Thousands of compliments for Duyen's efforts.

An article about the extraordinary resilience of Le Thao Duyen. The article received a huge amount of interaction from readers. Thousands of links to the article were shared from the Tuổi Trẻ Fanpage and many other community group fanpages on social media. Hundreds of comments expressed admiration, surprise, and love for the girl who, despite having little chance of a future, endured so much sorrow and hardship, yet never gave up.

Reader Hoai Nhon commented, "I cried before I finished reading your story. I wish you good health, faith, and success. Keep trying! Everyone loves you and your child."

Another reader exclaimed, "After reading the article, did you cry? I cried my eyes out. I will follow Duyen and Gao's future. I'm sure Duyen and her daughter will succeed."

Many readers have expressed a desire to help Duyen on her journey ahead, and this love continues to grow.

The article about Duyen was widely shared on social media, and many people in Tinh Minh commune and surrounding areas who knew about Duyen's situation were deeply moved.

Colonel Vo Van Duong, deputy director of the Quang Ngai Provincial Police, wrote on his personal Facebook page: "Admirable, a role model of overcoming difficulties in everyday life! Thank you to Tuoi Tre newspaper for bringing this person to readers near and far. Hopefully, philanthropists and readers near and far will support her in continuing her education."

Just like Colonel Duong, the posts on social media were full of emotion, and everyone was moved and admired Duyen's turbulent life and extraordinary efforts.

Teacher Le Thien Tinh, who "brought" Duyen back to school, said that Duyen's situation was nothing new and that he had been with her for many years, cooking for Duyen and Gao, providing support and guidance. However, when he read the article about his student, Teacher Tinh was moved to tears.

"All day, I've been opening Facebook and seeing Duyen's story. I hope the community will show love and support for Duyen and Gao. My own life isn't well-off, so I can only help Duyen with moral support. I hope kindhearted people will help Duyen overcome this difficult period and enter university. I'm sure that if she can get into university, she will definitely succeed."

At times, Duyen felt overwhelmed by the love she received. She never thought she would receive so much attention from everyone. - Photo taken on the afternoon of August 17th: TRAN MAI

Received a 'shower of love' while picking vegetables at the temple.

On the morning of August 17th, after dropping Gạo off at school, Lê Thảo Duyên went to Thiên Ấn Pagoda (Quảng Ngãi City) to do volunteer work and light incense in remembrance of her deceased parents and grandmother. While Duyên was picking vegetables, an older sister, a former student of Ba Gia High School, shared a post on her personal page and tagged Duyên.

Her older sister congratulated Duyen and encouraged her to try even harder. That same morning, Duyen received a "flood" of encouraging messages. "I also read the article about myself and... cried. Normally, I feel fine, but now I remember how much I've suffered, how many heartbreaking things I've gone through."

Having received so much love, Duyen felt indebted to life. It turned out that everyone was still following Duyen's journey, still showing love for this strong-willed girl.

Duyen spent all day yesterday at Thien An Pagoda, reflecting on herself and missing her parents. She wished her parents were by her side at this moment to comfort and console her.

Many calls from people who knew Duyen before brought her back to reality.

Duyen received hundreds of messages of support, but she didn't have the courage to reply to everyone.

"There were uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters from the local area, former students of the school, old acquaintances... who called and messaged to encourage me and wanted to support me on my next steps. I didn't think my efforts would receive so much meaningful support," Duyen said.

She also said she had to try harder, to overcome the challenges on her own, and move towards the future so that her life and the life of Gạo - Duyên's son - would no longer be filled with hardship and lack of love.

The mother and daughter will move forward.

Duyen shared that she received words of encouragement and gifts from some acquaintances. Everyone hoped that Duyen would not succumb to fate and would remain as strong as she had been before.

Scrolling through hundreds of messages, Duyen said, "Now, even if I wanted to stop, I couldn't. I won't let down the love everyone has shown me."

Through Tuoi Tre newspaper, Duyen expressed her gratitude to the "Supporting Students to School" scholarship for connecting her with kind hearts. Duyen promised to try her best, overcome her pain and sorrow, and reach the shores of success. "At least I will graduate from university, so as not to disappoint anyone who has shown me kindness," Duyen said.

While chatting, Duyen kept mentioning Gạo, her child whom she said had suffered many hardships because Duyen wasn't financially stable enough to provide for her child like other children her age. Her eyes welled up with tears as she spoke about Gạo.

Duyen said she had already suffered enough, and now she just wanted to move forward. She wanted to live a meaningful life, so that when she looked back, she would have had a meaningful journey, and the name Le Thao Duyen would always be a beautiful story in everyone's memory.

Duyen has repeatedly expressed her gratitude to everyone through Tuoi Tre newspaper. She doesn't dare promise wealth or success, but she promises to do her best, and no matter what tomorrow brings, she will never give up.

It remains the same Duyen of lonely days, striving to get through each day, each segment of her destiny.
