The cover of the poem The Shadow of the Past – Photo (LHK) The poetry collection “Old Afternoon Shadows”* by Nguyen Thi Thu has 70 poems printed with moderate thickness, beautiful and simple cover, giving readers a friendly and close first impression. There are only 3 poems written by the author about relatives (father, mother and deceased brother) arranged in separate arrays, but they are 3 poems rich in emotions. The rest are love poems. Women that. Eve’s words to invite Adam to eat the forbidden fruit is a love verse of the early morning ancestors of mankind. Without mentioning the memories as often seen in the lines of crying for separation, the verses in the poem “The day of his death” are linked, confused and helpless as if it was the longing for a relative who soon left. far from the world. It is not a manly page to be able to pour a cup of wine on the grave of a short loved one like Nguyen Thong (1827-1884) did in front of his brother’s grave in the article. “Falling away from a foreign country” (Far from my grave in a foreign land) , Nguyen Thi Thu tossed in a dream, in nostalgia hoping to find her brother’s figure, but soon realized it was a hopeless search: I look in a dream I search in nostalgia Parting is forever Far away, far away. (Your anniversary) Just a glance at the titles of the remaining 67 poems, readers can imagine so many levels of love in the soul of a woman who has endured and overcome many sun and rain in the world. There is a call for a lover in Why don’t you take me home, One day I will love, Love forever, Remember to listen to me, Tell me… There are timestamps left with Sunset, Old Wharf, Sent in the past, Winter, Spring at the door, The season of flying leaves… There are flowers that hide so many memories: A few degrees of yellow flowers, You and the lotus, Wild flowers, May flowers, Bi Ngan flower love story… Nguyen Thi Thu is like a woman in a cubist painting. Many faces turned to the four directions, but the eyes opened wide and looked into their own realm. This is a young girl in love, dreaming of a flower boat by the river in the rape season. That’s the girl sitting knitting a sweater unfinished a love affair. And far away is a woman who remembers an old autumn: He said he loves wildflowers You should send your heart to the wind and clouds Autumn is so far away To lose your love in this place forever. (To send) When the eyes are on their own world, the verse will be full of mood. “The shadow of the old afternoon” is so flickering with smoke, filled with sadness and joy, like the scenes of the film overlap in succession, and then suddenly the lens-lens-inner-mind pulls into a deep perspective with waves. The lake surface spreads to the abyss. Author Nguyen Thi Thu Literary works always carry in it, at different levels, the thoughts, feelings and sometimes even the fate of the writer. Because of that, facing life, sometimes verses and poems become a bridge to share, sympathize, and connect writers with others: One day, I lost my way to the moon and stars Know someone’s arms to pick up for those who missed an appointment? Please open your heart to love the sunshine Wipe your tears then… wipe even the rain. (Path to happiness) Reading Nguyen Thi Thu’s poetry, the reader encounters the author’s lyrical ego in every private moment, every small word confiding. When revealed by lines, shapes, when flickering, ghostly. Sometimes the truth is mixed together, both familiar and strange: Is there an afternoon where I’m alone? Sitting alone looking at the trees shedding leaves The rain is falling with long drops Tell us stories like yes, no? (Doesn’t it rain in the afternoon) “Old Afternoon Shadow” anchors the reader’s feelings because of its multi-voiced, multi-step tone, showing the author’s rich linguistic ability and sensitive and flexible rhyme perception, especially in the form of poetry. five languages ​​and hexagons: Losing love is a pain If you forget, it will be too late One dimple lover Words of love follow the wind to the flying sand. (Sand flies) It is not difficult to find the shortcomings, immaturity here and there in a collection of poems, but the most noticeable is the redundancy and repetition of words in a poem, or sometimes “trending” to use strange words. If the word “lost” choose a very expensive place in the article “Possible and impossible” then the fact that there are 6 mentions of the word “peace” (pages 27, 60, 64, 78, 88, 95) makes it difficult for readers to… peace! But, above all, “Old Afternoon Shadow” and the feelings of the author are worthy for readers to share and sympathize.

