<human>: I'll try and keep it short for you.

Basically, I (18) and my girlfriend (also 18) have been together for over a year. We're in our first year of college, albeit 360 miles and 6 hours driving distance away. We've made a long-distance relationship (LDR) work—trust me on that one.

It's basically been the best time we could have ever asked for.

Her parents, of traditional Vietnamese culture and upbringing, are understandably strict and not as progressive as most American households are. The Asian parent stereotype of demanding good grades to lead to a well-paying job is, unfortunately, often *not* a stereotype.

So even though she has pulled great grades in her first quarter of college, her parents simply cannot stand the idea of her having a boyfriend: it can hamper her ability to study, it can distract her, it is ultimately harmful. They have always felt this way, but just tonight, they pulled her aside, sat her down, and told her to break up with me, once and for all.

They've met me, although I suppose reluctantly. They mentioned I'm "not that special," yet they also contradictorily say, "Nothing against him" (I'm roughly translating their Vietnamese into English).

I don't necessarily need to bore you and flesh out all the details here. All I can say is that even though I know that my SO and I are young, even though statistically our relationship apparently shouldn't work, even though the odds seem overwhelmingly stacked against us...I just don't think it's right that any relationship should end like this—especially since we are adults by law.

With all that said, I have one question in addition to a request for advice: *Is anyone here able to translate English into Vietnamese?*

I have an idea, and it's far-fetched, but really, is there anything to lose at this point? I want to write a letter—a very calm one—to her parents, and RESPECTFULLY and CAREFULLY tell them a bit from my perspective. No barbs, no insults—just a letter that just might change their mind.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Have girlfriend worth fighting for. Her Vietnamese parents want best for her, decree us to split. I need a friendly Redditor who can translate my English letter into Vietnamese.
