Tourism crisis Later restart the River cruises

Status: 19.06.2021 3:29 p.m.

River cruise ships are back in Bavaria – because of the infection protection with fewer guests on board. The long absence of the ships has left deep marks along the routes.

By Sebastian Grosser and Martin Gruber, BR

A melody sounds on deck of the river ship “NickoSpirit” before cruise director Ferdinand Selig starts his speech. “Welcome to Regensburg, dear passengers.” In front of Selig is a piece of paper with several names, which are in turn marked with different colors. “Please remember your grouping and don’t forget your mask when you leave the ship,” he says. At this point, several passengers have already gathered at the entrance of the ship to go ashore for a tour of the city. A maximum of 14 people are allowed in a group. This is part of infection protection.

Million revenues before Corona

The “NickoSpirit” is the first river cruise ship to be moored in Regensburg this year. Usually the season starts in spring. But Corona put the once booming tourism industry on the back burner in 2021. The Regensburger Stadtwerk, which manages the pier, is expecting around 100 landings this year. Similar to 2020, in the first Corona year, the city is expected to turn over only 100,000 euros with the ships. For comparison: in 2019, more than 1000 ships moored in Regensburg, with which the city was able to bring in a turnover of 1.3 million euros.

Hard times for tour guides

Michaela Ederer is already waiting for the guests at the Donaulände, where the “NickoSpirit” moored. The tour guide has longingly awaited the first ship and its passengers. “The last few months have been really tough,” she says. “The majority of the tour guides work as freelancers and rely on the tour guides and the sales they generate with them.”

In the peak of the pandemic, around 7500 tour guides nationwide were unemployed, says Ederer, who is also on the board of the Federal Association of Tour Guides in Germany. Many of her colleagues should have tapped their retirement reserves. “We are therefore very happy,” she says, referring to the arrival of the first passengers.

Passengers: No problem with infection protection

While the guests with audio guides in their ears follow the tour operator’s blue tablet to explore the historic old town of Regensburg, cruise director Selig talks to the passengers who have stayed on the ship. Unless they are sitting in the restaurant or on the summer deck, they all wear mouth and nose protection. Many of the mostly older passengers do not mind the infection control measures. “The guests are used to it,” says Selig. For the provider of cruise travel, however, creating a suitable hygiene concept was a bit of a challenge: In order to maintain the distance, only 143 of the otherwise 170 passengers are currently allowed on board. There is even a certified test center on the “NickoSpirit” so that everyone on the ship can be tested every 48 hours.

End of the cruise boom

While the provider Nicko had previously relied mainly on a German-speaking audience, other shipping companies, such as the largest industry association IG Rivercruise, have a harder time BR demand notifies. In particular, sales of shipping companies that specialize exclusively in guests from overseas such as the USA or Australia fell by 100 percent last year. But also those ships that were able to sail between July and October 2020 recorded losses of between 60 and 70 percent.

“The Queen would declare the year 2020 to be an ‘annus horribilis’. The IG Rivercruise joins this,” said the Industry association. The forecast for 2021 is no better. “The season is short,” said IG Rivercruise. Individual providers have therefore filed for bankruptcy, but had already got into financial difficulties before the pandemic.

Souvenir shops before the end

The lack of cruise business also brought Gabriele Winklmeier into existential difficulties. The 58-year-old has a souvenir shop in the old town of Passau. The ship tourists from the USA and France would actually be their main business. Due to the pandemic, hardly anything happened last year, according to Winklmeier. “This year, too, things have been bad so far: no buses, no ships, no customers. Now the first cruise ships are arriving, but they all dock outside.” She will probably give up her souvenir shop – after 17 years.

Winklmeier looks back with sadness: “Three years ago all hell was going on here. 300 guests as early as eight in the morning. You could still do business there. Today it can happen to me that I don’t have a turnover of 30 euros.” The guests of “NickoSpirit” will probably no longer buy souvenirs in Winklmeier’s shop. The cruise on the river ends in Passau. Several buses are waiting along the landing stage where the suitcases are already lined up. Cruise manager Selig, who has to say goodbye to his guests after nine days, draws a positive balance: “It was a relaxed trip, even if it seems unrelaxed. We were well prepared with the tests on board. Many guests were vaccinated or recovered. That is natural also a great relief for us. “

We know that the Wei River, which flows through dozens of cities and counties in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, is the largest tributary of the Yellow River. It has a total length of 818 kilometers and accommodates approximately 270 large and small rivers. It is one of the oldest rivers in China. This is the birthplace of the ancestors Fuxi and Nuwa in ancient Chinese legends. It is the origin of the first ancestors of the Chinese people, Xuanyuan Huangdi and Shennongyan. Legendary stories such as Emperor Wen’s “Baling Tuomeng” are one of the oldest habitats of the Chinese nation and one of the earliest birthplaces of Chinese culture. But who would have thought that the source of such a mighty Weihe River, which is dwindling thousands of miles day by day, is the three-eyed clear spring hidden in the depths of a mountain named after “birds and mice”? This mountain is the uncommon mountain Niaoshushan, which is known by the Scriptures. This eye spring is the “Pinzi Spring” in the deep forest on the south side of the mountain. Niaoshu Mountain, recorded in the “Shanhai Jing·Xishan Jing” as “Birds and Rats with the Same Cavern Mountain”, is located about 10 kilometers southwest of Weiyuan County, Gansu, and belongs to the remnant of Kunlun Mountains. It is the watershed of the two rivers of Tao and Wei. The birthplace of the Weihe River. There are many historical records about this mountain. For example, in Shangshu·Yugong, it was mentioned that Yu had “guided the Wei from the same cave and the mountain with birds and mice” during the water management. The record of “Niaoshushan in the south of Weiguting in Shouyang County, Longxi Province” and so on. The name is called because there are a lot of birds and rodents in the mountains, and the geographical environment is particularly special. There are no trees for birds to make nests to lay eggs. In order to ensure the safety of their eggs, the birds decided to settle in mice. In the cave, over time, the bird and the mouse are mutually beneficial and coexist in harmony, and there is a scene of “birds and mice in the same cave” that people have seen. In fact, there are many legends about the same cave with birds and mice. It is said that the bird and the mouse were changed by a loving couple. The wife is hardworking and kind, but the husband is lazy. Although the days are poor, he is respectful and respectful. The husband often admires the birds in the sky, being leisurely and free from labor. One day his wife accidentally rescued the Dragon King of the Weihe River by the river. In order to repay her, the Dragon King asked her to go to the opposite mountain when the cock cried the next day. When the appointment was made, the husband was lazy, and when his wife climbed to the top of the mountain. He just arrived at the mountainside, so the Weihe Dragon King gave his wife a pair of wings that could fly into the sky, but the husband only got a pair of sharp teeth for eating wild fruits. The wife can’t forget the husband she loved, so she went to live with her husband in the cave. This is the beautiful legend of the same cave with birds and mice. Since we talked about Niaoshu Mountain, of course we have to talk about the “Pinzi Spring” at the source of the Weihe River hidden deep in the mountain forest. As the name suggests, Pinzi Spring is composed of clear springs with three eyes in the structure of “Ping”, and each spring has very ancient legends. The “Legend Whip Spring” was named after the word “Legend Whip” was written here by the king of Tang. It is said that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, passed by here during his western expedition. When drinking water in the spring, he accidentally dropped his whip and disappeared. So he wrote down the word “Legend Whip” by the spring as a mark. “Yu Yangquan” was named because it was called a divine spring by Yu. The Temple of King Yu by the spring was built to commemorate Yu’s governance of the Wei River. When Dayu and the God of Water worked together in a decisive battle here, his soldiers drank the spring when they were tired of people and horses. They felt refreshed and morale. They defeated Gonggong in one fell swoop and won the victory in water control. “Tuyunquan” is said to be the “Dragon Pond” of the Dragon King of the Weihe River. According to legend, someone once saw the Dragon King here spit out smoke and clouds, spreading clouds and rain, and it is said that it rains whenever there is bubbling in the spring. Of course, in addition to the profound historical and cultural background, and the rich cultural landscape, the natural scenery of Niaoshu Mountain is also extremely beautiful. Here, the green hills are like Daisies, the clear waters are like practice, the forests are dense, and the ecology is excellent. If you have the opportunity to go to Gansu, you must take a look.

