“I was sold as a wife for this man, a poor family, and in a remote village. During the first year I cried a lot, always calling my parents and siblings. Every time I cry and homesickness, every time I was beaten by this husband ” - Ms. Hoa recalled.
Unable to bear the scene of being a wife and beaten, she fled out. Because in remote areas, she did not know the language, she was only around the forest and was arrested shortly afterwards. “When I was arrested, my husband continued to beat and grabbed my little finger. Since then I did not dare to do anything else and accept fate. During the long time of being imprisoned in the house, I gave birth to a son. Currently, the son also married and had 2 grandchildren ” - Ms. Hoa said.

After that, once Ms. Hoa was selling goods at the market, she met a Vietnamese -speaking woman (a trader buying). Immediately, Ms. Hoa recounted her story and wrote the names of family members, writing the address in the countryside for help.
Mr. Le Ngoc Hao (SN 1975, Mrs. Hoa's brother) said that until now, it has not been over when recalling the time when a stranger came home to ask for information of his family and younger sister. “That day was the 5th day of the Lunar New Year, there were two people (one male, one female) riding a car to the door of my house to ask Mr. Xuyen's house, with a child who was a hero, Mr. Hao. I am right in my house, the woman said that his family was in China, I thought of my sister immediately. I immediately shouted and called my father and everyone to come. Then the whole family was able to talk video by phone, when everyone cried at that time, ”Mr. Hao recalled.
Until dawn on the 6th of the Lunar New Year, 7 siblings of Mr. Hao and the bride, the son -in -law and the children rented a bus to Mong Cai and Quang Ninh border gates. At 16:00 on the same day, the whole family welcomed Ms. Hoa. “When I met, I looked at my sister immediately, because it was like my mother and two younger sisters. Unfortunately, Hoa's second husband also returned to Vietnam with his wife, but because there was no papers, he could not pass the border and had to come back ” - Mr. Hao said.
It is known that the day Ms. Hoa returned to her homeland, the whole family built a theater, rented tables and chairs and speakers to celebrate, invited people and neighbors to come together to have fun in happiness.
