Khanh HoaWhen she got to know Tri Nguyen, Kha Ai was still pretending to be a girl to sing. To come to him, he had to go through painful operations and people’s prejudices.
On the evening of March 20, when Kha Ai finished his song, applause erupted in the courtyard of the cultural house in Dien Thanh commune, Dien Khanh district. The singer wiped her emotional tears. In the corner, her husband, Tri Nguyen, was also crying. Just hours before this show, the two had an engagement ceremony.

Kha Ai’s birth name is Luong Duc Cuong. From the age of three, a boy from Lien Huong, Binh Thuan clearly expressed his desire to become a girl. In 2012, he decided to drop out of acting school in Saigon to join a bingo group. The whole family advised not to go, worried that Kha Ai could not stand the sight of rice porridge in the market, even harder while his career as an MC in the countryside was very good. “But in my hometown, I couldn’t wear girls clothes, couldn’t wear makeup and live true to myself, so I was still determined to go,” she said.
The next morning, Ai followed the group to Dong Nai. He brought eight folding chairs and a plywood board that his mother had prepared so he would have sheets under the stage every night.
With her beautiful voice and sense of humor, Kha Ai’s ubiquitous performing troupe also receives love. Thinking that her hair was still short, her body was still raw, but she was loved as such, Ai grew more and more confident in the path she chose. After 5 years of singing, she had enough money to enlarge her breasts, began to step on the path of “re-discovering her true self”.
In 2019, Kha Ai returned to Dien Thanh commune, Dien Khanh, Khanh Hoa province to perform and met Tri Nguyen, a militia member sent down by the commune to perform. Standing on the stage, the singer laughed every time he saw a man who was afraid to “run away” when bullied by his sister. transgender in the joke group.
Night after night in a place where the lights were bright, he kept staring at her subconsciously. One day, when she was doing her makeup early, as soon as she saw Nguyen go upstairs, she ran over to ask her to be friends on Facebook. That night, the two of them talked for a long time. At the time, she didn’t know that Tri Nguyen was afraid of other transgender people, but she sympathized with Ai, because she liked her performance on stage and considered her the most feminine in the group. Before saying goodbye, he promised to take her out tomorrow morning at 7am.
The first time I dated a guy, Ai was restless and couldn’t sleep, woke up at 4am. The two of them have fun going to the movies and playing at the mall. Since then they have been sending messages more often. Tri Nguyen increasingly understands and feels sorry for the soul of the girl who wants to get rid of Ai’s outer form.
After knowing each other for about a month, Kha Ai received a call from a cosmetic program in Hanoi inviting her to attend a free surgery program. Because the phone was confiscated by the committee, the two of them lost contact for 20 days. On the day of receiving the call, Tri Nguyen was shocked because his face was covered in ice. jackfruit. She cries in pain. He also cried because he missed.
After a month and a half apart, they welcomed each other and returned to their hometown of Binh Thuan. Khanh Hoa youth was very surprised to see Ai had just returned to the village and many people asked about him. “Seeing the kids following in her footsteps, saying I remember and blaming for not coming back, I liked Ai even more,” she admits. Since then, the two have fallen in love secretly.
In early 2020, Tri Nguyen left military service. Three days before leaving, he told his mother: “I fell in love with a transgender person.” Mrs. Bich Thao, her mother, lost her temper, called the girl and begged: “You let her go. You are older than her, consider them sisters. She has been in the army for two years, you forget her. Father is very difficult. If she finds out , he will destroy the house…”.
But what surprised Mrs. Thao is when Nguyen’s father found out, he supported him. “If they love each other, let them love each other. As long as they are happy, there is no difference,” he said. Even after watching Kha Ai sing, he also praised “like a girl, her voice is also feminine”.

So far from her lover, Covid-19 broke out, travel and shows had to stop. Kha Ai decides to borrow money from Thailand to carry out the final surgery. Never had he felt pain like this, to the point of wanting to end his life at one point. “But thinking about the promise to wait for him for two years, I tried to work it out,” he said.
As for Madam Thao, after thinking about it for a while love children, it is no longer difficult to accept as before. Knowing that Ai had just experienced some pain, he took the initiative to call to check her health and then told her: “When you come back, come home, I will cook delicious food for you”.
On the day of his return, Kha Ai stopped by his girlfriend’s house, sat down to eat with his uncle and aunt. Thao’s mother encouraged her to stay at her home to recuperate after the surgery, as returning to the group was unhygienic. Knowing that he couldn’t sing because of Covid-19, his grandparents gave him money to pay for the surgery and expenses.
After three months as a rookie, Thao invited Kha Ai to Gia Lai to visit Nguyen. They were shocked when Nguyen turned black and lost 15 kg. Since then, every weekend Ai quits her job to visit her boyfriend. Every time she came to the unit, he brought a lot of nutritious food for her to regain her previous weight.
That year, Tri Nguyen did not return, but his parents still took Ai home, took her to the cemetery and visited her grandparents. “If when Nguyen fulfills his obligations, the children still love each other, aunt and uncle will arrange a proper marriage for both of them,” said Thao and her husband, after some time confirming Kha Ai’s personality and love. .to their son.

In the context of the Covid-19 outbreak, months of not being able to perform, Kha Ai fell in love with the livestream profession. His charming way of talking helped him build a name quickly, earning him money to pay off his operating debts and buy furniture for his motel room.
Tri Nguyen continued to study further after two years of service, but the young man just wanted to return soon to get married. The couple got engaged on March 20 and will tie the knot on April 30.
Now the couple is working hard. During the day, Kha Ai works as a streamer, while Nguyen works as a carpenter, and at night, he invites her to sing. They plan to earn money next year and build a house on the land given to them by their parents.
“Then we will ask for children so that we can have a wife and husband and have children like any other family,” the couple said.