Consumption and happiness I shop therefore I am

Status: 13.06.2021 10:26 a.m.

Business is up again. For many people, the lockdown was like withdrawal, because shopping can trigger feelings of happiness like drugs. But is less maybe more – and does it even make it happier? By Ilyas Mec and Sandra Scheuring, MR According to the Federal Statistical Office, an average household in Europe has around 10,000 things. 100 years ago, the average German household had 180 things. It is estimated that almost three million people in this country live in a household with three cars or more. There are two million old cell phones in drawers. This list could go on: TVs, clothing, decorative items, household items are constantly increasing and far exceed the number of things that we really need. Obviously, ruffling is an instinct that was created in human evolution. Owning things reliably ensured survival. Buying triggers a feeling of elation, at least in the short term. It can even turn into a real addiction, shopping addiction. Those who consume are also looking for confirmation, wanting to belong – it’s about keeping up, but also about demarcation and the expression of individuality. Buyers are often at the mercy of their instincts. Two thirds of all purchase decisions are made spontaneously in the store, as so-called impulse purchases.

The tea light phenomenon

Marketing strategists and advertising professionals use these behaviors to encourage people to buy. A walk through an Ikea branch shows how perfected the craft of seduction can be. It seems impossible not to buy anything. A pillow here, a carafe there, and finally tealights. We use them spontaneously, even if we have had such products at home for a long time. Why? “It can be a purely functional need on the one hand, but also an emotional one on the other hand: I want it to be more comfortable, I just want it to be nicer,” says Janet Wittmaack, deputy branch manager of Ikea in Frankfurt. The psychologist Jens Förster points out the disadvantage: the kick when shopping is always gone very quickly. “If you really want to spend money, adventure goods are a good choice, things like traveling,” says Förster. The memory remains, “and that makes you happier in the long term”.

Consumer trend minimalism

An entire industry is now propagating the opposite. Because owning a lot is no longer so en vogue today. Owning little, but having the right thing for it, is a megatrend. The Japanese bestselling author Marie Kondo, for example, who is also known as the “Queen of Minimalism”, sells items for a minimalist life in her online shop. Otherwise she writes guidebooks on how to make tidying up and sorting out happy. Birgit Blättel-Mink is a professor of sociology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt and conducts research on consumer issues, among other things. Instead of abstaining from consumption, there is often just a shift in consumption, she believes: “If someone says I do without clothes, I don’t really need that much – then we often observe something like a so-called rebound effect. So I save here. I can for that I can afford more on another side. ” In such cases, it may not be a matter of profound change or more sustainability, but rather a “subjectively good conscience”. Then there are only three very expensive shirts instead of ten cheaper ones. You have to be able to afford minimalism as celebrated on Instagram and Co.

Consumption is the work of others

Consumption is a prerequisite for our economy to run. If everyone renounces consumption, it would be a disaster, says Adalbert Winkler, economist at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. He is researching the consequences of the corona lockdown. “Those who offered goods and services had no income, and if the state hadn’t helped with transfer payments, then this drop in income would have meant that these people would not have been able to consume either, which in turn would have affected everyone else,” says Winkler . “We would have gotten into a dramatic recession.” In a nutshell, this means that if everyone lives ascetically, there is a risk of economic ruin. It is relatively easy to promote abstinence if your own income is not burdened. So what now? Living in a very spartan way and doing without consumption does not seem to be a solution either. Just as minimalist, elitist buying behavior is not an option for society at large. For most people, thinking about how you consume cannot be wrong. This includes the insight that the happiness rush when shopping is only short-term. And many things can quickly become a burden – when the basement is full and you have to ask yourself: where do you put all that stuff?

