Ha received the title at the age of 34 in early December last year by the State Council for Professorship.

Dung, from Hoang Mai District in Hanoi, had her life turned upside down 10 years ago when her beloved husband, Ho Sy Ngoc, died in a traffic accident at the age of 27.
Despite dealing a devastating blow to his wife, Ngoc’s passing did not put an end to their love story but brought about a miracle.
