01:19 [Mi An Hung Be, Lap Gio District, Dong Thap Province]
01:23 Hello everyone, I'm at Mi An Hung Be, Lap Gio District, Dong Thap Province.
01:28 Today I'm going to show you around a house called "Moc's house".
01:35 This is the house of a girl, which is often called "Colorful Girl".
01:40 Because her bones are very hard and easy to break, like a crystal.
01:47 She has a special talent, her craft is making flowers.
01:52 She makes all kinds of flowers with paper.
01:57 Now let's go visit her.
02:02 Trang!
02:06 Hello!
02:08 Hello!
02:10 This is Trang.
02:13 She has visited my house before.
02:18 How are you?
02:19 I'm fine.
02:20 How long have you been here?
02:24 I think it was July last year.
02:27 So it's been over a year.
02:29 Yes, it's been a year.
02:30 How are you?
02:32 I'm still fine.
02:34 How about your work?
02:37 I'm still working every day.
02:40 But this year is a bit slower than last year.
02:45 Do you have a live stream or something to let people know more?
02:52 Sometimes I do have a live stream on TikTok.
02:55 But I'm not happy with it.
02:59 I don't know how to interact with people.
03:03 So I'm a bit shy.
03:05 So I don't have many live streams.
03:08 How about your orders?
03:12 I only sell on Facebook.
03:15 I don't sell on other platforms.
03:18 I also post on TikTok.
03:21 I'm happy to get attention from people.
03:25 But it's not enough on TikTok.
03:28 I need to have my products ready.
03:30 But I don't have many ready-made products.
03:32 You only start making when you have your order?
03:35 Yes.
03:36 You can't make a lot of products.
03:38 No, I can't.
03:39 I can't guarantee my health.
03:43 It takes a lot of time to make a handmade product.
03:46 Why do you want to make paper flowers?
03:50 I think it's fate.
03:55 I don't think I'm talented.
03:58 But in 2018 or 2019,
04:03 I thought I was old enough.
04:06 I needed a job that suits me.
04:09 But I didn't know what to do.
04:12 My hands were weak and I wasn't talented.
04:15 I saw this product on YouTube.
04:18 It was interesting.
04:20 So I started to learn.
04:22 I started with origami.
04:25 I learned origami first.
04:27 Origami is a kind of paper.
04:29 Yes, origami.
04:30 I also learned how to make flowers.
04:31 But it wasn't popular.
04:34 People didn't know much about it.
04:36 So I started to make flowers with paper.
04:39 At first, I couldn't make it.
04:42 It was hard.
04:44 I couldn't make it.
04:46 I thought I had to spend a year to learn.
04:50 Then I was confident enough to launch it.
04:55 I was lucky that people liked it.
04:59 Did you feel discouraged or want to give up?
05:06 Yes.
05:07 I was discouraged when I made too many.
05:12 I made dozens of flowers but I couldn't use them all.
05:17 I wanted to make it.
05:20 I wanted to make it but I didn't dare to sell it.
05:23 I thought it was hard to find a suitable job.
05:29 I had to try to make it.
05:33 I had to make it if I couldn't.
05:35 I had to be determined.
05:37 I was determined to make it.
05:40 I thought I would make a lot of them.
05:43 It would be a habit.
05:45 I wasn't good at it.
05:48 So you can make any kind of flowers?
05:54 Yes.
05:55 I haven't made any flower patterns.
05:59 But I will sit there and study.
06:01 I will be able to make it.
06:03 It's like that.
06:05 I don't have to follow the pattern.
06:08 I will do what I have learned.
06:12 Now I can make new patterns.
06:15 I see.
06:17 I see the pattern.
06:19 Yes.
06:20 I don't know how you made it.
06:23 I didn't think of it.
06:26 It has more than 200 petals.
06:28 Yes.
06:29 It's so detailed.
06:31 I cut the petals.
06:33 It will be a circle.
06:38 Then I put them in layers.
06:40 I think it's not for cutting petals.
06:44 It's for making the wings.
06:46 There is a stick to make the wings.
06:50 It's so difficult.
06:52 You have to move it around.
06:55 You use your tools.
06:58 This stick is for making the wings.
07:00 The stick has a circle.
07:02 I will use it to make the wings.
07:05 You just press it.
07:07 Yes.
07:08 It will make the wings.
07:11 It has more than 200 petals.
07:13 Do you remember the details?
07:15 I remember it has more than 240 petals.
07:18 It has more than 240 petals.
07:20 You have to put it in layers.
07:22 You have to press it.
07:25 Then you press it.
07:27 It will make the wings.
07:29 It's so difficult.
07:31 I think you can make this stick for a whole day.
07:34 No, I can make it for a few days.
07:36 A few days?
07:37 Yes.
07:38 I think it's difficult.
07:40 What flower is the most difficult to make?
07:43 Lotus.
07:44 Lotus?
07:45 Lotus behind your back.
07:48 If you look closely, it has tendon.
07:52 I drew it.
07:54 I drew it by hand.
07:58 I didn't use a machine.
08:03 It's a piece of paper.
08:05 I colored it.
08:08 I drew the tendon by hand.
08:11 How many petals does a lotus flower have?
08:17 People usually buy a big vase.
08:20 It takes me a week to make it.
08:23 A vase has 4 petals.
08:27 It has leaves and flowers.
08:30 How much do you charge for a vase?
08:36 It's about 1 million VND.
08:41 This is the value of creativity.
08:45 Plus the hard work of Trang.
08:49 It's hard for a normal person.
08:52 I can do it.
08:54 You're not as healthy as me.
08:58 But you're good at it.
09:00 Do people recognize your products from overseas?
09:06 Not many.
09:09 They just give me as a gift.
09:12 I haven't made a lot of them.
09:16 It's hard to move them around.
09:19 It's hard to make sure.
09:21 I can't move them around.
09:24 I can move a stone.
09:26 But some products are easy to lose.
09:29 I think people overseas...
09:33 They value handmade products.
09:36 For example, this vase is handmade.
09:40 They respect people's creativity.
09:45 What did you study?
09:49 Did you go to university?
09:51 No.
09:53 I can't go to school.
09:57 I studied at home.
10:00 My teacher taught me.
10:03 I had a broken bone.
10:07 I had to take a break.
10:09 I had to take a break for 6 months.
10:12 I had to study for a long time.
10:15 I studied until I was in grade 1.
10:18 I studied and read books.
10:24 I didn't go to school.
10:27 How old were you when you were born?
10:33 I was very innocent.
10:36 I played with my friends.
10:39 I was small.
10:41 I didn't know I couldn't walk.
10:43 I had a small bike.
10:45 I played with my friends.
10:47 I played with my friends.
10:49 I had a broken leg.
10:51 I didn't know I was small.
10:53 Many people came to my house.
10:57 They didn't say anything.
10:59 They said my house was a mess.
11:04 They said I couldn't raise my child.
11:08 They said many things.
11:10 I thought I was different from others.
11:16 I started to realize that.
11:18 I was feeling insecure.
11:22 Why did you overcome it?
11:25 I think I accepted it.
11:29 Many people asked me if I wanted to go back.
11:32 I really liked it.
11:34 But I knew I couldn't cure it.
11:40 I accepted it as a part of my life.
11:43 I did what I could to live better.
11:49 I tried to be a better person.
11:52 I didn't want to be sad.
11:56 How was your bone?
11:59 Was it easy to break?
12:03 Yes, it was.
12:05 I broke my ribs when I was a child.

