A Beautiful Visit

Miss Vietnam Mai Phuong Thuy stopped by Thien Nhan's house in Hanoi for a surprise visit yesterday. Miss Phuong Thuy had first met Thien Nhan on August 8th, a few days before the toddler left Vietnam to have surgery in the US. On that occasion the beauty queen had shared her birthday cake with Thien Nhan, cheering him up after a round of medical tests.

This time, the 20-year-old Miss chatted and played with Thien Nhan and his big brother, Little Minh, 3, who recently got five stitches in his forehead after crashing into a table. Miss Phuong Thuy reported being pleased to find Thien Nhan healthy, happy and getting bigger.

Sweet Moments

Not only did Thien Nhan spend yesterday afternoon in the company of Miss Vietnam, he also got to share the beauty queen's birthday cake! Ms. Mai Phuong Thuy celebrated her 20th birthday with Thien Nhan and other fans at a book signing in Hanoi. A successful model, Ms. Phuong Thuy is donating proceeds from the sales of her new photo book and DVD towards Thien Nhan's medical expenses.

True Beauty

Miss Vietnam Mai Phuong Thuy announced that she will donate all proceeds from her just-published photo book Phu Nu va Tuong (Women and Classical Drama) and DVD 'Hoa Dong Noi" (Countryside Flower) to help fund Thien Nhan's medical care. The compassionate beauty queen read about Thien Nhan in a local newspaper and decided to help out. On August 6th, which is Miss Phuong Thuy's 20th birthday, she will greet fans and sign books from 4-5pm at the The Thao & Van Hoa office at 33 Le Thanh Tong Street, Hanoi. Thien Nhan will attend the signing and meet his new heroine Miss Vietnam. Thank you Miss Mai Phuong Thuy! (The photo shows Miss Phuong Thuy holding tuong opera masks).
