Although Thien has been visually-impaired since he was a child, he has overcome his handicap to become an outstanding music student. Thien is currently Vice Chairman of the Tam Viet Xam Singing Club – Vietnam’s first Xam singing club for the visually-impaired. 

"With a love of music and the encouragement of my parents, teachers, friends and relatives, I’ve overcome an inferiority complex and acquired greater confidence. I believe that if you’re optimistic and passionate and have the support of your community, even people with disabilities can have a bright future. I want to encourage people with disabilities to pursue knowledge and always have faith in life," said Thien.
