How a Teen Who Stopped Growing at 3 Is Dominating the Online Business Scene

A child who appears to be 3 years old and living in Vietnam has become famous for running an online business.

Nguyen Thi Hang, who lives in Phu Ninh, Vietnam, was recently featured on the online media outlet Sanook. Her appearance and voice make many people mistake Nguyen for a young child.

She was born without any issues, but her body stopped growing when she turned 3. Despite numerous hospital visits over the years, her weight and height showed signs of a gradual decrease, and no treatment for her rare disease was found.

At 17 years old, Nguyen stands only 2.9 feet tall. She doesn’t show disappointment or embarrassment about her appearance but expresses self-love and strives to live well despite her circumstances.

Her parents left to work far away about 10 years ago, so she lives with her grandparents.

From a young age, Nguyen sought to earn additional income beyond helping with household chores.

A few years ago, she started her business online, selling various products like potatoes and seasonal vegetables and even making and selling milk tea. She also works with warehouses to sell household appliances on live stream, among other ventures.

With her cute and polite demeanor, Nguyen has attracted a lot of attention and earned her customers’ trust for her purchases. She bought an electric car that fits her size to deliver the products her customers order.

She uses her car to travel, take breaks, and interact with others.

Nguyen said, “In addition to helping my grandparents, I’ve been able to save money to study English and Korean. I plan to continue to work on myself in the future,” adding, “I miss my mom a lot. I hope to be with her someday.”

“In my spare time, I volunteer at a charity and meet friends. I’m glad I can donate part of the money I earn to help people in a more difficult situation than me,” she shared.