5 effective healing uses of perilla leaves Illustration Treatment of colds To treat colds, you can use perilla in 3 ways: Wash perilla leaves and cook them with porridge to feed the sick; or drink perilla leaf juice when it is still hot, then lie down covered with a blanket (suitable for the elderly and young children). In addition, you can use perilla leaf juice to steam the whole body. Improve stomach disease Perilla leaves contain tannins and glucosides, which have anti-inflammatory, astringent, and scar-healing effects. According to gastroenterologists, if used in the form of a decoction, perilla leaves not only relieve pain, reduce gastric juice to normal in patients with stomach pain, but also help patients eat well and sleep. better. Illustration Prevent recurrence of gout For people with gout, daily perilla leaves should be eaten as raw vegetables in meals to prevent recurrence.

Create a clean path from the speaker to the listener’s ear The perception of stereo sound depends on subtlety and in particular on the presence of live sound as well as the immediate feedback that follows. Incoming sounds play a general role in what you’re hearing, but they’re not as important in stereo as the “first-in” effect (the latter is considered unimportant by the ear/brain’s decision). spatial and positional information). Now do you understand what we mean by “clean road”? You don’t need anything on the floor or anything else close to the path from the speakers to where you sit. The floor and ceiling of the listening room should be flat and smooth because high frequency reflections will be minimized. If the ceiling is not very high, it is better if it is made of a soft and smooth object. The problem here is that rough materials, such as appliances and furniture, will cause the sound to be distributed unevenly. This is one reason why the stereo effect is blurred and the ideal performance cannot be obtained. A friend in the test room asked me to close my eyes to test the change of stereo sound when there is an obstacle in front. When the music plays, I feel the change quite clearly, the stereo comes out in parts, becomes distracting and the sense of space is seriously affected. Then my friend told me to open my eyes. What surprised me the most was that he just silently placed the CD cases on the floor symmetrically between the speakers and a few in front of us. This is obviously not a huge physical change, but it does sabotage stereo performance a lot. So what if you put a coffee table or put a few remotes on it symmetrically with two speakers and in front of a music chair? Maybe it will be convenient for you to enjoy the melodious music while sipping a cup of coffee, but you will certainly not be able to fully feel the stereo performance. Get rid of objects next to you, use a chair with a low back Although using a chair with a low backrest, the arrangement of the chair as shown in the picture makes it impossible for both listeners to experience the stereo effect. Hard objects near your ears along a straight line are seen to greatly affect when you listen to music. It’s best to sit in a chair with a very low back, as that will put nothing near your ears. If your back doesn’t adapt to this, you should at least use a chair that doesn’t go over your head and make sure it’s soft. Hard leather sofas become weak points because they reflect high frequencies. If you are sitting alone, cover the area behind and near your head with a cloth curtain. Because otherwise, a lot of high frequencies will be scattered before reaching you, or in other words, the back wall of the listening room should design sound-absorbing materials or accessories. But using a low chair is still best. Try it! You will be surprised how much better your system will sound. Symmetry rule Stereo sound is based on symmetry between two channels. For the latter, where people are exposed to large amounts of treble diffusivity, the role of symmetry is diminished. But for anything that comes first with the sound of low frequencies, the role of symmetry is indispensable. In the old days, when many audio players didn’t understand how stereo really worked, and especially didn’t fully appreciate the importance of the intrinsic tonal time difference, many would try to make adjustments. difference between the two channels by electronic means, i.e. adjust the equalizer and use a separate equalizer for the channels. The result was, of course, a disaster, because analog equalizers and EQs couldn’t deal with asymmetric timing effectively. When that happens, the actual digital signal processing (DSP) may be full of detail, but the problem lies in the accuracy. So it’s better to make the whole system as symmetrical as possible from the start. As always, the tuning DSP room works best when there is a lower frequency response peak and sag and is less demanding for correction (the one exception is the very wide, very useful bass correction. useful in practice). Part of the task of symmetry is on you, which is to keep the two speakers evenly spaced. In general, everyone does this, but they don’t do it fully and carefully. Let’s take a quick look at the numbers. People can hear a time difference between the two ears of about 1/100,000 of a second. But let’s stay conservative and give it only 1/50,000th of a second. How far will the sound go in 1/50,000th of a second? Well, a millisecond (1/1000 of a second) is about a footstep. So 1/50,000 is about 12/50,000 feet, which is about a quarter of an inch. So if you want stereo speakers, you need to get them within a quarter of an inch. Time is a measure! Mark the spot and keep it there. Sit near your