There has not been a study stating the time period when Quang products began to be exported to other countries, only that, as early as 1925, in the study on Quang Ngai, French Ambassador Laboord wrote that day: ” The wealth and abundance of this province also lies in the cultivation of sugarcane… The harvesting of sugarcane has found a regular exit from the Chinese in Thu Xa. They will export molasses to Hong Kong… They already export up to 12,000 tons of sugar a year.” The busy Phu Tho wharf is now just a peaceful and quiet residential area. Photo: Y THUY In the editorial Quang Ngai province, advocated by Nguyen Ba Trac, printed in Nam Phong magazine in 1933, it also helps us visualize the export of goods of the Quang Ngai people in the past as follows: “Quang Ngai has 3 gates. Big sea: Son Tra estuary in Binh Son, Co Luy estuary in Tu Nghia and Sa Huynh estuary in Duc Pho. Each gate has a Department of Commerce to tax export and import goods. Regarding goods exported through seaports, Quang Ngai province also stated that: “The most important export item of Quang Ngai province is sugar. The place to export the most is Co Luy estuary carried out by Thu Xa city. Ginseng and cinnamon are sold at Son Tra gate, salt is sold at Sa Huynh gate. Particularly for Quang Ngai sugar specialties exported through 3 seaports of Co Luy, Son Tra, Sa Huynh; Quang Ngai province also detailed that, in 3 years 1929 – 1931, Quang Ngai exported 24.1 tons of sugar. In addition to the above products, in the Quang Ngai Geography also mentioned more about the export of rice: “The number of rice exported through the seaports of Co Luy, Son Tra and Sa Huynh in 1931 was still over 80 tons. This is the amount of rice sold by landowners to private traders for export. From the above documents, it can be affirmed that the ownership of large seaports has helped trade and export goods from Quang Ngai to developed countries very early. The reason why Son Tra estuary (Sa Can) is the main export place of cinnamon products is because the source of cinnamon from Tra Bong is quite conveniently transported by traders along the Tra Bong river down to the sea estuary. In Sa Huynh (Duc Pho), because salt is produced by people right next to the sea mouth, salt becomes the main export product through this estuary. As for the Co Luy gate, according to cultural researcher Cao Van Chu, this is the gateway for sugar products from the Quang Ngai plain to other parts of the country and the world, not only through China, but also through China. and through Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore… There are no boats now At Co Luy, from ancient times, Chinese merchant ships, after entering this seaport, often anchored at Phu Tho wharf (in the territory of Nghia Phu commune, Quang Ngai city today). Here, goods transported from China such as silk, pottery, traditional medicine… will be unloaded on small boats and transported back to Vuc Hong wharf in Thu Xa (in Nghia Hoa commune, district). Tu Nghia today) delivered to the merchants there. After that, traders in Thu Xa again unloaded Quang Ngai products such as sugar, honey, and agarwood… and then transported them down to Phu Tho wharf and loaded them on Chinese merchant ships to take them back to China. Salt is the main export product through Sa Huynh gate, but for many years, the price has always dropped, making salt farmers less interested in keeping the job. Photo: Y THUY According to the documents in the book Co Luy in the stream of Vietnamese marine culture by author Cao Chu, in the documents of Quang Ngai Province recorded in 1906 by the French colonial government, maritime transportation in Co Luy was It is clearly shown as follows: “In: 330 merchant ships in Central Vietnam entered, 8 sailing ships from Cochinchina arrived, forming a total of 3,000 tons. Ra: 430 sailing ships of China, 27 sailing ships of Cochinchina, 20 sailing ships of Tonkin, combined to a tonnage of 13,000 tons. According to Nguyen Thi Mot, 88 years old, living in Nghia Phu, in the past, Phu Tho wharf was always crowded with boats. Seeing that merchant ships bought sugar in large quantities for export, many people in Nghia Phu also went to trade in sugar in the past. After finding sugar-making villages in Nghia Dung, Nghia Dung to buy spoon sugar, people went back to work to cut the sugar into small lumps, then use a mallet to rub the sugar into powder. Finished sugar is packed into bags to sell to Chinese merchant ships, or to boats going south and north. It used to be one of the busiest trading ports in the province. However, now, Co Luy estuary is just an alluvial estuary, with few ships and boats absent. Once the most important export of Quang Ngai, but now the sugar processing factory in Quang Ngai has also ceased operations. One commodity that used to be the main export product through Sa Huynh gate is salt, which has fallen into a state of “falling in price” for many years, making salt farmers no longer interested in keeping the job… I don’t know when. , those products have regained their “position” as before?

