They have been married for nearly half a century (in 1975) but have never argued or raised their voices, and have always been an example for the neighbors to learn from. Only when you visit their house can you see how warmly the husband pampers his wife and the wife pampers his husband. Despite their advanced age, both of them are clear-headed and lucid, still watching TV shows and reading newspapers every day. He was a pre-revolutionary cadre who studied at the University of Literature, so he likes to read books and newspapers, can write calligraphy, and even writes poetry.
There are still a few days left until Vietnamese Women's Day (October 20), but he wrote a poem for his wife, in which he wrote: "I am poor and have no money/But I married a fairy on earth". He attributed his life to his capable wife, "She is both a wife and a maid/A doctor and a banker". She also writes poetry, and has had articles published in the newspaper "Vietnamese Women". And more interestingly, they both worked as actors in TV series such as "Winter Lullaby" and "Sunshine Love". She said that when the film crew came to her house to choose the setting, they saw the scene of the two of them taking care of each other, so they invited them to act in the scene of her taking care of him in the hospital.
In the morning, she wakes up early to measure his blood pressure, gives him turmeric mixed with honey to drink, prepares breakfast, gives him liver and brain tonics, and then they both exercise. At 10am, she gives him another glass of milk before making lunch. In the afternoon, they watch TV together, then exercise again… He also enjoys taking care of bonsai trees and is so good at it that anyone in the area who has a difficult tree to grow will bring it to him for help.
Life goes on like that, simple and peaceful.