But whether it is Shizhu Village or Xilingxia Village, few people have heard of it, and it is still in the “less-known” tourism development. Xilingxia Village is located in the southwest of Quyuan Town, Zigui County. It is the southern gate of Quyuan Town. Provincial Highway 334 runs through it. It has convenient transportation and beautiful environment. Quyuan Town, this is a name with a taste of history. Zigui is the hometown of Qu Yuan and his birthplace is in Quyuan Town. Quyuan Town is located between Niuganmafei Gorge and Bingshubaojian Gorge in Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River, straddling the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. As the birthplace of Qu Yuan, the four major cultural celebrities in the world, the town of Quyuan has a profound cultural heritage and rich and colorful Xiajiang culture, but it is little known because of its deep hiding. As the most representative scenery of Xiling Gorge in Quyuan Town, it can be described as shocking. Xiling Gorge is famous for its twists and turns, forests of strange rocks, fast beaches, and thrilling boating. It is the longest canyon in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu once left a famous sentence of “Xiling Mountains and Waters Are Better in the World”. On the south bank of Xiling Gorge, there is a quiet and ancient village, Xiling Gorge Village, where Quyuan Culture and Xiajiang Culture meet. Xilingxia Village has a land area of ​​13.4 square kilometers and a forest coverage rate of 82%. On August 26, 2020, it was selected as the second batch of national rural tourism key villages. Xiajiang culture has been precipitated and passed on for thousands of years. Although Xilingxia Village is going to be developed for tourism, when we go all the way down the winding Panshan Road and when the scenery of Gaoxia Pinghu Lake is panoramic, Xilingxia Village, which is under tourism development, still exudes a primitive, natural and simple atmosphere. . Xilingxia Village has its name and power. Unlike the poetic and painting mood of Shizhu Village in Jiuwanxi Town, Xilingxia Village is full of grandeur and grandeur. Although the territory is not large, the geographical location facing the Yangtze River and the Lianzi Cliff shows its imposing pattern. It is located in the core area of ​​the Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is named after the Xiling Gorge, showing the steep and beautiful scenery of Xiling Gorge. . Xiling Gorge Village is home to three famous scenic spots: Lianzi Cliff, Niuganmafei Gorge, and Bingshu Baojian Gorge. Among them, the two famous geological disasters at home and abroad: the Xintan landslide and the Lianziyan project are breathtaking. They not only have infinite awe of nature, but also full of admiration for the current project. The management of dangerous rocks is a wonder. But just in such a “heroic” natural scenery, Xilingxia Village also has its own little sentiment. Walking into the village, I saw white walls and tiles, wooden lattice doors and windows. The beautiful village is like a tourist town that “shuns the world”. Overnight at the Manyun No. 1 B&B, the minor tunes of literary and artistic youth emerged spontaneously. Along the newly built riverside trail leading to the foot of Lianziya Mountain, the magnificent scenery of the Xiajiang River is refreshing. Thousands of sails in the river fly, orange groves on both sides of the bank, yellow and green side by side, fruitful, gorge winds, intoxicating, strange and dangerous landscapes and long cultural history teach people to linger. Xilingxia Village is located at 30°C north latitude, and the unique microclimate of the Xiajiang River creates the unique flavor of the fruits there. On the way to Lianziya, the scent of navel orange permeated, extending to the depths of the scenic spot. Lianzi Cliff was originally named “Lock Mountain” and “Lock Mountain”. According to legend, it has magical power to close the lock and will not fall for a long time. It is said to be a natural scenic spot integrating mountain climbing, range rover and adventure. There is “Zhu Rong” in the scenic spot. There are more than 100 large and small scenic spots such as statues, “Orange Song Garden”, Guixiang Temple, Wagang Village, and the Hall of Souls. Among them, I am quite interested in the Guixiang Temple (this is entirely due to my personal interest in Buddhist history and Buddhist architecture). The Guixiang Temple is named for commemorating Qu Yuan’s return to his hometown. It has a history of more than 1,700 years. It is the oldest temple in the Three Gorges area and the richest cultural connotation. The Guixiang Temple is built on the cliff, standing on the cliff, and standing in front of the Guixiang Temple. The scenery of Xiling Gorge and the scenic scenery of Gaoxia Ping Lake are unobstructed and unobstructed. And the Xilingxia Village, full of the scent of navel orange, looked like a painting from a distance.

1. Which river is the hottest in the world? Icon Boiling River Icon Congo River Icon Nile River The correct answer is answer A: According to the Telegraph, the Boiling River, located deep in the Amazon rainforest, is the hottest river in the world. Locals call the river “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “boiling with the heat of the Sun”. The Boiling River is about 25 m wide and 6 m deep but only extends for about 6.4 km. The river water temperature always fluctuates from 50 to 90 degrees Celsius, sometimes up to 100 degrees, enough to cause anyone who touches it even for a few seconds to get 3rd degree burns. 2. In which country is the Boiling River located? Icon Colombia Icon Peru Icon Ecuador The correct answer is answer B: Peru, officially the Republic of Peru, is located in South America, bordered to the north by Ecuador and Colombia, to the east by Brazil, to the southeast by Bolivia, to the south by Chile and to the west by Peru. is the Pacific Ocean. The national area is about 1,285,000 square kilometers, the population is more than 32.6 million, the capital is Lima. In 2011, scientist Andrés Ruzo witnessed this river with his own eyes. Mirror reports that Mr. Ruzo has heard from him about Shanay-timpishka since he was 12 years old. According to what is said, the river was discovered by the Spaniards when they were deep in the forest looking for gold. Some of the people on the way back said that this land was dangerous, filled with poisonous water, man-eating snakes, hunger and thirst, disease, a river boiling from the bottom. He was later told by his aunt that he had seen the river. Originally studying for a PhD in geology at Southern Methodist University, Ruzo was really curious about this river. He consulted with colleagues at school, oil, gas and mining companies, all suggesting that the river is not real because the boiling rivers and lakes in the world often have a relationship with volcanoes. While the Amazon has almost no sign of any volcanoes. Despite all the disproved theories, Ruzo still decided to go deep into the forest and track down the location of the river that had cured the Ashaninka people in Mayantuyacu. The boiling river seemed to be out of the world, but Ruzo discovered it. He wrote a book about this river in 2016 called The Boiling River, Adventure and Discovery in the Amazon (roughly translated as Boiling River, adventure and discovery in the Amazon jungle) in the hope that the book will draw public attention to the real natural wonder and care to protect it against the growing threat from illegal logging. 3. Where is the hottest place on Earth with the temperature like walking on a baking pan? Icon Dasht-e Lut . Desert Icon Sahara Desert Icon Kalahari Desert The correct answer is answer A: According to Oddity Central (UK), the Dasht-e Lut desert, Persian for “empty plain”, is a large salt desert. Scientists believe that this desert region known as the “fire pan” of the Earth was formed on the seabed. Millions of years ago, the tectonic change of the sea floor rose, the water also gradually evaporated due to the increased temperature. Today, Dasht-e Lut becomes a barren land with an area of ​​​​about 51,800 km, surrounded by mountains on all sides. This prevented moist air from the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas from entering the desert, contributing to the record-breaking temperatures. The medium-resolution imaging spectrometer installed on NASA’s Aqua satellite conducted global surveys between 2003 and 2010. Collected data Data collected shows that the highest temperature ever recorded in Dasht-e Lut was 70.7 degrees Celsius in 2005. According to satellite data, this Iranian desert has the highest annual temperature in 5-7. 4. Which of the following lakes boil all year round? Icon Lake in the island of Dominica, Caribbean Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer A: This is a boiling lake, located in the national park of the island of Dominica, Caribbean. This lake is 61m wide, 59m deep, the water is grayish blue. The temperature at the edge of this lake reaches about 82-92 degrees Celsius, the lake surface is often covered with a layer of white mist. Many people are curious why this lake is boiling all year round. The reason is that at the bottom of the lake there is a fountain, it can spray out many different gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide… These gases can create bubbles up to 2-3m high, looks like the lake is boiling. In fact, the most terrible thing about this lake is not the temperature but the toxic gas. The plants and animals around the lake were greatly affected. Most of the factories have gone bankrupt and the surrounding area is uninhabited. 5. Which of the following lakes is likened to an “invisible killer lake”? Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Blue Lagoon, Iceland Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer C: This lake looks beautiful from afar, but there isn’t any living creature inside. The lake looks very peaceful, quiet, looks like an ordinary lake, even more beautiful when the water is very clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the lake surface. The lake is only beautiful when viewed from a distance because the lake is full of poison underneath. If you stand near the lake for 1 hour, people will die of poisoning. Therefore, this lake is also known as “the invisible killer lake”. 6. Where is the hottest place on earth where human life exists? Icon Dallol Icon Valley of Death Icon Death Valley The correct answer is A: Dallol is the hottest place on earth, but still inhabited by the Afar people, a nomadic tribe living in portable huts. Dallol is located in the Danakil Desert Basin, a remote area in northern Ethiopia, bordering Eritrea. This is a very remote and least explored place in the world. In addition to the heat from the sun, Dallol is also subjected to heat from hot sulfur and lava lakes, making the average annual temperature here always at 34.4 degrees Celsius. 7. Where is the hottest surface temperature on Earth? Icon Dead valley Icon Lut Desert The correct answer is answer B: New research into the highest surface temperatures on Earth reveals that the Lut Desert in Iran and the Sonoran Desert in North America are hotter than Death Valley in the US. The Lut Desert holds the top spot for the world’s highest ground temperature. From 2002 to 2019, this sandy area regularly hit the highest temperature threshold, likely due to its location among the mountains, causing hot air to be trapped above the dunes, especially in areas including covered with black volcanic rock. The new findings are in line with research published in 2011 that concluded the Lut desert is one of the hottest spots on Earth. From 2004 to 2007 and 2009, the Lut Desert experienced the highest surface temperature on the planet. In 2005, preliminary data showed that the area had a temperature of up to 70.7 degrees Celsius, although the new study authors say the estimate is likely to be lower than reality. From that initial analysis, NASA announced a new version of satellite software, allowing for more accurate determination of the ground temperature on Earth. Using the updated version, the researchers were able to conclude that the temperature in the Lut Desert was in fact 10 degrees higher than previously thought. The Sonoran Desert, which lies on the border between the United States and Mexico, is similarly hot, although not as hot as the Lut desert often. The desert’s low altitude means the air is less likely to rise and cool. Result Please work harder! point