Summer is considered the “business season” of Ly Son tourism (Quang Ngai). This year, however, everything turned upside down. These days, the pace of life on Ly Son island seems to slow down. There is no longer a busy scene of tourists as usual, instead it is a lonely, cold scene. That is because to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic from entering the area, Quang Ngai province banned all foreign tourists and international visitors to the island district. Therefore, industries related to tourism such as boats, canoes, trams, motels, hotels, homestays, restaurants, eateries, … all fall into a state of “hibernation”. The center of the island district at night is deserted Almost all accommodation establishments in the area are closed due to lack of guests Anchor ships wait for their turn to run alternately, operating frequency is only 20% of normal There are a total of 92 rooms of 4-star standard accommodation, nearly a month ago, Muong Thanh Ly Son hotel was still open for operation. Said to be active, but almost no guests came to rent the room. Mr. Bui Xuan Nghia – Director of Muong Thanh Ly Son Hotel, said that the unit has a total of 66 employees, currently only 5% are arranged to rotate activities. However, people who come only do cleaning and maintenance of equipment, but there are no guests to receive. Although there is no revenue, the unit still pays 40% of the monthly salary for employees to cover their lives and overcome difficulties. “Just got up after several consecutive epidemics, then storm No. 9, if this situation persists, I am afraid that people who live by tourism in Ly Son will find it difficult to sustain themselves” – Mr. Nghia worried. Opposite Muong Thanh Ly Son is Ngoc Island Resort – one of the large accommodation units on the island – which has been closed for more than three weeks now because there are no guests. Nearly all hotels, motels and homestays in Ly Son district are in a similar situation, “doors closed and bolted”. Many hotel and motel owners admit that they are facing a lot of difficulties because they have no revenue, while maintenance costs and bank loan interest are putting great pressure on. There were no tourists, so for nearly a month, the parking lot of the Ly Son District Labor Union was always in a state of no space. All cars are gathered here to “wait” for tourists, most tram drivers have found other jobs to make a living. The fleet of trams transporting tourists is gathered to the parking lot… lying down and waiting All shops and souvenir stalls serving tourists at scenic spots on the island are “covered”. If about a month ago, they were busy from early morning to late evening to take guests in and out of the port, visit, eat, … now, Vung – a 7-seat driver transports tourists on island – free again. Sighing, the young man sadly shared: “In the past, I ran a lot, now it takes a long time to get people on the island to get here and there. I don’t know when the situation will improve again.” Sharing the same fate at the wharf with the car is a fleet of ships and canoes. Normally, at the lowest point, every day the Sa Ky – Ly Son route also has at least three trains to connect the island to the mainland. But now there is only one turn left to serve the travel needs of people and officials working on the island, absolutely no tourists. Being able to run seems to be better if you look at the scene of dozens of canoes on the big island – the small island that have to be lined up close to each other, sunbathing in the rain for more than a month now in the boat anchorage because the route is completely paralyzed. . Fuck it, go find a job “fire fighting” Experiencing three consecutive epidemics, plus the impact of natural disasters, most of the restaurants in the area have