat with thousands of flowers made him flutter like a profound regret all the way back to Saigon. He will then reflect on the purple color again, question the memories again, add to the river of memories, count the past seasons again, wait for the day to end, count each moment until the next purple phoenix. To be immersed in the royal dream and sad eyes of the plateau.

The summer sun is brilliant, the phoenix shape is tilted, the body is moldy and callous. The ancient citadel, the old gate, the old monument, the old phoenix root, all seem to want to gather to whisper to them what belongs to a distant time. The cast-iron citadel imprinted with traces of time is a witness of a bygone era. For now, the citadel becomes a place to welcome generations of students to come here to practice. In the middle of that quiet old space, there is still something that is silently changing. From the thin, thin branches, green sprouts rise up. That green color revives a deep and quiet space. Thousands of delicate leaf spots weave together to create a cool green color to the eyes. The blazing sun urges the phoenix to call summer. Until one day the old phoenix tree suddenly glowed red. That’s when the exam draws near. Nights with lights on by the small doorway, summer afternoons reviewing lessons under the trees. The sound of cicadas tinkling red phoenix flowers makes the heart more excited. The road leading to the familiar lecture hall was covered with red corpses. The wind gently swept the fragile phoenix wings flying in the air. In the line of troops walking under the phoenix’s shadow, there were petals falling gently on the red and gold-rimmed shoulders. That red color blends together to weave into student memories. It was the last summer we studied under the officer’s roof. Graduation exam is approaching, teammates are hard at work together. With a bit of leisure, I walked around the school, stood under the phoenix tree and picked up fallen petals. The cicada slightly tilted its head and flapped its wings in a hurry to catch the rhythm of the song. After the hard exam, the graduates are honored to carry on their shoulders the sparkling gold star badge. When the phoenix flower was over, it was time for us to part. From the roof of this school, young officers spread everywhere, each with a unit, a new horizon. Only the old phoenix shape with crimson flowers at the school gate will probably remain forever. We graduated from school with that year’s phoenix season so that every summer, we would sob with the falling color of the phoenix, the roof of the ancient citadel, and our comrades-in-arms.

The phoenix flower tree has the English name Flamboyant, also known as phoenix, oval west, scallop… The phoenix is ​​a red-flowered plant found in tropical or subtropical regions. Phoenix flowers bloom from about late April to June, depending on the region. This flower is native to Madagascar. In addition to its ornamental value, phoenix also acts as a shade tree in tropical conditions. The phoenix tree is quite tall, about 5m to 12m. The phoenix tree has wide spreading foliage and its dense foliage provides shade. The phoenix flower has 5 petals spreading bright red or orange-red, often forming large clusters. In Vietnam, the phoenix tree was introduced and planted by the French in the late 19th century in big cities such as Hai Phong, Hanoi, Da Nang, and Saigon. Even Hai Phong is also known as the “City of red phoenix flowers”. In Hanoi, the phoenix tree is grown quite popularly. They are planted on sidewalks, parks, schools. When the phoenix flowers begin to bloom, it is also the time to signal exam season, summer, and school release season. That’s why, the first sentence of the song Phuong Hong: Carts full of phoenix flowers, where is my summer baby going… has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of many young people. The phoenix flower rose strongly in the terrible heat of Hanoi. Along the rivers, lakes and both sides of the capital’s roads are now tinged with brilliant red. The phoenix trees on the street produce bright red flowers, combined with the purple color of the mausoleum, the yellow color of the scalloped flowers, creating the summer colors of Hanoi. All of them light up in many generations of Hanoians the fire of love every time they look at those bright colors.