Architect AD9Architects said that the first approach of the architect at this project was a handmade card shop. The remaining functional blocks are organized based on the balance factor. The house faces the West, so the buffer spaces are formed as an essential reason to minimize noise, dust and heat. The gaps found are the transparency where fresh air, trees, and light bring together many of the elements needed for a tube house in the central climate. Da Nang house is located in Vip island area, Hoa Xuan ward, Cam Le district, Da Nang city, completed in 2020. The house has an area of ​​​​500 m², the facade of the building stands out with the color of baked bricks arranged in blocks. The round squares in the front are planted with trees, as a highlight for the house in the middle of the urban area. The materials used are mostly bought locally such as fired bricks, natural split stone, washed stone… The interior is used from the family’s previous house. The architect shared: “The completion of a housing project during the COVID-19 epidemic period is something the office feels very precious, thank you to the construction teams and families for always accompanying us. .” The architect designed many buffer spaces to minimize noise, dust and heat. From the ground floor to the upper floors, all floors are connected to each other, this is to overcome the West facing house. Besides, trees, light and buffer space are essential elements for a tube house in the Central region. Public and private spaces are connected by atrium. The connection between members becomes easier. Fully equipped kitchen and dining room. A corner of planting trees in the front of the house to the west. The materials used in the house are mainly local materials such as fired bricks.

Here, mussels are not only a specialty dish with a famous brand throughout the country, but thanks to that, people have a fairly stable income. Every day, thanks to mussels, a section of La River in Ben Hen village is as bustling as a miniature market. Present in Ben Hen village, witnessing the busy buying and selling scene, besides in the village, the stoves boiling mussels smoke and the aroma from boiled mussels spreads throughout the whole area. The smokey mussels boiling stoves in Ben Hen Boiling mussels in a hut, Nguyen Thi Hoa, from Ben Hen village, Truong Son commune, Duc Tho district (Ha Tinh), said: “I don’t know when this profession was formed, only know that generations People in Ben Hen village, when born and grow up, all follow each other in the profession of raking mussels and boiling mussels. All expenses in life, building houses, buying supplies, taking care of their children and grandchildren’s education, all depend on income from mussel farming. According to Ms. Hoa, in the past, mussel making was difficult, very hard, all day long, husband and wife, brothers and sisters were stuck in the river, just worried about making enough to eat, did not have enough money, because at that time the price of mussels was too cheap. About 10 years ago, when mussels became a clean food, a popular specialty, the price was high, so the mussel industry in Ben Hen is growing strongly and bringing a good source of income. determined for the people. Ben Hen is growing stronger and bringing a fairly stable source of income The reason is called the profession “going backward” because in the past, mussel making was not as modern as it is now, to catch mussels, people had to use a rake with a rectangular trough, 1-1.5m long handle to rake. The rake just went backwards and shook it to treat the mussels. Now, just sitting on a motorboat, plugging a rake into the sand and then running the engine along the river a few times, there are dozens of kilograms of mussels. Because the value of mussels is high and the mussels in Ben Hen have affirmed their brand, many traders have come to the place to buy in large quantities and then transport them everywhere for consumption. Thanks to that, mussel workers do not have to worry about output, raking as much as they can consume. The mussel fishing season lasts almost all year round, but the peak season and the most mussels are from January to June of the lunar calendar. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job “going backwards”. Ben Hen village currently has 150 households living by raking mussels – a job that “goes backward”, sunbathing with his back, his face in the water all day, and working hard at night picking and washing mussels. Although it is less difficult than before, the job of making mussels requires health, perseverance and hard work. After scraping, all mussels are used up, the shells are gathered and calcined into lime for construction, agricultural production or finely milled as food for chickens and ducks; mussel intestine used to process dishes; Mussels are used to make soup. Mr. Nguyen Quang Tuan, a resident of Ben Hen told reporters about the process of making mussels. He said: “We men, who are healthy, go on a motorboat to rake mussels on the river, on average 2-3 people per boat. And women stay at home to soak mussels, boil mussels, treat mussels clean… Every day, work usually starts from 2-3 am until late afternoon”. Mussels enrich the whole village Sharing with reporters, Ms. Nguyen Thi Sen, who has been involved in this profession for a long time, said: “Mussels are “a blessing from heaven” given to these villagers, my whole family has been working as mussel rakes for 4 generations on the La River. I also ate mussels but grew up, so even though I worked hard, I still had to keep the traditional profession of the village, “said Ms. Sen. Currently, mussels here are considered a clean specialty Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a resident of Hen wharf confided: “In the past, every day my husband and I just needed to go along the La River to rake a few tons of mussels, but now the mussel production is increasingly depleted, so people have to overcome kilometers along the river Ngan Sau, Ngan Pho or upstream Ben Thuy bridge (Vinh City) to bring back mussels. According to Mr. Tuan, in the peak season, there are boats raking more than 1 ton of mussels/day, the remaining average is 300-600kg/boat. The average income from making mussels is about 500,000 – 1 million VND/house/day. Compared to other occupations, this is the profession that is bringing in the highest and most stable income, creating many jobs for people… Especially, mussels here are now considered a clean specialty with economic value. high so people are very secure to stick to the job.

