On her social media accounts, Nie said she is happy to see Raj as she shared photos with the former Miss Universe runner-up. She also posted Instagram stories with the Filipina beauty queen.
“I’m so happy to see you, my sis @onlyvenusraj,” Nie said.
Nie, who inspired the public during the Miss Universe 2018 pageant, shared her story to the students who attended the youth congress in Naga.
“I’m very [honored] and grateful to be here, to join Youth Congress of FPPFI at which I could meet various students, potentials of future Philippines and share my stories,” Nie wrote in a post.
“Without any part of my past, I wouldn’t be the person I am right now. I believe in the miracle of life, that if you truly believe, life will not give up on you. Many people call me the Cinderella of Vietnam, but Cinderella has a fairy godmother to help her, while I created this miracle for myself,” she said.
Nie advised the youth and her followers to believe in themselves.
“Always make the efforts, think positively, you would definitely achieve your dreams,” Nie said.
