Nguyen Van Manh


21-year-old Nguyen Van Manh's father, Nguyen Van Luu, got married and lived together in Nghe An Province. After Manh was born, his father left the family and found jobs in the south due to too many domestic disputes and poverty. According to Manh, his father left them a letter, saying that he would come back when his life got better but they heard nothing from him since then.

His father re-married years later and has four children before moving to Ha Tinh Province.

Manh also wrote that he only remembered a little about his father such as his name, his adoptive brother and their dispute. Manh always wanted to find his father even though his mother rarely talks about him.

His search for his father bore no fruit until July 25. Manh shared about his search on Facebook and 20 minutes later, he was given his father's address.

"I kept my search a secret from my mother because I don't want to make her sad. I didn't dare to go to the social networks before. I can't believe that I found my father in 20 minutes," Manh said.

Manh had immediately travelled from Vinh City to Nghi Xuan District, Ha Tinh Province to meet with his father. Manh said he wanted to know about his origins even though his parents were no longer together and had their own families.

"It's like a dream," he said.

Tran Thi Huong, chairwoman of Xuan Hai Commune's Woman Union said she accidentally read the notice on Facebook and recognised Luu's name as well as other residents in the commune. After verifying the information, she called and left the numbers.

"Myself and many others were moved when we witnessed their meeting. The communal leaders also visited and congratulated them," she said.