Khanh Thi is the cult “Queen of dancesport” of Vietnam, famous not only for her ability to dance gracefully but also for her dreamlike love story with her 12-year-old younger husband who was once her student. With Khanh Thi, even though she is one year older than her husband, the mother of two always focuses on taking care of her youthful and formidable appearance. In particular, since losing weight in terms of shape, Phan Hien’s wife has become more “reverse aging” thanks to her modern, eye-catching and bright dress. Although not a “brand woman lover”, but Khanh Thi also owns a lot of “expensive” items to complete the style more luxuriously. For example, when wearing a white dress, just pressing it with a bright red LV Wave bag is enough to shine brightly. Although only wearing a pearl-encrusted D&G belt when wearing a simple blouse and jeans, choosing stylish and trendy accessories is also one of the “great tricks” to help a mother of two “cheat” her age. admirable work. Following the personal page of “Queen of dancesport” recently, everyone can see that she loves dresses with sweet floral motifs. And to raise the style to be more fashionable, the 8X beauty also “carries” brand names on each outfit. Side by side with her husband, while Phan Hien only wears a very basic black and white outfit, wife U40 attracts all eyes with a bright pink and blue dress. The tropical motifs of the outfit not only help Khanh Thi affirm her style, catch up with seasonal trends, but also help her “cheat” her respectable age. In addition to the short skirt shape, the long and wide maxi dresses do not have the effect of highlighting the sexy curves, but are still strong enough to help the mother of two look brilliant and “age hack”. That is thanks to the choice of large floral motifs but with bright colors. Whether at home or while traveling, the patterned outfits always follow Khanh Thi, helping her complete her energetic look. For a mother of 2 children, wearing a dress with a wide body but with accents such as chest slit, shoulder … will make the look more sexy and elegant. Sometimes, Phan Hien’s wife also transforms herself with heat-patterned dresses that are both eye-catching and attractive when traveling. Thanks to the “expensive” bare back detail, just looking from the back, Khanh Thi’s sexy and beautiful beauty makes everyone have to look at them without taking their eyes off. Usually, when wearing a dense and colorful floral dress, Khanh Thi always cleverly chooses to design her outfit in a minimalist direction. This not only helps to reduce the cumbersomeness that easily causes cheesy but also helps the mother’s body curve to stand out more. In addition, another way for the beauty born in 1982 to “balance” the momentum and cake of the flower costumes is to requisition brand names. This is a way to help distract the eyes, avoid making the opposite person “dizzy” because of your dress, but still help her increase the elegance and fashion. When wearing a brilliant blue dress with striking baby flowers, Khanh Thi did not choose to mix & match with dazzling accessories, but only used a combo of slippers and sedge hats with basic black and white colors. The combo of hats and sandals from Dior fashion house with “expensive” price not only fulfills the task of helping Khanh Thi affirm the luxury but also reduces the cumbersome and heavy feeling of the outfit.

In addition to the name Cano Cristales given by explorer Andres Hurtado in 1980, the river is also known by tourists with many different names such as “rainbow river” or “river of five colors”. (Photo: Unsual Palace) (Photo: RCN Radio) At the time of the change of seasons of the year, this river will bring different colors such as red, yellow, green, blue, black, creating a magical and rare scene in the land of South America. These colors stand out against the yellow background of the sand in the riverbed, the green of the moss, the water and the dark patches from the rock holes that have given this river its beautiful name. This unique color is produced during the reproduction of aquatic plants in the river, scientifically known as Macarenia Clavigera, a species of river algae Podostemaceae. (Photo: El Tiempo) (Photo: Wiki Travel) This aquatic plant is the reason why the river is sometimes green, sometimes it turns bright red, orange yellow and even dark brown. The outstanding colors have created an interesting picture of nature that makes those who come here and witness this scene first-hand, surprised and admire the magic of nature. Locals say the best time to observe aquatic species is after a storm, when their colors are at their most vibrant. (Photo: Time of India) (Image: Getty Images) The Cano Cristales River is located in a rather remote area and is almost completely isolated from the outside. Therefore, this river still retains its wild and poetic beauty. (Photo: Zen.yandex) (Photo: Traveler) Besides admiring the strange scenery of the river, visitors here are also attracted by the rich flora and fauna. Serrania de la Macarena National Park is home to more than 400 species of birds and many rare animals such as turtles, iguanas and aguilas – birds are the national symbol of Colombia. Every year, this place welcomes millions of visitors. However, the Cano Cristales River only accepts visitors from June to December. From January to May, this area will be closed to let the ecosystem here “rest” and preserve.

Shanghai Songcheng is located on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area. It opened on April 29 before May Day. The location of Shanghai Songcheng is very superior. The magnificent river view and the city landscape are in harmony with each other. The unique charm of Shanghai is the magic city. Here you can see it at a glance. The transportation here is also very convenient. I took Metro Line 1 and transferred to Line 13 from Shanghai Station to Shibo Avenue Station, and then walked about 3 minutes to Shanghai Songcheng. Unlike the Songcheng cities of Hangzhou, Lijiang and Sanya that have been visited in the past, Shanghai Songcheng is located in a 6-storey building. It used to be the factory building of the No. 3 Shanghai Iron and Steel Plant, and later became the stage of Baosteel and World Expo. , Now it has been transformed and upgraded into the grand stage of Shanghai Songcheng Performing Arts Kingdom World Expo. Although Songcheng is concentrated in this 6-storey square building, the content is very rich, and each floor has its own excitement. For example, the Crossing Street and Magic Street on the 1st floor, the Book Bar on the 2nd floor, the Modern Dressing Hall and the Eternal Love Street on the 4th floor, the Tianshang Street Market and The Arabian Nights on the 6th floor, the Fairy Valley on the top terrace, and the Cliff Theater. A place worth checking in. Of course, the performing arts show here is even more exciting, and contains multiple theme shows. I remember that the first time I went to Songcheng, I went to Songcheng, Hangzhou. Both the internal layout and the soul “Songcheng Eternal Love” left a deep impression on me. I can also learn about the city while playing. history and culture. Shanghai Songcheng has also been combined with Shanghai’s profound historical and cultural heritage, both in the old and now, and this is what attracts me. Whether it is Shanghai in the last century or Shanghai today, this international magical city has always been a place to lead the trend. Walking into the dressing hall and wearing a distinctive cheongsam, it feels like a journey. Some people say that the bigger the easier the nostalgia, I think it’s not wrong at all. The past years are exactly what we are looking for now. Tianshang Street Market, in addition to the modern era, I think the most attractive place, but also a place beyond the film. The Arab elements of the Middle East are integrated here. The colorful products and the exotic scenery will give you the illusion of entering the Middle East. The color is visually enjoyable, and it gives people a very strong sense of impact. I believe everyone will scream great love when they see it! Since the opening of Shanghai Songcheng, “Elf Valley” has become a super popular check-in spot. There is an exotic “Hobbit House”. The houses are very exquisite and the details are well handled, attracting countless people to come here. Check in and take photos, just take a shot, it is the kind of beautiful blockbuster with its own ins style. Of course, as the “Shanghai Eternal Love” performance show that must be watched in a lifetime, it is a must-see, and it is the soul of the entire Shanghai Songcheng. “Shanghai Eternal Love” is divided into five acts, namely “Tracing the Origin of Shanghai and Shanghai”, “1921”, “Modern Times”, “Shanghai People”, and “Wind from the Sea”. Each act is performed very wonderfully. In addition to “Shanghai Eternal Love”, if it is a parent-child tour, “WA! “Dinosaurs” is a must-see; if you are a couple, a girlfriend or a family, you must watch “Passionate Samba”. This is a passionate and exciting food show. You can enjoy the delicious food while watching the performance, it feels natural Very pleasant. I don’t know, have you checked in at “Shanghai Songcheng” recently? What are your impressions of the play experience there? If you haven’t been, do you plan to visit Songcheng in Shanghai? Welcome to leave comments.

