Finalist Portrait · November 2020
Shoemaker 90 years old
His name is Trinh Ngoc, the only shoemaker in Saigon (Viet Nam) still working at the age of 90. Has studied at L'École ABC De Dessin School in Paris (France), Mr. Ngoc can make a pair of shoes by himself from design to make uppers and shoe soles. For decades in his career, Mr. Ngoc made shoes for the Royal Cambodian royal family from the queen to Prince Sihanouk and for many famous Vietnamese singers. When I asked him: What is the most important thing in your life? Mr. Ngoc answered: My life is very simple, I just think: If you create joy for others, you will receive double happiness.
