Vietnamese artist Mai Trần battles brain hemorrhage, partial paralysis

Vietnamese artist Mai Trần is currently in the hospital receiving treatment for a brain hemorrhage that has left him partially paralyzed. The condition, diagnosed as a progressive right frontal lobe hemorrhage, followed initial symptoms such as weakness in his left leg and difficulty controlling his mouth while eating.

His wife, Vân, noticed his symptoms and immediately took him to Gia Dinh Hospital. Since then, Mai Trần has been experiencing typical post-stroke symptoms. He is diligently working on physical therapy, starting with simple exercises like opening and closing his hands and rotating his wrists, despite the pain and difficulty.

This is a long process full of pain and difficulty, but I have to try. Many people have succeeded, I will too. I am luckier than many people, I have to try hard!

Mai Trần maintains a positive outlook, expressing his determination to recover. He humorously relies on his wife as his "secretary" for managing his social media and responding to messages. He also shared his concern for his wife's hard work in caring for him and managing their small business, "Bếp nhà nghệ sĩ Mai Trần" (Artist Mai Trần's Kitchen).

Director Mỹ Phượng, who is close to the family, confirmed Mai Trần's condition, noting he was hospitalized last week. Initially thought to be recovering, he developed a fever and respiratory inflammation, requiring continued treatment. His wife has been blending his food to make it easier to swallow. She has been managing their business and caring for him, finding solace in his awareness. She initially hesitated to publicize his illness, fearing accusations of seeking money, and instead hopes for support through their business endeavors.

I once again sincerely hope for everyone's support to help Mai Tran's family overcome difficulties with their own strength. Very much hope, very much hope!
