At a dormitory for workers in Thuan An (Binh Duong), there is a pair of female twins who are extremely adorable and strange: possessing white skin, long, thick white hair and green eyes. Anyone who looks at them at first glance would think that the two children are… mixed-race children, but the more they look at them, the more they see that they are Vietnamese.
“The two children are only 3 years old but are very obedient and polite. In the afternoon, their parents let them go outside to play and bow to everyone they meet. They look so adorable and cute. At first we thought it was strange, but the more we looked at it, the more we fell in love with it because it was so unique and beautiful,” said Ms. Tu (35 years old) – a neighbor of the twins’ family.

As soon as the woman finished speaking, another neighbor continued: “Miss Rong and Uncle May’s family (the parents of the twins – Reporter) have 3 children all of that shape. I heard people say that they carry a recessive gene, so their children are all albino. But secretly all three are healthy, obedient and very cute.
Everyone in this alley loves the kids.”
Then the two of them showed us where the twins’ family lived. The room is not too large, but it is extremely neat and clean. Ms. Dragon welcomed us very happily and warmly even though she had just finished her shift at the company: “My husband and I are from Soc Trang and moved here to work a long time ago. I work as a garment worker in an industrial park, and Mr. May also works nearby, in a company that produces golf clubs.
My husband and I have 3 children: a 12-year-old elder and these two. Usually, at 7:00 a.m. I take them to school and then pick them up at 5:00 p.m. I send Tam Sister – Tam Em (the twins) to a daycare class right near my house so pick-up and drop-off is also convenient.”
Referring to the unusual appearance of the twins Tam Chi – Tam Em, Ms. Rong said that the two children have albinism – a disease caused by a genetic congenital disorder when one parent has a homozygous recessive combination. together will give birth to such children.
“I spent several years learning about this disease and learned that, for people with the disease, a genetic defect causes the tyrosinase enzyme to not work, thereby causing the skin, hair, and fur to lose pigment. Therefore, they are often afraid of strong sunlight and their eyesight gradually weakens. Now when we go outside without sunglasses, the two of us don’t like it or just keep squinting,” the mother said sadly.
Baby Tam younger.
We encouraged Ms. Dragon: “Despite that, the children’s bodies still develop normally and do not affect their lifespan at all.” But the woman was still pensive, wondering about the future of her two children.
Ms. Rong further revealed that her and her husband’s eldest son also has this disease. That day, she collapsed and collapsed, seemingly unable to get up. She was in pain and did not understand why she and her husband had to endure such a shock. She felt sorry for her child who had to have a different shape compared to other children.
Especially when she witnessed her child’s eyes being afraid of light, Ms. Dragon became even more desperate. I’m afraid that one day when my child grows up, his eyes won’t be able to see every scene clearly, and he won’t be able to see his father or mother. That’s why she doesn’t dare to give birth again, for fear of genetic inheritance.
“For nearly 10 years, my husband and I did not dare to have another child even though we really like children. Four years ago, family and friends advised both of them to have a second child. They encouraged the first child to have albinism, so it was unlikely that the second child would have it. So we decided to have another child so that our family can have more children’s laughter.
The two brothers are extremely cute.
When the doctor diagnosed a twin pregnancy, my husband and I were very happy, looking forward to their birth every day. But when I was on the operating table, seeing their appearance made me worried, unable to speak. Even the doctor was surprised.
Honestly, I still can’t forget that moment. It’s not that I don’t love my children, but I’m worried about my appearance being like my brother, not knowing what the future will be like,” Ms. Dragon confided.
Even though there are still many worries, Ms. Rong and her husband always encourage each other to try to earn money to give the children a good life, and they become obedient children. polite, polite. And reality has proven that she and her husband have successfully raised their children as desired.
The way Ms. Rong and her husband raise their children makes many people admire them.
Through contact, we feel that although Tam Sister and Tam Em have the same shape, face… but their personalities are completely opposite. Tam Chi is quiet, doesn’t talk much, but is always kind and needs to protect and care for her sister. And Tam Em is alert, active and not afraid to communicate with strangers.
Regarding her children’s future, the Western mother said she has no plans for her children, she just wants them to have a peaceful and happy childhood like any other normal children. “Some people say that Tam Sister – Tam Em, if properly trained in the future, will easily become models like the albino couple in Europe. But I don’t understand anything, nor do I know how to develop my child’s strengths. Currently, my husband has a TikTok channel that specializes in posting clips of the two of us, receiving the attention of many people!”, Ms. Rong confided.
