Anh Vien and the touching story of her life

Former swimmer Nguyen Thi Anh Vien tells the story of her life through emotional images on her personal page, creating inspiration for Vietnamese youth.

"Live honestly and believe that you can do it. And keep striving to reach your dreams!", Anh Vien wrote on her personal page.

Along with this sharing, the former Vietnamese swimmer selected images that have been associated with her competitive career as well as her life. The "Little Mermaid" cherishes every moment, every success and even every failure.

Training 8-9 hours a day caused Anh Vien to develop muscles, and her skin also became darker due to sun exposure and chemical treatments. She used to be very confident about her appearance.

Ánh Viên recounted the long days spent away from home, the arduous training. She cried a lot when her life revolved solely around training, and she couldn't go home to celebrate Tet (Lunar New Year) with her parents.

Ánh Viên is happy to have brought so much glory to her country. She is the athlete with the most SEA Games gold medals in the history of Vietnamese sports (25 gold medals).

But then Anh Vien decided to retire from the national team to pursue a different dream and be herself...

Ánh Viên is happy to teach children how to swim.

She overcame many challenges.

From a muscular athlete, Anh Vien has transformed into a beautiful and charming young woman.

"No one truly fails unless they accept defeat," Anh Vien asserted.
