Vietnam couple who survived devastating crash together prove power of love

Nguyen Thi Mong Nghi and her husband have been working hard to rebuild their lives together ever since a traffic accident left her with a prosthetic leg. November 11, 2011 was an unforgettable date for Nghi. Heavy rains and slick roads made driving difficult, yet Nghi’s husband was still willing to drive his wife home from work by motorbike. Neither suspected that short trip home would change their lives forever. A lifelong commitment Prior to that day, Nghi and her husband Cuong had both made a living as factory workers in Binh Chanh District on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. Every evening, the couple would drive home to their rented room together to spend time with their newborn son. But life changed for Nghi and Cuong on November 11, 2011, when a truck driver lost control amid the torrential downpour and crashed into the couple’s motorbike. It was not until Nghi was at the hospital that she finally regained consciousness and learned she had lost an entire leg in the crash. Doctors also told her she had a fractured skull and such severe head trauma that it was a miracle she was still alive. Fearing her injuries would be nothing but a burden to her husband, Nghi insisted on a divorce. “She just couldn't come to terms with her new reality,” Cuong said. “But the idea of letting go of her never crossed my mind, not even once. "After all that we've been through together, I figured out that I had already put so much effort into convincing her to date and marry me, so why give up now?” Cuong, the devoted husband, has been by her side ever since. Ten years on, Cuong, 44, and Nghi, 41, are still struggling to rebuild their lives, but say their love is stronger than ever. Nghi is able to walk again and the couple now live a ‘nomadic life,' moving between jobs in Ben Tre Province, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dong Nai Province. Their son now lives with Cuong’s parents. Nghi also runs a small hair salon at her rented room on Cach Mang Thang …

Korean men caught at ‘wife shop’ in Saigon

Police in Ho Chi Minh City raided a hotel on Thursday and caught four South Korean men picking wives from a group of six Vietnamese girls at an illegal marriage brokerage service. Preliminary investigations revealed that the service was organized by a group of brokers led by a South Korean man, who connected Vietnamese girls with foreign husbands. The group changed location repeatedly in HCMC and Binh Duong Province to escape authorities. Cases of Vietnamese women offering themselves as wives for Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese men are not uncommon in Vietnam. Most of these girls come from poor families and have a vision of a better life overseas. Media reports suggest that many young Vietnamese women meet their future South Korean husbands through illegal brokerage services. Statistics show that almost 40 percent of those marriages end in divorce within five years. Some blame cultural and language differences for the break-ups, while others say they have been abused by their husbands and new families. According to immigration data published by The Korea Times , 147,295 Vietnamese people were living in South Korea at the end November last year, accounting for 7.4 percent of all expats. …

Guardiola inspires Man City masterclass, Liverpool face Everton test

Guardiola inspires Man City masterclass, Liverpool face Everton test (Photo: Youtube/ BeanymanSports) Liverpool were expected to push City all the way but the champions have stumbled so badly that their only concern going into the Merseyside derby against Everton is getting back into the top four. Chelsea, in action at Southampton, hold that lucrative fourth Champions League berth thanks to an impressive unbeaten start to Thomas Tuchel's reign. Guardiola's masterpiece When the final whistle blew on Manchester City's 17th successive victory in all competitions, Pep Guardiola was one step closer to the most impressive feat of his five years in the Premier League. City's composed 3-1 dismissal of Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday left them 10 points clear of second-placed Manchester United with 14 games left. They are the first English top-flight side to begin a calendar year with 10 successive league wins. Guardiola has already won two Premier League titles, three League Cups and the FA Cup with City. But finding a way to navigate through City's poor start to the season while also dealing with the loss of all-time leading scorer Sergio Aguero for most of the campaign and a significant Covid-19 outbreak in the camp burnishes his legacy. Guardiola's astute tactical tweaks have been key to the revival, but he knows the dangers of resting on his laurels during a hectic programme. "Winning 10 straight games at the start of the calendar year is nice but next is Arsenal," he said. "It's better you don't see the schedule, otherwise you get depressed. But at the same time, it's a beautiful challenge." Liverpool revenge mission As Virgil van Dijk lay in agony on the Goodison Park turf, Liverpool's season began a painful decline that still haunts them five months later. Van Dijk has not played since suffering knee damage after an ugly challenge from Everton keeper Jordan Pickford during that 2-2 draw in October. The absence of the imperious …