In the past, I don’t know when, when passing my house, the Chay River was split in two. The other half is straight, meek and smooth, creating an alluvial side, this side is curved, curvaceous, hooked to the mainland, forming a landslide. In the middle of the murky stream is Bai Giua, serenely rocky, serenely sandy, at that time, it was paradise, the residence of many storks, dadas, and shrimps. The beginning of the beach is rapids. The rock outstretched its chest to protect the gentle waist, carrying on its back trees, sands, crabs and mussels. From time to time, every time the hydroelectric power plant closes all three machines for repair, the river will dry up, only close to the protrusions, slippery mosses and boulders covered with shells and shells. mussels. At that time, we, the buffalo children, the butterfly children, the mothers, the sisters, the young teachers, the boarding students of the high school, often used to rush to call each other when the water was dry. pounce on. Daughters are baskets, pot people, eager to trick shrimp, catch crabs, scratch mussels. The son ignores the squealing, clattering, flapping wings of his parents, searching for eggs. Nature is so clever for the animals to camouflage and protect themselves. Bird eggs are the color of reed, while shrimp and crabs live in the waterholes, each child wears the same color of the rock. But it’s nothing! Just by looking deeply into the hollows of trees, bushes, crouching, looking closely at the clear water, you can see through the nests of eggs, the vibrating beards, the mechanical claws. Eggs are in the pocket. Shrimp then put the mouth of the basket into the flooded rock cavity, spread their hands in the shape of a bow, and slowly closed. The fan-shaped tails appeared, receded, receded, and then “Smashed” the whole shrimp body to snap into the mouth of the basket. One lift! In the basket, there are some three or four squishy shrimp! Catching crabs is not difficult, just gently put the small stones lying on top of each other in the heart of the pool to the side, waiting for the sand to settle down to see the bulging eyes. Trick your fingers into the two shells, grab them, and then raise all eight legs and two claws out of the water. Those shrimp and crabs put them in pots, break a few branches and leaves to cover them so that they don’t jump out, at night they will be red on the frugal tray of rice in each house, floating on the bowl of sweet jute vegetable soup, or soon after, it will be yellow, bare, and fall off on the coals of fire, in the bamboo tongs, blackening our young lips. Those eggs, put in a fresh bamboo tube with one end, add a little river water, set up next to the fire. Xo Xo… that’s it! The food of young buffaloes is often delicious and makes people remember for a long time! The sand spreads, hugs the body of the beach, stretches to the back and sinks under the pool. That place, I don’t know if it’s a bomb crater, but even though it has been deposited for a long time, even though the river has dried up, it is still deep and green. My children, being reminded by their mothers, watch out for anyone who dares to come close! Under those sand dunes, we caught mussels. The mussel catcher is a basket and a pot. Children carry small pots, big ones carry big pots. I, although tiny, always carry a large Soviet pot with me (once, when the factory flushed, because I was trying to keep the pot from drifting, I was almost swept into the hole) . Lazy mussels refuse to enter the cave to live, they live right under the sand. Well, old mussels, cavalier mussels, grandmother mussels, grandson mussels, and mussels are all equally lazy, so, just after a swipe of a hand in the sand, a series of belly-swallows will be exposed. If you like, pick up the water and pick it up, so you will get many big mussels! If you don’t like it, treat it, treat it, both big and small! Treating mussels is also simple: grab a basket of sand, bring it to a deep water, swirl it, shake it a few times, the sand will pass through the basket, leaving only the mussels, and put them in the pot. Done! Because it’s so easy to catch, all of us are greedy and like it. But if you like it, you’ll love it, if you like it, you’ll catch it, too much, too heavy, who can bring it back! But if you bring it back, then get someone to sell it, and when you sell it, no one will buy it! Therefore, there are times when we catch and release, release and catch again tomorrow, as a hobby of poor children. Saying not many people buy it is because every house can have a kid to catch! But if you have to buy it (although it’s very cheap, now it’s only from 8 to 10 thousand VND per kilogram, but the price in the past I don’t remember), then buying mussels back must be treated, cooked, smart, but not smart. It’s time to pick up and pick up, hunchback to get a bowl of soup, a bowl of porridge, then eat another dish quickly, to have time to rest, and still work tomorrow! Talking about making mussels, cooking mussels! The house is right next to the beach, and the big sisters often follow me, so whenever the water dries up, I go to catch mussels. Parents are busy, they can do it themselves! Under the guidance of my mother, after a few times of bewildered, while treating and pouring a few pots of mussels, my sisters and I became masters of mussel processing, indeed! Hey, baby mussels are thin-mouthed, easy to break, and easily scratched, so every time you go to catch them, you need to bring a big basket to treat big mussels. Once you’re done, you should wash the mussels right in the river so you don’t have to go home to draw water. Rub it hard, like washing peanuts. Thoroughly rub many times to make the mussel shells clean and shiny, then the pot of boiling water will be clear and fresh! Wash mussels, put in a large pot, pour water like cooking rice (as high as a knuckle), bring to a boil. When the pot of mussels starts to foam, put in a pinch of granulated salt, use chopsticks to stir vigorously and quickly with high heat. When mussels are hot, open their mouth, meet salt, add high heat, stir vigorously, meat will shrink, leave the shell and fall to the bottom of the pot. If you forget to slow down at this moment, you will have to sit down and pick up each mussel, your back will be tired! The splintering only takes a few minutes. Lower the pot, put a small strainer on the mouth of another pot, pour in the mussels. Water will trickle down. Decant this water to get really clear water, if you cook porridge, put it in a pressure cooker, drop the cleaned rice (remember to add a pinch of sticky rice to make it fragrant), boil until smoldering and then let it smolder for fifteen minutes, then turn off the heat. If cooking soup, just boil some tomatoes, pour in mussels, wait for it to boil, add the prepared mussels (only for the mussels at this moment, if you add them from the beginning, the soup will be elegant), add onions smell, eat hot is done. The mussels are rubbed, squeezed hard to remove all the meat from the shell, and then don’t like a gravel. The mussel meat is lighter than the shell, floats, collects in a corner, picks it up, and puts it in a small bowl. Rub the mussel meat to break the intestines with a sieve, wash, squeeze out the water, fry the onions, add the mussel intestines, season with a little fish sauce, pepper, and a little herbs, flip the edges, that’s the mussel filling. Wait for the pressure in the pot to run out, drop in the mussels and herbs (fresh onions, Chinese herbs, finely chopped coriander) in, season with some spices, scoop into the bowl, add a few slices of bamboo shoots and chili, sprinkle hot pepper on top. .. I once told someone I love about mussel porridge. I once taught him to cook mussel porridge. There was also a time when I sent a picture of a bowl of cooked mussel porridge to my very dear uncle. Every time, the aftertaste of mussel porridge remains on the lips and in the eyes. Away from my hometown, I no longer go catching mussels like the old days. Every time I come back, I can’t help but look at Bai Giua, seeing that Bai Giua is only a small area after the flood discharge, the trees are blooming, I see that the old sand has been exploited almost by people, and I look at the river trying to make up for it. Can’t hold back the tears…

For many years in a row, fishing and netting activities of people in the West are no longer as exciting as before. What can I say, when the water does not jump from the shore, fish and shrimp from upstream cannot follow the current but return. People had to look forward to the flood season in weariness. Uncle Tho has more than 30 years of fishing and netting on the Tien River. He is considered a master who knows the river and has the most experience in catching fish in the area. He knows each type of bait is specific to a certain type of fish, where there is a whirlpool and what fish to use the appropriate catcher. He is also a witness to all the changes on the river – where he and many other fishermen find a way to make a living, from the beginning of their career to the present. In the past, at the headwaters of the Tien River, the two banks of Tan Chau town and Hong Ngu town, almost always crowded with boats to catch fish. The most exciting is still in the floating season, when the spirit fish come from upstream, fishing activities not only take place during the day, but the river also shimmers with the lights of boats and boats to catch fish at night. Groups of people work together to pull nets and pour each batch of spirit fish onto the boat to be transported to the shore in time for buyers to make fish sauce and cook fish sauce. Or sometimes, just caught a mallet, a cotton ball, etc., people sell it right on the boat. Thanks to that, the whole river seems to be always bustling and bustling. Prepare nets to catch fish “Just every time the fish is thrown out, the fish sticks from the lead up to the top of the net, unable to remove it in time. And every time we unload the scrub to catch fish, I say it’s as fun as the festival,” said Mr. Uncle Tho continued: “But that was in the past, when it was far away, there were no more fish in the river.” Mr. Quy (35 years old), a fisherman on the bank of Tan Chau landslide, also joked: “One day, he hit a catch of big pangasius and snakehead fish. I knew right away that it wasn’t river fish, but fish that escaped from the rafts, but now it’s hard to catch such big fish.” A few years ago, because they could not bear with a moderate life, many fishermen decided to sell all their boats and canoes to take their families to Binh Duong to find a new job. Uncle Tho and Quy also went to Ho Chi Minh City to find a way to make a living. But soon, they returned to their profession, to the river… As something unknown, always associated them with this profession of lowering silver. “When I’m lucky, I can catch some cotton balls, I bring them down to the town market to sell them for a good price. Any unlucky meal is enough for 2 meals. Now I can’t catch fish to get rich like before, but I’m never hungry when I’m hungry,” said Mr. Tho optimistically. Then every day twice a day, they throw the motorboat out to the river, visit the nets, some pre-ordered fishing boats and then return with small achievements. The profession of “aunt and uncle” to them is not simply a profession, but it also seems to be a career. The river with them, is not only a place to make a living but also a place of affection.