been “hit”. Along the mobile route around the island, there are dozens of shops specializing in serving tourists, which have almost closed over the past month. The shop lingered open, but only a few local guests. Anh An – Manager of Ly Son Basket Seafood Restaurant, said that since the day there was a ban on visitors to the island, his restaurant had temporarily stopped operating, all staff were laid off. This time, he focuses on repairing the restaurant and upgrading the facilities so that when the epidemic is under control, the ban is lifted and it reopens. All major restaurants on the island are closed “There are many difficulties, but united and fighting the epidemic is the prerequisite task of each person. I believe that we will come back to life when the epidemic is under control,” said An. Without tourists, the source of income is therefore completely cut off, so tourism workers in Ly Son are facing the challenge of “survival” when their work will never return to normal. . Taking advantage of the availability, many guides have chosen to post the seafood sale on their personal facebook page; most drivers of ships, canoes and cars get off the boat to go to the sea; hotel owners selling onions, garlic, soft drinks, etc. Everyone tries to find a job “fire fighting” to make ends meet. Nhung – the receptionist of a large hotel – has been out of work for more than a month due to the closure of the hotel, and has managed to find a temporary job at a cafe near her house. “Like I was lucky, because many people now just stay at home, now have a job, have an income to cover expenses is what many people want, but the specificity of the island district is not easy.” , Nhung shared. Mr. Le Van Ninh – Vice Chairman of Ly Son District People’s Committee, said that due to the influence of the epidemic, the island district is not currently welcoming tourists. This is a move to protect people against complicated developments of the disease in some localities. “We do not know when the tourism activities in the locality will be restored, currently the impact of the epidemic is very large, seriously affecting the income and life of people,” said Ninh. to speak.

I find that to be appropriate, not much different from the outside, both protecting health and saving electricity. I also educate my children to turn off electrical appliances in the house when they do not need to use them. Vu Ha Ty customer in Nghia Dung commune – Quang Ngai city only uses the air conditioner when absolutely necessary and usually adjusts the temperature not too low to save energy. Ms. Ty shared: “My house is not located in the center, there are many gaps around, so I often use the wind and natural light in the house, minimizing the use of electricity to operate the cooling equipment. lighting”.

This is the necessary coordination to ensure the stability of the infrastructure, and to ensure the supply of electricity for production and daily life in the dry season of 2021.”
In addition, to prevent local overload due to high demand for electricity, from the beginning of the second quarter of 2021, PC Quang Ngai also directed its affiliated units to regularly check lines and substations. Thanks to the initiative in the plan and the use of modern equipment such as thermal cameras, flycams, Quang Ngai PC was able to immediately detect and detect abnormal signs occurring with the equipment, preventing problems. can happen.
The economical and efficient use of electricity by customers is also one of the important solutions to help Quang Ngai PCs fight overload, reduce “heat” for the power grid system; thereby contributing to helping PC Quang Ngai perform well the management and operation of the power grid safely and effectively, improving the quality of power supply for customers.

