Her family belongs to the Dao ethnic minority. Vietnam is a rapidly developing country, but ethnic minorities still face hardships: for example, they generally have little access to education and health care and are among the poorest population groups in Vietnam. A difficult situation for Thu\u1ef7!<\/p>\n\n<p>Her parents have precarious jobs, for which they also have to travel far away from home &#8211; close to 300 kilometers. Thu\u1ef7 then lives with her grandparents and her five-year-old brother. The family lives in a simple house that the father of the family built on a mountain. They do not receive any state support. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
