“These are my dad’s feet, and the clothes he wears every day. Nobody would think he managed to send me to RMIT University. Because my father always has to work hard, you can see me working day and night. Working hard is the virtue handed down from father to daughter," the daughter says in voice-over in her video about daily work of her father and herself.

The video which shows the father’s love towards her daughter has caught special attention from the public these days.

With humble appearance and stained feet, the father can fund the daughter’s study at a school which requires high tuition. His daughter, who understands the sacrifice of the father, makes every effort to study and work well.

The video that has attracted thousands of views and likes for Tran Thi Ai Vy, born in 1997. Her father, the man in the video, is Tran Van Loc, born in 1971, in Don Duong district in Lam Dong province.

Several days ago, Vi posted an article about her father which said that he had finished the fifth grade and then began grazing cows to earn his living. At the age of 15, he began going to the forests to dig up trees. At the age of 24, he married and had a daughter two years later.

The man has had a busy working schedule since her birth. 

Graduating from high school, Vi passed the entrance exam to Tay Nguyen Medical University. However, she studied only one year at the school and left it.

One day, she saw images about RMIT University. The father, when realizing his daughter’s wish to study at the school, promised that he would work hard to fund her study there. 

Encouraged by the father, Vi studied Digital Marketing at RMIT with tuition of VND29 million for one subject. The total number of subjects she had was 26.

“I paid tuition in periods and I learned three subjects during each period. My father had to sell three cows to have money for tuition each period,” she said about the father who is always eager to learn and wants his children to have higher education.

After graduating from university, Vi continued studying for a master’s degree with a 50 percent scholarship. She now works in the marketing industry, and teaches people how to use TikTok channel.