Along the S-shaped strip of land with more than 11,409.1km of coastline, the livelihoods of fishermen are always very hard. Mr. Nguyen Gia Vien (An Vinh island commune, Ly Son island district, Quang Ngai – owner of the boat QNg-96111TS) is a veteran fisherman and has a reputation for “killing fish” of Ly Son land. Only 45 years old, but he has nearly 30 years of clinging to the sea, of which 20 years as a captain of a fishing boat specializing in fishing at Hoang Sa and Truong Sa fishing grounds and owns a fleet of three large-capacity fishing vessels. His grandfather’s life was associated with the sea, his father’s life was associated with the sea, then he also grew up from trips like this. Mr. Vien said: “In the life of our ancestors, we went to sea by small old ships but still reached Hoang Sa and Truong Sa. Their ships are bigger, more people are equipped with more advanced equipment, they must reach out further. Despite storms and storms, the sea still goes out to sea without a day’s rest. Behind me is the rear. Also the family and the country! “. To have sea trips like this, he has worked hard for many years, in 2000, he bought 3 ships to sail, officially becoming the mainstay of his family. A corner of Ly Son Island. “Anh Vien has a knack for finding flocks of fish, so he always wins. Many other boat owners complained about the loss of capital, but with photos, each year, a fisherman like me is divided between 40-60 million VND. He is also a boat owner who has a heart for the sea “, said a fisherman on the boat Mr. Vien said. Nearly 30 years of clinging to the sea, clinging to ships with dozens of times facing great waves to save fishermen in distress, the reward for him is to regain the fisherman’s life from the hands of the water god, glasses of thanksgiving with many certificates of merit and certificates of merit from all levels and functional branches awarded. Many people jokingly call him Vien “inoc” because he can swim and dive under bone-cold water for many hours. Mr. Vien is one of the fishing boat owners who should work in Ly Son. Each year, with 3 fishing boats practicing lead net, he earns tens of billions of dong. On board, he equipped with many modern means to serve fishing. Mr. Vien confided: “This ship has a capacity of 450 CV, so it only takes 17 hours to run from Ly Son to Hoang Sa. The other fishermen’s ships took 2 days and 2 nights to arrive. Having fish is happy but without fish is sad. Although it is extreme, you still have to stick to the job, you can also bear it with any hard work. Going to the sea not only does business but also protects the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland. That is the responsibility of our fishermen! ”, He said as the boat was turning its nose back to Ly Son island in the middle of dawn. And Mr. Tan, another fisherman on Ly Son Island, confided: “Life is tied to the sea, rich and poor are also caused by the sea. In the past, it only took a few laborers to go to the sea to support the whole family, now the whole family goes to the beach not enough to eat. But, if you are hungry, you must come out! “. The sea also gave him a high-rise house with expensive equipment, and the children were allowed to go to school. Mr. Tan also lends capital to many fishermen to buy fishing gear. To the people here, he is not only a brave fisherman but also a kind neighbor, a model both at sea and on land. Looking at the flag on the ship, fishermen like Mr. Vien and Mr. Tan all whispered that when they came to Hoang Sa they could understand how the national flag and soul of the Fatherland were sacred. It is the Fatherland Flag that has given fishermen the strength to overcome storms, natural disasters and human ears, firmly clinging to the sea. Every time of danger in the ocean, looking up at the flag is like seeing our Fatherland and our people by our side. Sometimes during the fishing journey, fishermen’s ships have to carry some national flags so it is necessary to replace as soon as the gambling is stained or the wind is torn, to ensure that the flag on the roof of the ship is always crimson. , fresh. The Fatherland is sacred, the Fatherland Flag is the place where fishermen reach out to convey their beliefs and dreams. Despite the storms and dangers, but for them, the Fatherland is forever! Ly Son garlic specialty. One man happily boasted: “Do you see our island is beautiful? Is it worth being called a tourist paradise? ”, We nodded, he went out in the afternoon very well. He said, the main job on the island is just growing garlic, going to the beach and doing tourism. We have seen travel stories. What about going to the beach? “If you don’t go to the sea on an island, you are not an islander,” he said. Here, most of them are followers of the sea career, some 4-5 generations already! The sea is one with us! ”. Then he led us to the old fishermen who lived a lifetime in the sea. For the people of Re Island (another name of the big island of Ly Son), doing tourism is a profession belonging to the “royal court” compared to the seafaring profession, but only a few decades ago, still before. There, from the old to the children, all use the bow of the ship to make a living. When the sun had reached the roof of the West slope, we were happily sitting and chatting with the elders in the seafaring profession of this island, the side of the rice tray was also full of marine products. The elders who are in the age of “tri heaven” tell us about going out to sea the day before and feeling cold in their spine. Because in the old days, boats went wild and could not be compared to now. They are mainly sailing boats with the wind, yet the elders reached out to the “golden sand” (Hoang Sa) beach to catch them. Old fisherman Le Luong (77 years old) takes a full sip of wine and leisurely tells the story of his voyage nearly 20 years ago. That time, there were 6 nets