speakers loa There will always be some sound coming soon that you really don’t expect. So try to make them symmetric and have smaller amplitudes, but there are bound to be some limits. The way to minimize their effects is to make the live sound appear as early as possible. Sitting close to the speaker is how you do this. Of course, you also can’t sit too close, because most speakers depend on a certain distance for the accuracy of the drivers. And to some extent, you need some distance to avoid hearing the microscopic vibrations because that can make the speaker more visible than the music source. But you’ll get the best stereo sound if you sit reasonably close to the points. Many people sit too far and to the far end of the room due to the fact that the music room is too long. Sitting closer to the speaker changes the direct sound reflection ratio. You should also sit away from the wall behind your back, and the speakers should also be away from the wall behind them (unless they are designed to be wall-mounted), because positioning the speakers and listeners too close to the wall will cause discomfort. benefit the sound of a stereo system. Need a soft room Many recordings (CDs or LPs) are made with the expectation that some room sound will be added as the music plays. A few other recordings were made with the expectation that they would not be echoes when heard. But all those effects don’t stand a chance if your listening room is too small. In my opinion, the best stereo sound should be presented in an RFZ (no-reflection room) room. In such a room, early incoming direct sound will be in moderation, and sound reflection will soon be absorbed. After you hear the live sound, the listening room will appear to be assisted by sound diffusion, where discrete sound reflections are not evidence, or the sound will arrive too late after the initial sound. arrived. As a result, live sound is heard more clearly, without being confused. While building an actual RFZ room is quite a challenge, you can handle it well by making a “soft” listening room, which will especially help the treble get the most out of it. In addition, a soft acoustic environment will also result in more harmonious notes. If your music room has a large picture, use fabric drapes to cover it while listening to music. In particular, the wall of the music room made of glass would be a disaster. A few years ago, a friend brought to my apartment a system to edit rooms. Then this apartment had a spectacular view, located on a high ground and had a long wall of nothing but glass and steel support. But when it comes to music, it’s clear this room can’t get the most out of it unless I add some curtains. Sit still and close your eyes Part of that symmetry is placing the music chair in the right position. Unless you move the seat straight forward or backward, you will end up in an asymmetrical position! But there is another way of sitting that is really subtle and more important than the effect. This is a complex topic so I can only give an overview. As the brain builds perception from raw data during processing, what we “see” or “hear” is not the same as light in our eyes or sound in our ears. Because it’s just a mental construct. This particular mental construct often includes the following surprising things: it will use many signals, but if one signal is lost, the brain will recognize it as lacking and simply reprogram itself to use other signals. This may sound crazy, but there’s a simple visual experiment you can illustrate with that principle. Look at a photograph with a lot of three-dimensional (3D) material in it or at a painting with strong perspective, then you will get some impression of a three-dimensional image. But if you look at them with one eye closed and the other through a short tube that blocks the background and only allows you to see the picture, there is a surprising increase in the perception of three-dimensional images. If you’ve never tried this, you’ll have a hard time believing that your eyes can see the background around the picture of the picture (the way you usually look at a picture), and the brain will pick up some signal about the picture. that three-dimensional perspective. But the brain will also receive information that the surface of the painted or printed picture is in fact only two-dimensional. Binocular vision shows a fatter picture, and the background shows it too. So the brain is getting conflicting signals, which means it allows you to see some of the three-dimensional image, but not all of it. When you look with one eye and don’t see the background, the signal to that fatter image is blocked. Going back to the world of sound, one of the ways the brain detects the position of an object, the shape of the hearing room, of space, or in general auditory terms, is to slightly move the head and Notice the changes in the sound. People will have the feeling that they suddenly “sink into” the space of stereo sound. There are some people who choose to sit absolutely still. This will put the listener in a quiet state, and obviously very suitable for listening to music. And, to my ears, the stereo got better. Finally, closing your eyes also eliminates cues that a person can’t hear in a concert hall or a stadium, but can hear from the speakers in your listening room. In short, sit with your eyes closed, with your head completely still, in a chair near the speakers in a “soft” room and in the correct symmetrical position with no obstructions in the line. between you and the speaker. If you do all that, I guarantee your stereo system can perform at its best. Hope you find the best stereo sound!