The bricks are carefully tiled and square, but the characters printed on the bricks are not in the correct position as planned. After finishing the tile, the girl’s lower body is printed on the tile in the right position, but the head, neck and middle body are completely deviated. Many netizens fell in love with this unattractive brick grafting method of the workers. When the owner complained, he received the answer: “Well, I’ll do it for you for free, not for any money. Ok yet..” After listening to the workers, the homeowner did not know what to do with this wall. According to the majority of comments, only know how to remove the tiles to re-tile. But this type of tile with a human figure is sometimes “scareful” especially at midnight. “Doing this, but also dare to hire, the landlord certainly does not know the skill of the worker. This worker does it because of passion, no experience” , one person commented. Another said: “This type of brick wall is so scary, waking up at night to see the wall is definitely scary.” Not long ago, netizens shared a picture of a house that was almost completed, but if you look closely, the photo can’t help but be funny. On the front of the house, there are pictures of phoenix and dragon. However, if it is not said that it is a dragon and phoenix, it is difficult for anyone to recognize it. The reason may be that the person who put it on is not technical and inexperienced, so the dragon and phoenix images are not beautiful and distorted. Even netizens “checked” and discovered that the main door of the house was completely deviated. Many people question the construction ability of the mason team. Because usually the door is carefully designed to ensure balance, no one will make such a clear deviation

Illustration Interestingly, when we go to schools, we will always see a few shady phoenix trees on the yard and the flower season often coincides with the end of the school year. When we were young, when we were on summer vacation, our children often invited each other to fly kites, kick soccer balls, catch ticks, throw canes… Even though we knew we would be scolded by our parents, we still tried to pick the phoenix flowers play. Our daughter often weaves phoenix petals into necklaces and bracelets to play princess and bride games. Boys cut the pistil to “fight” with each other like a cockfight, whoever’s pistil falls first loses. The clumsy games that used to be have now drifted into the fairyland. And surely, everyone has wished for a miracle to buy a ticket back to the memory station of the carefree days. Memories of the white shirt era are often associated with phoenix flowers. The boy in the class silently gave his girlfriend phoenix branches in the desk drawer. The girlfriend quietly pressed the pink phoenix petals in her boyfriend’s guestbook with nostalgic poems… On the day of parting with students, someone fluttered with the song “Phong Hong” in the recording- He advised: “Baskets of carts full of phoenix flowers / Where do you carry my summer / The bunch of phoenixes you hold is my age of eighteen / Age no one knows, silently first love”… A little That first pure vibration of life is forever stored in each person’s small and beautiful memory compartment. As a promise, the blooming phoenix signals the exam season and lights up the aspirations of youth. I will always remember the last summer of my student years. The whole group of friends cycled to the beach in the middle of the Red River to play. We talked about our plans for the upcoming college entrance exam and our career dreams. Before leaving, each person writes their wish on a piece of paper, folds it into a boat, and floats it on the river. The paper boats carrying our dreams floated on the waves of the Red River drifting far away in the sunset. Later, the harsh life divided us into many directions and there were some people who lost contact with each other. Sometimes, I secretly ask: “I don’t know, who can fulfill their youthful aspirations?”. There are dreams and ambitions that have passed because time does not wait for us. But, there are also people who burn themselves out for work. For them, being devoted to their dreams is happiness. Yes, phoenix still blooms but youth never returns. So we should not waste our youth on meaningless things. Every year, when it comes to summer, phoenix lights up the nostalgia for a time when white clothes were worn. I believe that, in each person’s memory domain, there are memories of a brilliant youth with youthful aspirations. Yes, a flower season is coming to the street.

The weather in Hanoi began to appear intense heat waves as well as when the phoenix trees on the streets of Hanoi began to bloom. This is a flower that reminds many memories of the time when students went to school in Hanoi. Every corner of the sky, every corner, every road… wherever you go, you will see phoenix flowers, brilliant “flames” on the tree trunks that seem dry but imbued with nostalgia. Along the streets there are the most beautiful rows of phoenixes such as Lang, Thanh Nien, around West Lake, Truc Bach lake… and even school yards in Hanoi stand out in the summer sun with the burning red color of this flower. Not only a flower that signals summer, in the memories of Hanoi’s students in the past, when the phoenix “burns” is the time when the senior students are about to part, reminding that the important exam is near. , have to change the habits of going to class, meeting and playing with classmates for many years. Going through the streets of Hanoi, it is not difficult for people to see the blooming “flames” signaling the arrival of summer.