on the old Luong boat, each arm was nearly kilometer long, but only 5 people. When they discovered large fish schools near Hoang Sa, people hurriedly released their nets and then rested for midnight to visit the net. At midnight, 1 person stayed in the boat, and 4 people divided into 2 baskets, following the edge of the net. Regardless of the storm, no one can contact each other, trying to cling to the buoy to keep the boat from being blown away by the wind. The lights of the storm went out, in the middle of the night, we struggled to save their lives, each of us struggled with the storm, with hunger for a whole day and night, then old fisherman Le Luong was thrown into the sea, morning After being rescued by a friend ship in the sea … Quang Ninh. And the people on the boat with him lost their breath. After a few days on a friend’s boat, the old man bought a train ticket to Quang Ngai, then boarded the boat to the island. That journey took exactly 10 days. When I got home, I found that the fishermen’s relatives were doing the rituals for us. When asked that, the friend on a basket in the storm drifted into the estuary of Da Nang, then came back and announced that he was missing in the middle of the sea during a thunderstorm night. Therefore, villagers in the fishing village and their family perform a burial ceremony, build a doll and prepare to be a wind tomb. Whoever doubts the old man will return, rejoice in the suspicion of smoky incense that day. Then, after that time, the old man went to the sea with his fishing friends, but now he cannot remember how many more trips. There are many other stories of old fishermen sitting around us, which cannot be fully told. When the wine of the old fishermen is coming to revival, the sea of ​​dark clouds comes. No one told anyone, as fast as a squirrel, the old fishermen of that age had stepped on the rocky edge of the water, the piles, the people pulling the ropes, brought the boats close to the shore to avoid being hit by the waves. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Chinh, Chairman of An Hai Commune Fisheries Union – Ly Son shared about the work that the fishing union is actively doing to help fishermen of this island: “Ly Son is an island to spend money. Country. The only job of the people is fishing and seaweed processing. People for generations just stick with the sea because the sea is a source of life that brings a piece of rice and money to school for children to go to school. However, fishing also brings losses and grief that cannot be compensated in kind. However, the salty taste of the sea has seeped into every grain of land, the people here, so clinging to the sea is an unchanging belief! ”. On the island money spent Brave fishermen of many generations have passed since ancient times, despite knowing the danger always lurking in the sea, perhaps for them, the salty taste of the sea is part of the inseparable flesh and blood. the crashing waves on the side of the boat were part of a sparkling hope. So even though many generations have been permanently lying in the ocean, people still look towards the sea. Every year, on March 16 of lunar calendar, the people on the island solemnly hold a ceremony to honor the posture of Hoang Sa soldiers to commemorate and pay tribute to the soldiers of the old Hoang Sa Squadron who bravely sacrificed and forever lying in the sea. The people and authorities on the island district have built up wind graves and set up the temple “Am Linh Tu and the tomb of soldiers of Hoang Sa”, which is the place to worship Hoang Sa soldiers and soldiers, Bac Hai, and “witnesses”. live ”is an important historical evidence proving Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago. The fishermen on the island prepare to fish at night. Compared to other festivals of the fishermen in the Central region, the Hoang Sa soldiers’ stance ceremony not only stops at the value of spiritual beliefs, but above all is an opportunity for the children of the country to express their gratitude to the mother of the East Sea. . The strange attraction of the festival is not only its rituals, rituals, practices, folk festivals but also its deep community meaning and value. The hot sun dissipates in the gentle waves that clap against the white sand. In the distance, there is a glimpse of fishing boats letting go of nets. Currently, the population of Ly Son island is more than 21,000 people. They remain with this land from generation to generation. Not because of the temptations around but leaving the homeland. The people here are always trying their best to study, strive and bring their strength to the development of their homeland. Life here is also quite prosperous now. The 2-3-storey houses have sprung up, cable TV is used by many households, there is a school for children on the island to come to class and a lot of facilities are built to serve people’s lives. . The life of the residents here is no different than on the mainland, there are spacious restaurants, 3-star hotels to serve tourists, bustling music cafes, market for all kinds of hammer, but most still. garlic and seafood species such as abalone, shrimp and fish. Except for seafood, other items are priced higher than the mainland because of the distance by the sea but not too expensive. The peaceful night of the island, only the waves crashing onto the rocky rapids, like the lullaby of the ancient sea. The island crouched in sleep after a day of welcoming guests. In the distance, the light of squid fishing boats shimmering like flocks of fireflies flickering in the thick black sea. Standing between the earth and the sky and the vast sea like that, you can see that your country is extremely beautiful. I kept on talking about the vitality of people in the first wave. They are the lights on the sea of ​​money to spend, to keep the sea and sky the country for many generations.