12:35 I don't use a lot of medicine.
12:39 I'm more careful now.
12:42 I'm more careful now.
12:45 I used to break my bones every month.
12:50 I used to break my bones every month.
12:54 But I haven't broken them for years.
12:57 I'm careful now.
12:59 Did you ever lose your strength?
13:02 Yes.
13:03 I used to be late for work.
13:09 I had to be there in time for the rain.
13:13 I felt like I was losing my strength.
13:19 I thought if I didn't exist,
13:25 I wouldn't affect anyone.
13:27 I thought if I didn't exist,
13:30 I wouldn't affect anyone.
13:31 I felt like I had no value in life.
13:36 I couldn't find any value for my existence.
13:39 When I found out about social media,
13:44 I got to know my friends.
13:47 They were with me.
13:49 They were my inspiration.
13:51 I really respected them.
13:53 I really wanted to connect with them.
13:57 I wanted to talk to them.
14:01 I wanted to find motivation in life.

14:20 They all work as handmaids.
14:22 We have a small group of 5.
14:25 We talk to each other.
14:27 We help each other.
14:29 We understand each other's situation.

15:23 Yes, I am.
15:24 We live quite far from here.
15:25 Can you make a flower bouquet for us?
15:31 I used to make flowers by hand.
15:36 But when I sell a lot of products,
15:41 I use a tool to help me.
15:44 I make small flowers.
15:46 It's a frame.