Julie Dang’s journey to make coffee a part of who she is. Julie was initially unimpressed with coffee – a dark, bitter drink sold on the streets of Saigon. Until her freshman year of college, a foreign friend offered her a machine-made espresso. “I have never had a coffee that is both fatty and fragrant in such a pleasant way and gives such strong energy.” Thinking that a person who does not like strong coffee like me can drink it, maybe many people also like it. So the college freshman decided to start a business with a self-designed coffee truck. In 2007 – 2008, Julie’s “peddler” coffee machine is still a very new and rare model in Saigon. This business “mission” costs hundreds of millions of dong, but the revenue increases very quickly. However, Julie at that time had many other things to care about, including studying, so the coffee truck also closed after a year. Julie Dang is a judge in a competition about Sense of taste. Intoxicated with coffee, Julie plunges into exploring it. She confided that she is only happy when studying, researching and teaching about coffee. She has poured a lot of money into courses around the world, with leading experts in the field. The more she studied and studied, the more fascinated she became. In Julie’s concept, coffee is not just a drink but a combination of all fields related to human cultural life. When the world changes, people’s lives change, so does coffee culture. After many years of wandering, Julie finally “pocketed” a good amount of knowledge and wanted to share it with people with the same passion. Therefore, Julie said that she loves teaching at Vietnam Barista School more than doing business. “I am happy to see students learn many new things about coffee. From their feedback, I see myself again on the journey to coffee, it is a feeling of joy and emotion every time I open a new door, sometimes overwhelmed because it is so wonderful.” . Julie Dang teaches coffee roasting techniques. Julie transmits her knowledge and passion to her students and vice versa, their eagerness to learn and progress stimulates her to want to replicate her sharing model even more. Julie remembers a time when she lost her voice because she was “drunk” to communicate, like the time she trained on “Coffee take away” for more than 10,000 students for 3 months. “But in return, I feel like I have a lot of new energy,” she smiled. Going to many places, drinking a lot of coffee in different countries, Julie appreciates the coffee beans of her homeland. She is also proud that Vietnam produces one of the best quality coffees in the world. However, when working with foreign partners, Julie always feels like her country’s coffee beans are not respected in international politics. Once she was a judge in an Asian coffee contest, she felt more deeply about the world’s view of her country. “I don’t feel proud when people think I’m a judge from Japan, Korea or a country other than Vietnam. I feel proud when they look down on both the contestants and the Vietnamese coffee makers. From that moment on, I set a goal for myself to become the best in international coffee competitions, as a contestant as well as a judge. More than that, I have to become a coffee teacher in other countries, not just in my homeland,” Julie confided. Since 2017, Julie has become the youngest technical judge and chief judge at world championships in sensory subjects in Korea, Latte Art in Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines… She also became the President of the International Association of Coffee Training Schools, a member of the World Specialty Coffee Association, the European Coffee Association, a lecturer of the Korea Coffee Research and Development Institute, etc. In big competitions, Julie wants to introduce Vietnamese coffee culture through the most beautiful coffee products with the natural scent of her homeland. But when she returned to her daily work, Julie was not too picky about enjoying coffee. For her, a good cup of coffee is about achieving a balance between cultural, culinary and spiritual factors. So, she can enjoy espresso made with the best machine and also be happy to drink a cup of natural flavor filter coffee. Even a cup of coffee brewed with a racket did not reach any technical indicators, but Julie still found it extremely delicious to enjoy with a hot banana cake at a resident’s house in Bali, in the midst of vast nature. big on a beautiful day. Coffee in each place is delicious in its own way, because it is associated with the people and culture of each land. Coffee beans have become a bridge connecting freely in the culture of enjoyment, independence and difference of peoples around the world. And people will feel happy when they understand their own feelings.

