All her life, the mother only cared about working to raise her children, she never attended a parent-teacher meeting, nor left her hometown. The first time she left the village to go to her child's school was the day her child received his master's degree. The child knelt down to thank the mother who had sacrificed her life. As for the mother, her child's success has healed all the grievances of the past years. In the past few days, the news "Mrs. Chung's son Hoang Anh has a master's degree, he is about to continue studying for a doctorate" became a hot topic at Quan Lat market (Duc Chanh commune, Mo Duc district, Quang Ngai ), many people came to Mrs. Nguyen Thi Kim Chung's noodle stall (62 years old, Duc Nhuan commune, Mo Duc district) to congratulate her. "In my entire life, I have never been as happy and joyful as I have been in the past few days," said Mrs. Chung.

I am happiest because my child is doing very well. When I received his diploma, I saw that his teachers, colleagues, and friends all loved him. I believe he has grown up from poverty.

Chung Bun's son becomes a master

In the days before Tet, Mrs. Chung sat in a small corner of Quan Lat market selling noodles, some vendors in the market teased: "Wow, Mrs. Chung went to Binh Duong for a few days and looked ten years younger". Mrs. Chung smiled gently: "Don't tease me anymore. Any parent wouldn't be happy if their child was successful". The story of Nguyen Hoang Anh (26 years old, lecturer at Thu Dau Mot University, Mrs. Chung's son) just received a master's degree in law and is about to study for a doctorate in law with the topic "Vietnamese law on tourism promotion" was buzzing throughout the village. But it wasn't her bragging, it was teacher Ngo Khac Vu (teacher at Mo Duc 2 High School) who posted it on Facebook. Mr. Vu often came back and forth to encourage Mrs. Chung to focus on her child's studies, and when he had difficulties, he would call on benefactors to help. More than anyone, Mr. Vu knew the efforts of the mother and son. "Mrs. Chung is in poor health and lives in poverty. She is a typical example of a mother who lives her whole life for her children. I think this story inspires learning and filial piety for everyone, so I post it," said Mr. Vu.

Mother lives all her life for her children!

Her love life was not smooth. Hoang Anh was born from a forbidden love. Mrs. Chung quietly left the man of her life, working hard, living for her children. Poor, she worked hard to raise her children, the hunger hanging in the air did not allow her to rest. For 40 years at the market, Mrs. Chung has never taken a day off. Even though she was sick, she still tried her best to carry noodles to the market. So she took three consecutive market days off to go to Binh Duong to receive a master's degree with her child, the whole Quan Lat market was "shocked", not knowing what happened to her. A lifetime of worrying about food and clothing, since her child started school, she has never attended a parent-teacher meeting, not knowing how her child is doing in school. "I have to go to work to have money to buy rice", Mrs. Chung said. However, that mother has never once refused her child's request for money to go to school, to buy books. Many times when she had no money, she borrowed money from around the market, then sold noodles, worked for hire to pay it off gradually. As her child climbed each "ladder" of education, she silently followed behind. Mrs. Chung was illiterate. When her son was in 9th grade, he failed the transfer exam. Then, when she heard that he was going to study at the Continuing Education and Vocational Guidance Center of Mo Duc district, she kept thinking, why did he go to school if he didn't pass? But she didn't care, as long as he went to school, she encouraged him: "Try to study hard, it will be less difficult for you to have knowledge. I'm poor, but I can take care of you if you study."

I want my mother to smile more.

One day in late December 2023, Ms. Chung left her hometown for the first time. When she arrived in Binh Duong, and was taken to Ho Chi Minh City by her children, the mother from the countryside was overwhelmed by the city.

The day I received my diploma, she woke up very early, put on the most beautiful dress of her life, looked in the mirror several times, she felt strange and embarrassed with herself. In her hard life, she had never dressed so beautifully! Looking at her mother, Hoang Anh felt sorry, he said that she had worked so hard for him. If it weren't for that great sacrifice, he wouldn't have today. When receiving his diploma, Hoang Anh put on his mother's graduation gown. The young man knelt down to thank his mother for her great efforts. That moment was accidentally captured by a student of Thu Dau Mot University where Hoang Anh taught. Teacher Vu found the image so touching that he shared it on Facebook and received a "storm" of compliments and tearful comments from many people who knew the story of the mother and son. When he was young, life was too hard, Hoang Anh didn't care about studying. In grade 9, failing the entrance exam to grade 10 was a big shock. The child at that time regretted his negligence. He decided to start over, enrolling in the Mo Duc District Continuing Education and Vocational Guidance Center to continue his high school education. With his efforts, Hoang Anh received a scholarship. This scholarship changed his whole life. "At that time, I came home to show off, my mother was very happy. When I received the scholarship, I received encouragement. I understood that being born into poverty was fate, but living in poverty forever was my fault," Hoang Anh confided. From a child who did not consider studying important, Hoang Anh looked back, focused on studying, and in his free time went to the market to help his mother sell goods. In 2016, Hoang Anh passed the Economic Law major at Thu Dau Mot University. The poor student's luggage leaving his hometown was his mother's sweat-soaked money, along with her message: "Try to study, if you need money, tell me to send it". Hoang Anh promised his mother: "I will study to become a good person". And in May 2023, Hoang Anh defended his master's thesis in economic law with a score of 8.5/10. After that, he applied for a law lecturer position and was accepted by the board of directors of Thu Dau Mot University. Hoang Anh has been teaching since then. Currently, Hoang Anh is studying for a degree in two languages ​​and completing his doctoral degree in law. "My mother worked hard to raise me all her life and is associated with the name Mrs. Chung Bun. I hope my efforts will make my mother happy, and everyone will see the results of Mrs. Chung Bun's sacrifice," Hoang Anh said. Mrs. Chung left the city to return to her noodle stall at the rural market, and Hoang Anh continued his path. When asked what Mrs. Chung wished for her son, she said: "I hope he goes far away, no longer struggling like his poor childhood with his mother." As for Hoang Anh, after kneeling down to thank his mother for her great kindness, the new journey continued. The young man will strive to reach his goal of becoming an associate professor - doctor. And further, Hoang Anh wants to take his mother everywhere, to make her smile more, to make up for the difficult life he has had...

Knowing that his mother was having a hard time, Hoang Anh studied and worked part-time. He did many jobs, from tutoring to delivery, motorbike taxi, restaurant service... to earn money. But his main time was still spent studying. His mother in the countryside did not know what her son was studying, but still worked hard, and when he needed money, she sent him money. Deep down, Mrs. Chung was always afraid that her son would drop out of school because of difficulties. Hoang Anh did not let that worry come true. In 2020, after graduating from university, Hoang Anh continued to study for a master's degree, but his mother said: "Go ahead and study, I can take care of it." Mrs. Chung was absorbed in following her son, even though she did not fully understand what a master's degree was.