Facing the closure of illegal sand mining sites, hundreds of truck drivers flocked to Hop Nghia sand mine in Nghia Dung commune, Quang Ngai city in long queues waiting to buy sand on the Tra Khuc river. The price of sand increased dramatically According to truck drivers, the price of sand surged in a short time, making both the driver and the house-builder face many difficulties. “Seeing that many trucks flocked here are too crowded, so we increased the selling price to 170,000 VND / m3 so that they could withdraw less but not shovel the sand in time. Currently, we have reduced the selling price for each sand block to 140,000 VND” explains Hop Nghia sand mine management staff Dozens of trucks line up to buy sand on Tra Khuc River in Village 6, Nghia Dung Commune, Quang Ngai City.

If they neglect to declare or issue an invoice, they will violate the tax law and be fined and collect money. tax like any other business, “Trung stressed. Competition is not fair According to businesses, it takes from 6 months to a year to complete sand mine auction procedures, including: Documenting exploration, reserve assessment, hiring a consultant to design documents, assess the environmental impact. school, gathering community opinions, handing over landmarks … Mining auctions have to pay billions of VND in natural resources tax, large costs to hire consultants to prepare design documents, assess environmental impacts, collect community opinions … “We have to adjust the selling price of sand to compensate for the losses of mine auction costs.

Again, this project was started more than 5 years ago. Resolution of the XIXth Congress of the Party Committee of Quang Ngai province has identified the implementation of the project as one of the key tasks to promote socio-economic development, especially tourism. At the end of 2019, the Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark project was sent to UNESCO and passed the preliminary round, awaiting UNESCO’s recognition. But now, considering withdrawing the project, the opportunity for international tourists to know about this unique geological area is very fragile. Ly Son Island (Quang Ngai) – Photo: LE THI THU THANH Geopark is a unique natural area with high geological, historical and cultural value. Recognizing this geological area, the country will have specific regulations on planning and conservation to protect its unique value, while also introducing it to the world, especially tourists. For a province with few tourism products like Quang Ngai, this is an opportunity to promote the local image, revive the way of sustainable tourism. It is a pity to deny this opportunity while the revenue of the local tourism industry is still modest, only about 1,100 billion VND (in 2019). Ly Son island district in recent years is mentioned quite interestingly by many beautiful natural seascape. If only that, Ly Son is also difficult to compete with other destinations because our country has 28 provinces and cities bordering the sea with a length of more than 3,200 km and hundreds of islands near the shore. Beautiful scenery everywhere, but when it comes to geological parks recognized by UNESCO, there are only 3: Dong Van Rock Plateau (Ha Giang), Cao Bang Non-country and Dak Nong. Without perfect protection policy, soon Ly Son – Sa Huynh special geological area will be compromised. Look at Quang Nam’s “neighbor” doing tourism. An ancient town of Hoi An, quiet for hundreds of years, is suddenly a destination attracting tourists from all four directions. The idyllic, abandoned My Son in the forest has been awakened by great historical and cultural values ​​… Quang Nam’s “Heritage Road” brand is always in the tourist handbook of international tourists for decades. More specifically by numbers: in 2019, Quang Nam attracts more than 4.6 million international visitors, tourism revenue of more than 4,600 billion. This is cultural – historical – scientific tourism, so immediate effects cannot be expected. However, cultural tourism will have a stable source of income, creating sustainable jobs for local residents. Therefore, Quang Ngai province needs to consider carefully when making a decision on the Ly Son – Sa Huynh Geopark project.