Ms. A. abandoned this spoiled milk carton. But the next day, when she opened another milk carton, Ms. A was surprised because the damaged milk box continued to be damaged. “I opened the milk and found it curdled, turned yellow and had a sour smell. I myself am quite careful when choosing food and beverage products for my children, I know that pasteurized fresh milk has more nutritional advantages than other lines, so the preservation of this product is more demanding. in the preservation stage and the use time is shorter” – Ms. A. said. To clarify the information that Ms. A reflected in the most objective way, on May 16, PV was present at Ms. A’s family to directly record the condition of the milk box showing signs of being damaged before its expiry date. Through direct observation, with the naked eye, PV found that the milk box for Ms. A. provided with the phenomenon: clumping, unusual concentration and unpleasant odor, unlike fresh milk products. other on the market. According to the company’s advertisement, after the launch, pasteurized fresh milk in 220ml paper bags, Dalatmilk is one of the few dairy products in paper bags made entirely from clean fresh milk of the famous dairy farming region. . This is a product line that says “no” to preservatives or synthetic ingredients, fully inheriting the value of the long-standing Dalatmilk brand – a brand beloved for its outstanding quality. Vietnamese businessmen will continue to inform about this issue!

Her friend Phan Anh Thu

Appearing on the “courage podium”, her friend Phan Anh Thu (grade 4.2) shared a very touching story about her mother: “My mother is very busy with work, does not care about everything around” – The opening sentence surprised everyone.

She continued: “One day for my mother is two phones, she also holds her cell phone while she is sitting in the car, she also holds the phone to eat, comes home and takes her phone, and goes to bed with her phone.

My mother always has a phone next to me, doesn’t care about me at all. I always talk to my mother, she has only one sentence, “yes yeah yeah”.

And Anh Thu’s mother is so busy that, after dinner, she continues to work on two phones and on the computer.

Feeling hurt and pity when her mother is too focused on her work, Anh Thu asked: “Why are you always holding the phone and not caring about me?”.

Your mother Anh Thu

Listening to her daughter’s words, Anh Thu’s mother could not help but be moved: “Mom was quite surprised with your share. Girls know, being a parent, everyone loves their children and really wants to spend time caring for them, being with them, playing with them anytime, anywhere. Mum has been very busy the past time, and her work requires a lot of concentration to deal with.

I also want to educate my children that their parents are hardworking, hardworking, responsible for the job and must always be committed to it. Although I am busy with such a job, in any circumstances, every day, every hour I think about you and I devote all my love and attention to you ”.

Anh Thu’s mother said that, even though there were working days very late, she woke up early every morning at 5 to prepare to take her to school. And taking advantage of the time on the way to school, my mother tied Anh Thu’s hair, hands and feet.

“On that road, our mother and daughter also exchanged and shared many stories. Mom always asks me if studying is fun today? How are your school work and even stories you need to deal with immediately with your teacher, school, and friends, you will immediately contact her.

Or on weekends, if I have nothing to do, I still go to the bookstore with you. You can share all kinds of things, everything, even if you present a talk slide on the subsidiary, you are the first audience to vote or comment on your work.

So I think I have paid a lot of attention and considered you as a friend of mine ”.

Her friend felt deeply relieved when her mother spent less time with her

However, Anh Thu still feels pity because even when the mother and daughter spend time together, she always looks at the phone, seeming not to focus on the story.

Anh Thu’s mother is still very gentle, slowly explaining that her work is specific to the phone, so I hope her friend understands.

Because her mother is always so busy, she does not spend time playing with Anh Thu: “I asked her to play with me, she said she was very busy, she couldn’t play with me”. And while she waits for her mother to work, she plays by herself. But after that when she was done, she was tired and needed to rest.

