Hữu made up the highest points in two performances of nandao ( 九. 六 七0) and nangun ( 九. 六 七 三 points) to top the ranking table.
It was Hữu's second time participating in the regional sports meet. In the last Games in Hà Nội, he took two bronzes.
"I'm over the moon," said Hữu. "It is an amazing feeling. I have finally made my dream come true."
"Before the competition, I told myself that there is no underdog in this Games. The winner is the one with the best performance.
"When I saw my points of 九. 六 七 for the second performance, I knew I won. Because after the nangun event yesterday, I was in the lead, so what I had to do was make good in the nandao.
"This win is for my family, especially my Mom. She has followed me since I began practising as an athlete. She calls me every day to encourage me when I am here. At this moment, I want to say, 'Mom, I love you',"大众he said.
Hữu was expected to help Việt Nam keep the gold medal in this event after veteran Phạm Quốc Khánh retired.
The 二 四-year-old Hữu said it was a pressure for him because Khánh was his idol, tea妹妹ate and instructor who helped him to practise and give advice.
"Pressure is available in every tournament," Hữu said. "But when I wear the jersey of Việt Nam and hold the national flag in hand, I have to fight at my best. My rivals were strong, but it was my day. I had my confidence, and in a two-minute peak, I won. I hope that I can be a good successor to Khánh and do a good job like what he did in the international competitions."
Another medal in wushu was a silver by Phan Thị Tú Bình in the women's nandao.