On the street corner, the sky seemed to be on fire with the red color of this flower. Referring to the species of phoenix is ​​immediately referring to Hai Phong, but Hanoi is also very colorful with this flower in May. Phoenix in Hanoi is grown a lot, especially on streets like Lang, Quan Hoa, Thanh Nien, around West Lake, Truc Bach Lake… In Vietnam, the phoenix tree was introduced by the French in the late 19th century in big cities, gradually, this flower was planted throughout the provinces from North to South on sidewalks and school grounds. Phoenix flowers on the sidewalk in Hanoi. Along the two sides of To Lich River, Lang street, two rows of phoenixes are planted quite beautifully. 4 bright red, or slightly orange petals, the 5th petal is erect, slightly larger than the other 4. The phoenix flower season usually lasts for 1 month. In May, phoenix blooms, the color is deep red, but in June, the color is lighter and the flowers begin to fall. The phoenix is ​​tall and the foliage is wide, providing shade for passersby. The deep red color of the phoenix flower makes the people of the capital flutter when remembering a time when students went to school to go to school.

Strangely, the ancient emperor’s robes were forbidden to be washed with water. Usually, clothes worn for a long time without washing will have a bad smell and give a feeling of not being clean. Moreover, the long robe is the emperor’s daily wear, why is it forbidden to wash it? In the king’s palace, most of the costumes from kings to concubines use embroidery and weaving methods. The emperor’s robes are always made of the finest silk, woven into the finest fabrics. Legend has it that the clothes of the emperor and queen were also embroidered with real gold, dyed with a certain amount of gold to shine. The dragon robe is embroidered from the highest quality silk, embroidered with real gold thread, very elaborately. Photo: Sohu The minus point in this embroidery method lies in the fact that the type of silk as well as the type of embroidery thread with gold thread makes the dragon robe very special. Once touched with water, the silk thread and gold thread will be washed away and completely lose its luster, no longer as bright and brilliant as before. Therefore, long robes will never be allowed to be washed with water. Instead, they will use aromatherapy. This is the simplest way to deodorize dragon cells. However, the emperor did not always like to wear perfumed clothes. So, when they see a “slightly old” dragon robe, they will… directly leave. Normally, it takes about a year to complete a dragon robe. In the palace, there were usually more than 2,000 slaves who did nothing but weave dragon robes for the emperor all year round. Therefore, the number of emperor’s dragon robes was so large that they were thrown away after wearing, but not reused. Although it sounds quite wasteful, in fact, wearing a dragon robe is also a kind of ritual. When welcoming kings or emissaries of other countries, a king’s long robe also contributes to showing the cultural – economic – educational level of the whole country. Therefore, the investment in dragon robes is extremely worthwhile even though it is a huge amount of money.

The girl innocently went through many harsh events of fate.

Challenge of fate

Born in 1999 in Hoang Chau commune (Cat Hai island district, Hai Phong), fishermen’s parents are fishermen day and night, often stay away for a month, since the age of 1, Phuong has lived with his grandmother and uncle. . When Phuong was 8 years old, his older brother was 16 years old, his parents were permanently away from the sea once. Phuong was brought up by her uncle, then raised by her grandmother.

During her childhood years, her grandmother and her whole family were the people who always stood by Phuong. Until Phuong entered 10th grade, her grandmother also passed away due to serious illness.

The pain of losing her has not ceased, in 2016, while in grade 11, a terrible accident struck, Phuong broke his left leg, his right arm was crushed so he had to have surgery to remove it. The body and mind are both hurt, the mentality of the 16-year-old girl is unsteady, unsteady and uncertain. There was a time when Phuong was depressed and wanted to give up all.

