Since childhood, Nguyen Phuc Duc's life had to face a major change when he lost his right arm in a sudden accident in the 6th grade. This incident not only left him with physical pain but also caused great mental damage. From a lively boy, Phuc Duc became withdrawn and self-conscious.
Having lost part of his right arm, Phuc Duc had to start learning to write again with his remaining arm. With extraordinary effort, the boy mastered the skills with his remaining left arm and continued his education.

After many years of searching for opportunities for himself, studying at many schools but not suitable for his disabled hands, in 2021, Phuc Duc decided to take the entrance exam to the Faculty of Tourism, University of Science , Thai Nguyen University. This choice became a turning point in Duc's life, from a self-conscious boy, afraid to communicate with people, Phuc Duc found strength in his heart when participating in volunteer activities at school and in the locality. Those activities not only helped Phuc Duc become more open but also showed Phuc Duc the value of sharing and helping others.
In the program, Phuc Duc shared about the act of donating blood to save lives. Although it was his first time donating blood, Phuc Duc was a bit shy, but when he learned that what he was doing could save many lives, as long as he kept to the prescribed time, Phuc Duc registered to donate blood.
Up to now, at the age of 27, Phuc Duc has donated blood 30 times, each time as a small gift to help save the lives of patients. “Giving is forever” – that is Phuc Duc’s motto in life, clearly demonstrated through his tireless dedication to the community. In particular, Phuc Duc has personally created a very unique national flag using 30 of his blood donation certificates, as a way to express national pride and affirm the spirit of “the whole leaves cover the torn leaves” of the Vietnamese people.
Besides blood donation, Phuc Duc also inspires many other young people through volunteer clubs. Phuc Duc is currently the Vice President of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Red Cross Youth Association. With a gentle smile and a tolerant heart, Phuc Duc has turned his life story into a motivation for many people around him.

The unexpected appearance of his teacher and classmates, along with the Blood Donation Club, opened up many interesting stories about this young man who is passionate about community activities.
