The son who returned home after 11 years in the video is Phan Duong (35 years old, from Nghe An). Duong has lived and worked in Korea for 13 years. He works in construction in Busan City. In 2014, he returned to Vietnam to visit his family once. It has been 11 years since then, and he has reunited with his parents.

“Because of work and also for economic reasons, after 11 years away from home, I can finally visit my parents. This time, I decided to return to my hometown to start a business. I have been working away for too long, my parents are getting older and weaker, it is time to return to them,” he said.

Wanting to surprise his family, Mr. Duong decided to keep his return a secret. At 6 p.m. on January 13, he arrived at Vinh Airport (Nghe An). More than 2 hours later, he was home to a warm welcome from his family.

“My younger sister also got married far away. That day, she lied to her parents and said she was bringing her family back to her hometown for Tet. My parents were waiting at the gate, but in fact, they were waiting for my sister’s family, not me, because they didn’t know I was coming back.

When she saw me in the car, my mother rushed to pick me up. The family reunited after 11 years apart, with only laughter,” Mr. Duong shared.

What was even more surprising was that Mr. Duong brought his other half to meet his family. Mr. Duong and his wife were from the same hometown, their houses were a few kilometers apart, but it was not until they went to Korea to work together that they met and became lovers.

While Mr. Duong and his wife were working in Korea, both families held a wedding ceremony in their home country. Despite the distance, the couple still kept in touch with their parents via video calls.

However, the moment the son officially brought his daughter-in-law home to meet his parents, his family was still surprised and moved. And that is also part of the reason why the video "welcoming son and getting a daughter-in-law" became famous on social networks.

For Mr. Duong, being reunited with his family is a great happiness. He is happy that his parents are still healthy and after many years away from home, he is able to return to his familiar home.
