Woman recognizes her lost husband after 11 years in a TikTok video
Social media has its pros and cons, but like it or not, it’s become an integral part of modern society. It’s a channel for us to stay in touch with friends, keep track of the latest happenings around the world, or just simply entertain ourselves with some casual, lighthearted videos.
In the case of this one woman, though, social media served a far more meaningful purpose. Thanks to a video on TikTok, she was able to find her lost husband after 11 years.

The touching incident was reported by the popular Facebook forum Beatvn yesterday evening and credited toward an individual named Nguyễn Ánh Tuyết.
As the story goes, a TikToker posted a video that contained footage of a homeless man who often wandered around her neighborhood. It seemed she was trying to help him find his relatives.

Several screenshots from the two women’s conversations were also shared, giving us more insight into what happened.
According to the TikToker, she had seen this man around her neighborhood for nearly a decade. This matched the other woman’s accounts that her husband suffered from a mental illness and left their home over 10 years ago.
She then mentioned that her husband had a tattoo on his chest. The TikToker promised to go out and look for him, as the man often wandered aimlessly and sometimes wouldn’t come around for weeks. Thankfully, she was able to find him quickly and confirmed that he had a similar tattoo.

With her husband found, the other woman immediately traveled 60KM from her home in Phú Thọ to Tuyên Quang to bring him home.
Looking at the timestamps of the two women’s conversation, we can tell that they first made contact on 9th May. Thankfully, by 11th May, the lost man was safely returned to his family after 11 long years of separation.