Illustration (Source: Internet). Using protracted rains on the third and seventh days of the month of Ngau turned out to be an accurate forecast for thousands of years. At least me and my old friends believe so. In the old Hanoi, there was only one public high point where children could play. That’s the Long Bien bridge year round, the piles are painted and repaired. On the bridge, you can have a panoramic view of the old town with brown tiles and white walls. On a rainy day, the pink tile roofs look like they’ve been on fire. The turbid river below his feet was flowing. Surrounding the bridge abutments are rotten firewood and the water is as black as horns. Nearly fifty years ago, I often invited my friends to the bridge on rainy days like that. Now, looking back at my friends, the hair is already more than half gray. Oh well, it seems that during my childhood, the streets called me to wake up sweet memories. The city suddenly turned into a miniature in the embrace of the tolerant rain. Hanoi rain in the old quarter is not sad. There’s no reason to be sad. The city bathing after sweltering days seems to be blooming. People’s eyes are happy and less anxious than usual. The streets are empty of shops and restaurants. Vehicles on the road are also less aggressive. The old people were free to invite each other to drink. Just for a cool reason. My friends often find very surprising and reasonable reasons to drink. Sometimes the reason is just “the wind is coming”. The torrential rain throughout the week can be considered a “reason agent”. Find an empty restaurant overlooking the street. Phung Hung Street at the beginning of the even number is such a place. The door of the shop looks straight to the bridge leading the train to the slope of Long Bien bridge. One of the most majestic stone structures left over from the French colonial period. More than a hundred years, the row of soft iron railings riveted with rivets still has no aesthetic competitor in the city. This section of the bridge is associated with memories of me and my friends at the University of Civil Engineering forty years ago. That’s where you hop on and off the train for the first few months of school. The city suddenly had an unexpectedly calm corner. The sound of the rain could be heard clearly on the stone wall hanging with a few green ferns. Sparrows gliding and jumping on the pavement in search of prey. The arches at the foot of the bridge have been sealed with stone since the day that all Hanoians left the mountainous economic zone to live temporarily. A humorously optimistic dreamy journey of Hanoi residents ends in the arches of no passport. Neither is electricity. It’s strange that quite a few children are born to the grinding sound of railway wheels coming out of their heads. Who are they? Now out on the street can not know. Hanoi again received stray children without discrimination. Like rain evenly distributed throughout the streets. Stop the rain. Fragile yellow lily flowers sprinkled on the quiet Cua Dong street. Suddenly autumn…

The ancient town of Nianbadu is located in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Yes, that’s right! It is Quzhou, which has opened “Global Free Tour” for several consecutive years and is known as the “largest” city in Zhejiang. It is hidden in the deep mountains and valleys of Xianxialing Mountains. It is hailed by some experts and scholars as a “cultural enclave” and “a dream left in the mountains.” Different from the gentle and beautiful Jiangnan water town in our traditional impression, this ancient town has a dangerous terrain and sits at the junction of the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. It is difficult to defend, and the commercial port is prosperous. Historically, it has always been the place where soldiers were stationed in the past and the first town from Fujian to Zhejiang. “Nian Ba ​​Du”, just seeing this name gives people a feeling of being separated from the world. At the end of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, the Huangchao uprising army attacked Fujian and opened up an ancient Xianxia road here, making the small town on the edge of this ancient road also recorded in history. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 44 capitals in southern Zhejiang, and the town ranked 28th, hence the name Nianbadu. Since the Xianxia Ancient Road was the only passage between Fujian and Zhejiang at that time, with the progress of history, it gradually changed from the original military route to the later business route, and the ancient town, as a transportation hub that must be passed on the way, gradually It has become the most prosperous commercial port on the border of the three provinces, and many people have migrated here with their families. As a result, the town now has 130 surnames and 9 dialects among the population of more than 10,000. It has become a unique “ancient town for ordinary people” and “dialect kingdom”. . Since the ancient town is located in Zhejiang, people can’t help but remind people of the scenery of the water village of “Hu Zang Yanpu, furniture painting boat”, which is actually true. The ancient town of Nianbadu, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although the prosperity of the past is no longer there, it still retains the traditional style of the 19th century. The ancient houses of Ming and Qing dynasties with black tiles and blue walls built by the river are well-preserved and scattered, vaguely inlaid between the poetic and painting-like clear water and green mountains. When you walk into the ancient town, you will find that you are walking through an ancient architectural museum, with temples, pavilions, ancient bridges, and archways, which makes people feel that this piece of ancient building with exquisite layout, magnificent scale, unique style and exquisite craftsmanship is in front of you. Group and felt heartfelt admiration. Of course, due to the phenomenon of immigration in history, the various styles of folk customs handed down in the ancient town are also great attractions, such as “Lian Knife Meat”, “Carrying a Literal Ceremony”, Making Flower Lanterns, Walking on Stilts, etc., which have been passed down from generation to generation in the ancient town. The folk customs and customs reflect the ancient cultural customs of the ancient town. So for Nianbadu, as the most special ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, with a population of more than 10,000 and more than 130 castes in 9 dialects, would you be willing to learn about it?

Panorama of Cai Rang floating market. The deeper you go inside the floating market, the more vivid the life of the merchants becomes. Mr. Tin, who has spent many years going up and down the Hau Giang river, confided: “For several generations, he made a boat as a home, all day he drifted along the water, but since then life has become more stable and his children have been educated.” The floating market is crowded with boats. The goods at the market are very diverse, most of which are specialty fruits of the river garden. There are also dried fish, crafts, necessities and food service included. Selling something, people hang that item on a tree stuck in the bow of the boat, in a unique way of advertising and offering. Diverse types of dried fish and essential products.

