Quyen is very quiet and stoic.  She is from the mountains and her primary language is a dialect so she speaks little Vietnamese.   Her arm was burnt in a fire when she was 6 months old.  She doesn't know how it happened.  Although she didn't go to school, she's gone on to live a productive life.  Her handsome husband is attending to her after the surgery.  He grows trees for wood and they have a 5 year old.  Although the surgery is hard on her, she feels very happy.
