Appearing in "Love Station" with a bright and outstanding red shirt, Mr. Pham Sy Long confidently introduced himself as the guest of the program and cleverly led MC Minh Hang to the appearance.

Since lying in one place, Pham Sy Long has also faced other diseases such as: necrosis due to lying in one place, having to have his thigh cut for treatment, broken leg, broken arm, having to be hospitalized for emergency care, and poisoning. Painful and helpless, he once thought he was a victim of society.
Remembering the time when I was helpless, self-conscious for myself and there were times when I poured out my anger on my mother, Pham Sy Long's eyes widened: "There was a time when I wanted to end my life, I broke my belongings while my mother was taking care of me. Then I saw my mother suffering because I was so much, gradually I thought more positively. I started singing to relieve my psychological stress....
Once watching TV and seeing a disabled person writing with his feet, Pham Sy Long uocished he could write. People who don't have hands write with their feet, and you don't have both hands and feet, so you write with your mouth.