Nguyen Ngoc Ga, a photographer living in Da Lat (Lam Dong) often spends once a year to visit his hometown of Quang Ngai. Leaving the busy streets of tourists in Da Lat, he felt a peaceful breath in his days back home. “I come from Quang Ngai but only come back once a year so I don’t know the point, I have to look it up online. In the morning, I often go for a walk and record the daily life of the people. very beautiful, “shared Ngoc Ga. In the photo, a resident is catching mussels in Sa Huynh. During her return to her hometown, Ngoc Ga spent her time traveling to many places such as My A Sea, Sa Huynh Sea, Sa Huynh salt field, Ly Son island, Ba To mountain area … “Quang Ngai is a pristine land, The weather is harsh, hot and often subject to natural disasters and floods, “he said. My A sea mouth (Duc Pho) has a vague color in the moment of harmony between light and darkness. This is not a tourist destination that is often interested by tourists. This place mainly concentrates fishing boats of fishermen. Walking around this area you will also find breakwaters covered with green moss. People mentioned a lot about the breakwater and moss season in Phu Yen. However, few people know that in Quang Ngai, there are also wave-breakers in this beautiful picture. “The scenery here is beautiful but the tourism has not made a breakthrough. I think Quang Ngai needs to invest heavily in island tourism, connecting tours, routes, expanding the convenient shuttle system to Ly Son”, he commented. During the day wandering at the estuary of My A sea, Ngoc Ga waited until night to record the moment of the galaxy on top of the shipyard. A place with little light and fresh air like Quang Ngai is a great destination for photographers looking for “milky way” hunting. A corner of the starry sky above the waves covered with green moss. The gentle and peaceful life of the local people makes Ngoc Ga want to go more and record the moments of everyday life. These green fishing nets are indispensable tools for livelihoods for marine fishermen. However, it also often appears in the photos of many photographers. They often refer to these nets as “the ribbon of the sea”. “There are lonely trees in my hometown, but no one mentioned them,” said the photographer. This photo was taken by Ngoc Ga on Be Island (Ly Son). Compared to many other regions in Quang Ngai, Ly Son is more popular with tourists. However, according to Ngoc Ga, Quang Ngai deserves to be known more, instead of just Ly Son as it is now. “My hometown has a favorable geographical position such as Da Nang – Quang Ngai expressway, Chu Lai airport, Dung Quat deep sea port. More than 100 km of beautiful coastline with Ly Son, Yen ganh, Sa Huynh. .. Quang Ngai’s topography is also diverse and many relics, cultural and historical sites “, Ngoc Ga said.