Anh Thu’s mother was also deeply moved

“I am so sorry, daughter, I think that my concern is for you when I can, it is enough for you, but I don’t think it still makes you feel lonely. “, Anh Thu’s mother could not hold back tears.

“I will spend more time playing with you, I will think of ways to forcefully turn the laptop back or put the phone aside, how do you feel?”, Anh Thu’s mother addressed her daughter.

“I feel happy when you play with me, because I love you so much too. But you have to be the same with me “, tears now also started rolling down that girl.

In the end, the mother and daughter got to know each other better and gave each other a warm hug

After these brave words, my mother also understood Anh Thu’s feelings, and her friend also understood her mother’s feelings better. Despite the busy nature of her work, her mother always spends very little time with Anh Thu, trying to dedicate all the best to her beloved daughter.

Nam Hien and his sister Nguyen Thi Hong

On an accidental occasion, I heard about the situation of a man who is an actor club of Nhon Hung commune music club (Tinh Bien). “The song life” seems to be involved in the life of this suffering man as well! He is Nguyen Van Hien, an acquaintance or Nam Hien, who is currently suffering from a stroke, is bedridden and is trying to shake the last days of his life in solitude.

Visiting Nam Hien’s house in Tay Hung hamlet on a hot afternoon, I met with my sister who was directly nurturing. In the hospital bed, Nam Hien was thin and thin, his blank eyes occasionally glancing around. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong (his biological sister Nam Hien) said that Nam Hien could not speak but also had no emotional expression, so the care was very extreme. From eating to personal hygiene, Nam Hien has to rely on his sister, because he is now a plant man.

Talking about Mr. Nam Hien’s situation, Ms. Hong could not hold back tears: “When he was still strong, he ran a” motorbike taxi “to make a living and went to the party to hire a party. The income was precarious at that time, but at least I could take care of myself. I remember, at that time he only ate rice with duck seeds, meals were cooked, meals were fried, meals were boiled. The sisters’ family lived next to each other, and I asked him to come over to eat together to help relieve loneliness. Maybe because his life is poor, his wife also left without looking back at her face once! ”.

In terms of character, Nam Hien is considered a gentle and quiet person. When going to the party to hire the party, it does not require or criticize much or less remuneration. One month before Nam Hien became ill, the wife of the first few years held her arms and knees and took off her shirt. “That day, he went to the lodge for people, sitting down suddenly. Everyone gathered and drove them to the hospital, so he couldn’t speak anymore. I stayed in the hospital for a few times, and I brought her here because my illness did not go away. Afraid that I would lie alone at night, if no one would continue, I brought it over to my house to take care of. Looking at you more and more emaciated, I feel very sorry “- Mrs. Hong choked.

Currently, Ms. Hong only watches the time of feeding rice, water and personal hygiene for Nam Hien. The over-60-year-old sister tried every meal to buy some meat and fish to foster her. Occasionally someone loved her. She would drop by for a bit of money to save her to buy more food for Nam Hien. Ms. Hong’s family background is not quite well off. The husband and wife work as hired labor and send money to her every month to live. Now she redistributed a portion of it to Nam Hien. Sometimes when she ran out of money, Mrs. Hong asked people to let her buy fish in shortage, and she would send it back when she had money. Thanks to good neighbors, loving Nam Hien’s circumstances, they were willing.

“I can’t help you, my intestines are bleeding softly! I think I went to a hundred temples and left my brother suffering with this disease even more guilty. If only I try to take care of me until the last day, so that if I have the best part, she will also be happy because my sister will be by my side in the last minute. His life is now over, his wife has abandoned it, and I do not look. I am a real sister, but if not burdened anymore, how can she live! Now, I just hope that all the donors will help me to have more conditions to worry for a long-term Hien year, because my family can only eat enough ”- Ms. Hong confided.

According to the People’s Committee of Nhon Hung commune, Mr. Nguyen Van Hien is one of the near-poor households of the locality. The current situation is quite difficult because of the catastrophic disease and no money to live. We hope all the benefactors help Nam Hien have more conditions to live with the disease that pushed his life into this tragic situation!