Sink over time Go Boi, a famous harbor, a bustling fishing village more than 400 years ago. This is the place where in the novel series “Con River in the flood season”, writer Nguyen Mong Giac describes it as an important saltwater harbor, an important focal point of communication with Dang Trong – Dang Ngoai, a place to receive migrations. From the North to the South, it was the place (along with the Thi Nai estuary) of the Tay Son Dynasty that sent naval troops to conquer the South to defeat the North. A tributary of the Con River flows at the foot of Banh It tower The side of Duong Long tower. Photo: TRUNG PHUONG Late in the afternoon, standing on Go Boi bridge watching the water of the Con River billowing, feeling strangely buoyant, seeing historical lines flowing layer by layer across the bridge. Remember the folk song that your mother used to lull you: “One day, no one will leave anyone / Only embroidery should be sharpened to make needles”, the lullaby voice sounds like a sad, sad Nam song. How much water has passed from the Con River over Go Boi Bridge, over the years has buried this historic saltwater harbour. And maybe it’s not economical so people don’t need to dredge it, just let it sink over time. But the image of the gourd sailing across the country, from the Central to the North, to the South, even through Nam Vang (Cambodia)… will never fade in the memories of the people in my hometown. Going to Go Boi, one must remember poets Xuan Dieu and Han Mac Tu. Xuan Dieu was born here, used to write love poems about Go Boi and Tuy Phuoc: “Sleeping in Tuy Phuoc is to not sleep at night The crickets stay awake with me all year round Wake up the stars, wake up the branches At night, the homeland loves the scent of the land.” Xuan Dieu could not sleep because simply: “Can’t sleep because the strong wind blowing from the sea keeps reminding / When my mother was born / I breathed the fish sauce of thousands of Go Boi…”. According to Hoai Thanh – Hoai Chan in “Vietnamese poets”, poets living in Binh Dinh are often haunted by the moonlight. The moon in Binh Dinh was strangely beautiful, mysterious or strange, inspired by Che Lan Vien, Quach Tan, Han Mac Tu, Yen Lan… Even later, Van Cao went to Quy Nhon to play and discovered Quy Nhon beach. like a half moon: “Half moon/Night/Lying on the sea sand…”. Most of the talented Vietnamese poets and artists who have met in Quy Nhon, all love the mysterious moon, meditate in Binh Dinh, hanging loosely on the lonely Cham towers. Even Trinh Cong Son is still haunted by the ancient towers, “hearing the autumn leaves and the rain rustling the little heels…” (Old Diem). Watching the magical moon Han Mac Tu also lived in Go Boi, because here is still the grave of the poet Han’s mother. It is said that at that time, the mother and son of the Han poets went to Go Boi to cure leprosy for Korea but in the end failed, the mother was lying eternally in Go Boi, the child was lying down watching the fanciful Binh Dinh moon in Ghenh Rang… read documents that know Han poet has known Xuan Dieu since then, when Han Mac Tu wrote to Xuan Dieu: “I sent you my collection of poems, because reading your poems, I find my pain is greatly relieved”. The land of Go Boi also once harbored the famous poet Han Mac Tu. And his best and most painful poems were written in this land. Go to Go Boi, look back up the Banh It tower, up to Do Ban citadel, remember the poets Yen Lan, Che Lan Vien – the names that make up the famous “Ban Thanh four friends”. Yen Lan is not only famous for “Ben My Lang”, he also has many other important contributions in the process of modern Vietnamese poetry. In the memoir “Yen Lan – remember you forever” (Van Hoc Publishing House – 2001) by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Lan – the wife of the poet Yen Lan – has quoted Che Lan Vien’s opinion: “Yen Lan is talented, talented. special and very soon”. It is not because of friendship that Che Lan Vien appreciates Yen Lan so highly. Before 1935, when New Poetry was still a toddler, Yen Lan had unique creations: “Mourning triangle sails about her resting quietly The rhythm of delaying harmonizes to pat the island far away”. Or describe the afternoon sun of Sam Son: “Empty far away The roof is dumbfounded, poetic and touching Afternoon pigeon wings incubated all over the manor.” “Sorrow triangle”, “tempo of delaying harmony”, “poetry of stone carving”, “afternoon of pigeons” – language structures, shimmering images interwoven magically, as if Yen Lan just wrote yesterday or today. Che Lan Vien is from Quang Tri but studied and grew up in Do Ban, Quy Nhon. In 1937, Che Lan Vien published a collection of poems “Dieu Ruan” that shocked the piano. In an article, Yen Lan once mentioned this collection of poems: “In the afternoon, Che Lan Vien and I often go upstairs to the East Thanh gate of Binh Dinh to admire the scenery and discuss poetry. Cham and Cham towers should discuss and write something together. Then Che Lan Vien published the volume “Diem Ruan” and me with the collection “The Well of Chaos” consisting of 28 poems written about the Chiem nuns…”. Han Mac Tu once read this book of poetry and asked Yen Lan why it was not a “well” (abandoned well), but “chaos”? Yen Lan asserts that it is a “well of chaos” (understood in the sense of chaos…). After reading the draft of this poem, Han Mac Tu was inspired to write the song “Moon commits suicide”: “Cold wells! Cold wells Why is no one good I heard that autumn hides here… Chaos, chaos, oh well chaos I’m panicking, I’m panicking Jump into the well to pick up the moon.” The song “Moon commits suicide”, Yen Lan planned to print in his book “The Chaos Well” as a preface, but unfortunately the poetry book was lost and Yen Lan’s poetic face seemed to be defective. In the last years of her life, Yen Lan also squeezed herself to make the quartet genre more attractive and more modern. With more than 400 quartet songs, Yen Lan is evaluated: Among the few great masters of modern Vietnamese quartet poetry, Yen Lan belongs to the “godfather” category (Truc Thong). Looking back at me Also, poet Nguyen Xuan Sanh was born in Da Lat but from a young age he studied at Quy Nhon National School (old), then moved to Hanoi. At the age of 15 (younger than Che Lan Vien when he was 16 years old when he published “Dieu Ruan”), Xuan Sanh released his epic “Lost Species”, with innovative poems of the type now commonly known as “postmodernism”. modern day”, breaking the standards of traditional poetry, with strange and “fragrant” sentences: “The white wind will smell the willow-shaped season / Far away from the pale green sad blue path…”. Now go to Go Boi to enjoy the coolness of the East Sea breeze, to look back into the past. Suddenly looking upstream, remember the castles and citadels of the Cham people, of the heroic Tay Son dynasty; looking down to the sea, remembering the rowboats that were horizontal and vertical for a while; remember the ships of the Portuguese and Spanish docked at Nuoc Man sea, now there is Xuan Phuong church, Lonely Song Village… And looking back at me, my age is already “sixteen years old”… Down there, how much water of the Con River is still flowing through Go Boi Bridge… Tuy Phuoc, February 2021

The cooperation between Coca-Cola and The Ocean Cleanup will accelerate the implementation of the Interceptor system to clean 15 rivers globally. Accordingly, the two sides will coordinate to deploy a system to collect plastic waste and clean up 15 rivers around the world within the next 18 months, including the introduction and application of a semi-automatic river sanitation solution using The Ocean Cleanup’s Solar Interceptor. The two sides also called for the attention and action of industries and individuals around the world to solve the problem of plastic waste, prevent plastic waste from entering the ocean, thereby protecting the ecosystem. species and water resources. Boyan Slat, founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, said: “The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to remove plastic waste from the oceans. With 1,000 rivers carrying nearly 80% of plastic waste directly into the sea, this problem is becoming more and more serious. This is also the reason why we are always looking for solutions to speed up the implementation of the program. Among the waste we collect are many plastic bottles, including Coca-Cola products, so we appreciate that Coca-Cola is the first company to accompany The Ocean Cleanup. This is also an action program in Coca-Cola’s grand strategy to create a positive impact, contributing to solving the global plastic pollution problem.” James Quincey, President and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company said: “As a global company, we work hard to ensure that all the materials we use for packaging are collected and recycled, and will not become waste. We support The Ocean Cleanup and its technological solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and also contribute to the conservation of our water resources.”