The gourd garden of Mr. Ho Tan Linh. Dream several decades Mr. Ho Tan Linh (Bac 2 village, Tra Son commune, Tra Bong district) is known as a “veteran” in gourd plantations. Mr. Linh brought out a large plastic wrap, in which there were wooden pieces of many sizes. Selecting a small piece of wood, he lit a fire and said: “This is the stem of the gourd tree that has just produced oil, it is still” young “so it is soft and easy to rot, the smell is also mild. I tried hard to check, someone asked to buy but not to sell. Pieces of gourd wood with a slight fragrance were carefully stored by Mr. Linh. Mr. Linh’s garden has about hundred gourd trees over 20 years old. Almost all storms collapsed in 1999, causing it. A few years ago, a trader also asked to buy for 1 million VND / tree to pump chemicals to create oil, but he did not agree. “Planting this seed is planting the hope of a life change, selling them as much as possible, and then spending it all. If we leave it there, we still hope, if we only need 1 tree to create oil, we can get hundreds of millions of VND, many billions of dollars, ”he said. The holes drilled in the trunk of the gourd in Mr. Linh’s garden. Waiting forever without seeing the tree creating oil, giving off the scent, he hired himself to drill holes in the tree to lure the ants into the nest. “The same ant to live in, the tree will secrete oil, the depression is formed from there,” he shared. Like Mr. Linh, Mr. Ho Van Don (Bac 2 village, Tra Son commune) embraced the dream of a billionaire agarwood for more than 2 decades. When he was only twenty years old, Mr. Don roamed all over the mountains and forests of Tra Bong, climbed to the top of Ca Dam to “hunt” for gourds to plant in his garden. Mr. Ho Van Don has embraced the dream of a billionaire for over 20 years. “At that time, we all walked, but crossed the pass, crossed the stream, and searched the forest day and night to find natural gourds to plant. Each phase takes about 3 or 4 days, the lucky one can earn a few dozen trees, the few will only take a few trees. I can’t remember how many times I went to get about 100 trees in the garden ”, Mr. Don recalls. More than 20 years have passed, Mr. Don’s dream has yet to come true. In the garden, the amount of trees was gradually lost, part died from disease, partly due to wind storms. The sober, the one still dreaming Several decades ago, starting from the story of the forest goers changing their lives by winning incense, the gourd planting movement spread throughout the mountainous communes of Quang Ngai. Particularly in Tra Son commune, all the villages are growing gourd plants. Almost every house has planted, a few tens or even thousands of trees. But after a period of inefficiency, many people cut it down to switch to acacia, others still have hope. The movement of growing gourd had spread everywhere in Tra Son. Mr. Ho Thanh On (Dong hamlet, Tra Son commune, Tra Bong district) has been charming and pregnant since he was 30 years old. Deciding to play a “big gamble”, he bought the seedlings of 5,000 gourd trees, kept 1,000 trees for planting, and the rest sold them to neighbors. He calculated that with only about that many trees, 10 million after selling each tree, it would get 10 billion VND. However, after planting a few years, the trees will die massively, and the trees are dying and waiting for buyers. Three years ago, he sold 116 trees at the price of 55 million dong to a trader. They drilled holes for the drug to be transplanted, but now it is not able to create incense. Many trees have fallen due to a heavy storm. Storm No. 9 last year caused many trees to fall onto the roof, causing damage, but Mr. On has not bothered to fix it for months. As for Mr. Ho Van Chan (Bac 2 village, Tra Son commune), hoping to change his life through incense, he hired someone to flatten the garden to plant gourd plants. “There are only trees selling here, but never creating agarwood. I did not see the depression forever, the wind stormed again, so the trees fell all over, stopped cutting them down to plant acacia ”, he said. A gourd planting area has flattened. Meanwhile, after more than 20 years of waiting, Mr. Ho Tan Linh is still pursuing the dream of changing his life. “In this country, people always say: First ivory, second incense. If the tree is still there, I hope it remains. If we can’t eat it, our children will enjoy… ”Mr. Linh was sure. Mr. Ho Van Tien – Chairman of Tra Son Commune Farmers Association mused: “The fever of growing gourd has cooled down gradually over the years. Currently, people are still nurturing and cultivating, some people are cut off. Like me, I also cut down dozens of gourd trees because I don’t feel like I have to wait forever ”. According to the gourd growers, the process of creating frankincense from the gourd plant is the reaction of wood particles to external influences such as cracks, pathogenic fungi, … When an area is If it is damaged, the plant secretes its own resin as a way to dress the wound. The harmonious combination of resin oil and wood of the gourd tree has created frankincense. In nature, not all plants produce agarwood. Agarwood is usually found in trees from 10 years on. Agarwood has very high economic value and is classified into many types, of which type 1 usually ranges from a few hundred million to several billion dong.