“At that time, I thought I had nothing to lose, the people I loved most had left, and this was what happened to me. The last moon is also composed, then die for everyone to be less miserable ”, Phuong recounted the saddest, most desperate moment.

Can’t give up

During the long treatment at the hospital, when she was calmer, Phuong “enlightened”: “If heaven has been challenged, he cannot surrender”.

Looking at the situation of the people in the same hospital room, she felt that she was still luckier than many people, because there were family members trying to cure her; I am still young, I can still try.

Not surrendering to the test of fate, the young girl began a series of days of struggle to overcome both physical and mental pain. In the hospital for 18 days, undergoing painful treatments, facing the pitiful eyes of the world, Phuong accepted the truth: his life from now on has only one arm left.

Being right-handed, now losing that arm, Phuong has to learn how to do things with his left hand to adapt to the situation. She gets used to all activities and practice writing, determined to continue going to school.

After leaving the hospital, Phuong persistently practiced writing and daily activities with his left hand.

Working with your left hand is difficult, practicing writing with your left hand is even more difficult. Many nights, her arm seems numb, the hand in pain can no longer hold a pen, but, determined to “learn a new person, learn a strong new one”, Phuong is even more determined to return to the classroom, even though she has to undergo through many difficulties ahead.

“When I first got back to school, I just wanted to cry, cry because of the intense hand pain, cry because the writing was not fast to catch up with my friends. When I finished crying, I tried to practice again because I couldn’t just take it.” Body defect is the reason to be lazy “- Phuong shared.

Sometimes, Phuong feels inferior in the eyes of people with disabilities, but with her strongest will, she persists in her study path to prove to everyone that she is not a useless person, no. surrender to fate.

Once a student who specializes in exams with clean words, Phuong tried her best to practice writing with his left hand, determined not to quit school after losing his right hand in an accident.

Then, Phuong graduated from Cat Hai High School. The young girl who has adopted the dream of becoming a pharmacist with the desire to alleviate the pain for the patient should choose the pharmacy major of Ha Dong Medical College to suit her academic capacity and ability to meet her future job.

“When I first studied, I felt sorry for myself and at times was discouraged. I have to bear the scrutiny of everyone, trying to mingle with you. Furthermore, many practical lessons have to be done with two hands, since there is only one side left, so I have to work twice as hard as the others …

However, pursuing a dream is the greatest joy. The most memorable memory is the direct participation in the preparation of drugs, I have the experience of feeling like a real pharmacist, encouraged by teachers and friends to overcome all difficulties. At that time, I was sure that studying pharmacy was the right choice, “said Phuong, about the challenging student days with both pensive and proud feelings.

Currently, Phuong graduated from Ha Dong Medical College after 3 years studying and is working in a pharmacy in Hanoi.

Graduating from a college in pharmacy since November 2020, Phuong is currently working for a pharmacy in Hanoi.

Want to live not just for yourself

“Currently, my daily life or work is done quite well with my left hand, no longer hurts. I’m happy that everyone around me looks at me like a normal person, not a disabled person. “, Phuong said.

Sharing about her future plans, Phuong wishes to participate in more volunteer projects to help the children who have had an unlucky fate.

Thanh Phuong participates in volunteer activities, helping children at Tan Trieu K Hospital with Hoa Uu Dam Club and students from Ha Dong Medical College.

“That pretty girl laughs very often. Through many times of losing loved ones and having such serious accidents, Phuong has surpassed all with energy and bravery. Not everyone is determined enough to reach out.” In my opinion, she is very good, admirable! “, Mrs. Hoan – Phuong’s neighbor emotionally shared.

Looking back on past events, Thanh Phuong re-contemplates life with very optimistic thoughts: “After all, I see more than I lost. When I was so tired, wanted to give up, I thought, gave up.” That is a waste of “work” that parents have sacrificed. Thinking that the destination is ahead, coming to the destination, the positive energy will come and will definitely succeed. If it is sunny, the stormy day will turn blue. If there is only one life to live, I want to live not only for myself “.
