But I think if everyone is afraid, also want to let others do it first, succeed only then they will do it, it will never be done. Now I know if the results are successful. Instead of dying slowly over the years, I want to dedicate my life to the country’s medicine, so I’m willing to take the risk.”.

After 6 years, Mr. Long still does not give up hope that Vietnam will soon be able to perform a head transplant.

Even now, many people, when they know my wish to donate their head, still prevent it because they feel “shocked and scared.” However, I have decided not to change my will. I always look forward to that surgery soon even though I know that I could die, even I have already written a will (laughs). big – PV)”.
Mr. Long said that an accident that happened 19 years ago had forced him to lie in one place. But it doesn’t take away the burning desire to walk again if the head transplant is successful.

The process of makingover changes oneself

“My life has had a lot of meaningful changes, I feel happier. Now I’m an inspirational speaker, a voice coach, training MC and the best part is I had a few daughters (adopted).
Before, I never thought about becoming a teacher to teach someone or becoming an inspirational speaker. But my daughter is the reason, the motivation for me to change. It told me: I want to become a famous speaker not only in the country but also in the world. From my daughter’s wish, I was determined to turn it into a motivation to strive.”Mr. Long confided.
Mr. Long idolizes Nick Vujicic (world famous inspirational speaker). There have also been many people saying that he is the Nick Vujicic of Vietnam.
