Legendary feet crossed mountains, ice forests. Postman of Labor Hero Cil Mup Ha Krieng, once flying in the middle of the Central Highlands, his legendary bare feet that once crossed the distance by five rounds of the earth, has no longer “followed his father’s footsteps every day. “To read the letters by the fire together to call the afternoon of the distant village … He returned to Mother LangBiang Mountain on April 6, after a long illness. The unseasonal rain seemed to pour water, blinding the village of B’Nơh C, district Lạc Dương, Lâm Đồng. From now on, Ha Krieng can no longer listen to her stories, the story of the postman’s job in the streams, the forest, the people of Co Ho village at the foot of the legendary LangBiang mountain range. Ha Krieng was born in 1957. In 1982, he was accepted to work in the news delivery team of the Post Office of Lac Duong district, responsible for three mail routes from the district center to Da Chais, Bang Tieng, and Dam Ron. Without the miracle of a boy carrying seven miles to cross mountains and forests, he only has the strong bare feet of a mountain boy and a passion for his career. During 13 years of restlessness, Postman of Labor Hero Cil Mup Ha Krieng has crossed tens of thousands of kilometers of forest roads, facing difficulties and dangers, in hunger and forest malaria to “link” the merchants. Remote village to the outside world. In 2010, as healthy as the wild deer Ha Krieng suddenly collapsed, his clear eyes cannot see the LangBiang range in front of him. Ms. K’Hai, wife of Ha Krieng was sadly sad: He was working normally and felt headache and blurred vision. That is to notify the unit to be treated. The Post Hospital in Saigon said Ha Krieng had a tumor in the brain. From that day on, Ha Krieng suffered from memory loss, blurred vision, and went astray many times. Once lost to the East Bus Station in Ho Chi Minh City, fortunately remembered the home phone number to call … From the day she got sick, Ha Krieng had to sit in a wheelchair and K’Hai continued to tell the story of “legendary legs “. “Fortunately, thanks to the post office, the love of the villagers, Ha Krieng is strong enough to fight the disease, stay with her mother and child as much …”, Ms. K’Hai said. Back to the story of the letter, the distance that Ha Krieng overcame adds up to five circles of the earth’s circumference. This feat surprised all the delegates attending the National Emulation Congress held in Hanoi in 2000, when listening to the summary report, telling the story of cutting forests, ice mountains to deliver official documents, documents, letter … presented by postman Ha Krieng before being awarded the title “Labor Hero in the doi moi era” in 2001. Ha Krieng once told me, the shortest and easiest route to go is Lac Duong – Pang Tieng, which also takes 12 hours on foot, both back and forth. And the most arduous and dangerous route is the Lac Duong – Dam Ron route, with a length of 70 km walking through the forest and 24 hours of walking … Because he is an indigenous ethnic person, fluent in forest roads, at that time Young, in good health, and with flexible legs, Ha Krieng is regularly assigned to take charge of this mailing route. In order to deliver newsletters from Lac Duong to Dam Ron, Ha Krieng and her colleagues had to leave from 5am and walk until after 17pm to arrive. In addition to cutting forests, they also have to pass many passes and slopes. Doc Troi, is a slope that leaves many impressions, when going up it takes about 90 minutes, sometimes down about 50 minutes, this slope is upright, many sections must cling to branches or roots of forest trees to climb, people behind only see human feet. Going ahead because thick fog all year round … over Rock slope, then over Lam Brun mountain, below is a deep stream, fast flowing water in rainy season, to cross stream, you have to cut down trees to make a temporary bridge. Just like that, day by day, month and month, they crossed the mountains together, crossed the forest to deliver official letters, letters, documents … Along the way, they had to deal with wild animals, wild animals and forest malaria. I used to work in the post office, then switched to journalism and traveled a lot with the postal workers, so it was quite clear. That day, each postman was given a pair of tank shoes, but it only took a few times to fail. You make your own sandals with car cover, rubber strap or wood rattan. But Ha Krieng said, walking barefoot is still “durable” and most convenient, because it can cling to slippery rocks, though many times of bleeding … Besides the danger of the terrain, in this area from 1975 to 1985 is at the center of Fulro’s activities. Before leaving, Ha Krieng had to “play a loincloth, bare shoulder” like a young Co Ho going to the forest. Documents and documents are hidden on the bottom of the binder (double layer binder), above the “camouflage” of some essential things to “cover the eyes” Fulro, if you miss them. Postman Ha Krieng delivered the letter to the remote areas. That day, the postman brothers in charge of this mail route all shared the same fear of being ambushed, the tension always waiting on each trip. Ha Krieng’s group has two colleagues who have stayed forever in the middle of the world … Many times it is so hard and stressful, he also wants to leave the unit to work on a field, a place to live with his wife and children. But then think of teammates, fellow citizens, they are always hungry for food, lack of shirts, letters, letters and the times when you give letters, news to them, they are very happy, they are so precious … so you continue with work. Now, on the road of B’Nơh C village, the sun has not stopped every afternoon, there is no longer the elite son of the village in a wheelchair. The legendary legs for a while rested. The village business no longer hears Ha Krieng calling: We have a letter!
