The story of Supported Fate aired in episode 25 not only makes viewers choked up, but also shows that sometimes, lost love affairs can still find each other again, if trust and memories have never faded.
Xuan Thu and Tan Thanh first met on a HCMC - Binh Duong bus (at that time), when she had just finished her class. In that short moment, Mr. Tan Thanh gave a seat to Ms. Xuan Thu. Without a phone, without social networks, the two just had time to ask for each other's home addresses, hoping to meet again.
Sharing with MC Dinh Toan, Mr. Tan Thanh said that his initial impression of Ms. Xuan Thu was her small, easy-to-love figure. That kindness motivated him to proactively find ways to contact and arrange a time to visit her house after one to two months. From then on, the two began to get to know each other, meet each other on weekends, and quietly foster feelings in the midst of life full of deprivation.
However, that relationship was soon broken when Mr. Tan Thanh's family had to move due to current circumstances. Communication became impossible. Ms. Xuan Thu continued her teaching work, quietly waiting, but due to family pressure and worries about her passeding years, she decided to get married at the age of 30.
As for Mr. Tan Thanh, he also dated someone else but did not get married, when that person later went abroad.
Dr. Nguyen Huu Long commented that in communication science, just the first 30 seconds of meeting is enough to form a feeling of love - hate in the subconscious. He said that it was very possible that from the moment on the bus that year, Mr. Tan Thanh had a deep sympathy for Ms. Xuan Thu - an image he had followed for many years afterwards.
The reunion happened when the two accidentally met again in Taiwan (China). Mr. Tan Thanh was the one who recognized Ms. Xuan Thu first and took the initiative to start a conversation at the airport.
When MC Dinh Toan asked if he had found the woman from the past, Mr. Tan Thanh frankly shared that he had found her old address, her old house, but her family had moved a long time ago.
Although he has met many people, his memory always remembers the image of Mrs. Xuan Thu.
According to Dr. Nguyen Huu Long, this is a manifestation of the "unconscious theory" - when an image is deeply imprinted in the subconscious, it is difficult for people to establish a new emotional connection.
Ms. Xuan Thu emotionally said that when they met again, she was 60 years old, meaning that Mr. Tan Thanh had been waiting for that image for almost his whole life.
After the reunion, everything went naturally. The two talked, shared and gradually became connected, before deciding to go together. Ms. Xuan Thu said that the children were all grown up and supported her mother's decision. Being straightforward and respecting each other helped the two get married with a cozy party at home.
Sharing about their current married life, the couple said that there were almost no arguments. Mr. Tan Thanh said that whenever he was not happy, Mrs. Xuan Thu's smile always helped relieve all stress.
According to Dr. Nguyen Huu Long, understanding, tolerance and being willing to give each other smiles are the foundation for a lasting marriage, especially when the two have passed almost their entire lives.