Leveraging Coca-Cola’s global scale and network and The Ocean Cleanup’s technology and data solutions, this partnership will accelerate the implementation of a plastic waste collection and cleaning system. 15 rivers around the world over the next 18 months, including the introduction and adoption of The Ocean Cleanup’s Interceptor solar-powered semi-automated river sanitation solution. The two sides also called for the attention and action of industries and individuals around the world to solve the problem of plastic waste, prevent plastic waste from entering the ocean, thereby protecting the ecosystem. species and water resources. Boyan Slat, Founder and CEO of The Ocean Cleanup said: “The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to remove plastic waste from the oceans. With 1,000 rivers carrying nearly 80% of plastic waste directly into the sea, this problem is becoming more and more serious. This is also the reason why we are always looking for solutions to speed up the implementation of the program. Among the waste we collect are many plastic bottles, including Coca-Cola products, so we appreciate that Coca-Cola is the first company in the industry to partner with The Ocean Cleanup. This is also an action program in Coca-Cola’s grand strategy to create a positive impact, contributing to solving global plastic pollution. Our aim is to learn from this partnership and continue to scale rapidly in the near future. I believe this cooperation is good news for our oceans.” The cooperation between Coca-Cola and The Ocean Cleanup will accelerate the implementation of the Interceptor system to clean 15 rivers globally Solution Interceptor The Interceptor system announced in 2019 is the first widely deployed solution to prevent river waste from entering the ocean. Interceptor works 100% on solar energy, automatically filters garbage and can operate in most of the most polluted rivers in the world. Through the partnership between The Ocean Cleanup and Coca-Cola, from now until the end of 2022, the two units will coordinate to deploy the Interceptor solution application program to clean 15 rivers globally. The first two Interceptor systems in the cooperation program were installed by The Ocean Cleanup in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and Can Tho, Vietnam. In these rivers, The Ocean Cleanup and Coca-Cola will continue to support the development of post-collection solutions. The two units are also planning to expand the project scale on the remaining 13 rivers in the near future. The Ocean Cleanup provides effective solutions with high expertise in the field of plastic waste collection technology, applied from practical experience, scientific understanding of plastic waste pollution, and a database as well. as it handles data from programs that this organization has previously implemented. Coca-Cola will support The Ocean Cleanup through the company’s global network, which currently operates in more than 200 countries and territories. Coca-Cola will directly support the local implementation of the new Interceptor system, as well as post-collection plastic processing with specialized measures to manage plastic waste in a weekly economic model. complete. Ocean Cleanup and Coca-Cola will work together to secure new partners and call for the investments needed to scale the project, namely installing more Interceptor solutions, securing licenses, and deploying new solutions. Developed a River Monitoring System (RMS) for a more detailed analysis of pollution levels in rivers. For a world without waste Mr. James Quincey, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company said: “As a global company, we work hard to ensure that all the materials we use for packaging are collected and recycled, and do not end up as waste. We support The Ocean Cleanup and its technological solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and also contribute to the conservation of our water resources.” The Coca-Cola Company is implementing comprehensive activities to tackle plastic waste through its Strategy for a Zero Waste World. The strategy sets out three key global goals including: (1) 100% of Coca-Cola’s packaging is recyclable by 2025 – and using at least 50% recycled materials in packaging by 2030; (2) Every can and bottle that Coca-Cola sells is collected and recycled by the company by 2030; and (3) Working together for a clean, waste-free environment. Constantly improving, Coca-Cola is investing in many new technologies, packaging material solutions and packaging reduction initiatives, including ultra-light recycling technology, plant-based packaging and other innovative technologies. solution to support the classification process. Recently, Coca-Cola set a target that by 2025, depending on business growth, the company will reduce the use of virgin plastic from fossil fuels by about 20% compared to today. Getting rid of plastic waste requires effective action and thinking on the part of all parties, including civil society, industry and the public sector. Therefore, The Coca-Cola Company has always supported building and participating in global, future-oriented partnerships for a zero-waste world. The common goal is to encourage more people to recycle and reuse and more organizations to invest in a circular economy where products and materials stay the same at the end of their life cycle. their value and return to the production process, becoming part of a closed chain, so that there is little or no waste released into the environment. Brian Smith, President and COO of The Coca-Cola Company said: “The Ocean Cleanup has a clear vision and effective technology to realize the goal of eliminating plastic waste from the ocean. As for Coca-Cola, we have a local team to support the implementation of the new Interceptor system in rivers around the world, along with the treatment and recycling of waste after collection. . We believe this partnership can make a truly positive impact. It’s great that Coca-Cola employees everywhere in the world can support the project by participating in supporting the implementation of the project locally, or becoming an ambassador to spread the message of the great mission. of this project”.

Illustration The filling of this dish is not too picky. I usually grind the shoulder meat with dried onions, then mix it with finely chopped scallions, marinate some delicious fish sauce, main noodles, and pepper. If you want to add more “taste”, we should mince a little more young leaves mixed with meat. After letting the filling soak in the spices for a while, we can wrap the patties. There is an interesting thing, both guise leaves and river bones have different color characteristics of two-sided leaves. One side is dark green, one side is lighter in color and the petiole is quite hard. When wrapping the rolls, we should turn the light green side in, and the dark green side out so that the patty has a nice color. Spread a leaf, we put the spoonful of filling just enough with the leaf and then roll it evenly. After rolling the patty, the smart housewife often takes the leaf stalk to tighten the patty so it doesn’t fall apart. Put the pan on the stove, wait for the oil to be hot, then gently put the fried rice in it. Note that you should put the part with the edge of the leaf rolled in first. Remember to fry on low heat and turn it over with your hand so that the patties are evenly cooked. When the sausage is cooked, take it out on a plate with greaseproof paper and place it on a flat plate. Lot leaves, river bones eaten with rice and vermicelli are all suitable. Pick up a piece of golden, stretchy spring rolls, dip into a bowl of fish sauce mixed with lemon pepper and chili, we slowly enjoy. The flavor of the fragrant patties brings up the taste of the guava leaves, the river bones, the soft and fatty texture of the meat… it’s a real treat. If eaten with vermicelli, the dipping sauce is as light as the bun cha dipping sauce. Some people prefer grilled basil leaves because they don’t like the characteristic scent of river bones. However, with vermicelli with fresh bamboo sticks, the river bone cake is really delicious. This is also the “attractive” dish of some bun cha restaurants in Hanoi. In addition, river bone pork rolls are also combined by housewives with rice paper soup. The bowl of rice paper soup has a completely new flavor and color when it is dropped a few pieces of pork loin leaves on top. Cha la lot, river bones are not only made with pork, mothers also create a cute variation with beef patties. To make the patties sweeter and softer, we should blend pork with beef or mix diced pork fat into the filling. After rolling cha with guise leaves, river bones, we can bake it on a charcoal stove. When the leaves turn yellow, the meat is soft, and the fat is secreted out of the patties. Remove the patties from the blister, soak in a bowl of sweet and sour dipping sauce and pickle, we enjoy with vermicelli. If eaten with rice, beef patties with guise leaves, river bones just need to be dipped with salted fish sauce sprinkled with pepper. Although it is a simple dish, it has its own special flavor. Sometimes, I ask myself, does anyone still remember the taste of the dish with guise leaves and river bones?

Boiling River. Boiling River Our understanding of the history of the Boiling River (as it relates to humans) comes from two primitive sources: local Amazonians and oil field documents from the early stages of oilfield development. Agua Caliente. Map of the boiling regions of the Boiling River, up to the range of the Boiling River merging with other rivers. Ancient history Traditionally, locals say that the Boiling River has existed since “before the days of the great-grandfathers and nuns”. The ancient name of the river was “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “Boiling in the heat of the sun”, although the heat source is likely geothermal. This is a pretty interesting name for a variety of reasons. First, the name speaks for itself as a hypothesis, illustrating how the ancients sought to explain the world around them. Second, the name is in the Amazonian-Quechua dialect which may not be archaic, likely only a few hundred years old. There is certainly a deeper history to explore, and more research will be done to truly understand what the Boiling River meant to the ancestors of the Amazons. According to Mr. Maestro Juan Flores, shaman of the Mayantuyacu region, Peru, the Boiling River has always been considered a place of great spiritual power. In the past, locals were still afraid to go into the forest of the Boiling River, especially the area of ​​Mayantuyacu, in the province of Puerto Inca, western Peru because the jungle is home to very powerful spirits, and There are even man-eating leopards. As a result, only the most powerful magicians (some of whom are ancestors of Mr. Maestro Juan) often visit the river to live with the spirits and learn the art of healing from the spirits. Westerners come to the river In the late 1920s, Peru was looking to expand its Amazon region and better connect with cities like Pucallpa and elsewhere in the country. In 1929, American geologist Robert B. Moran conducted an aerial survey from an airplane for a railway construction project and discovered a large oval mound jutting out of the forest. He immediately identified this as a potential oil reservoir, claiming it to be a salt dome. Below the River. Moran continued to organize field expeditions in 1930, 1931, and 1932. When Moran and his colleagues first encountered the Boiling River, they were concerned that the Agua Caliente Dome was a volcano and not a volcano. are sedimentary structures because geothermal systems can “cook off” oil reserves, rendering them worthless. Fortunately, they found layers of natural oil seeping into other parts of the area (not on the Boiling River) and determined that the river was not of volcanic origin. In their early maps, they referred to the river as “Shanaya” or “Shamaya,” a variation on the name “Shanay-timpishka.” In their accounts of the 1930s, Moran’s group said that “no more than 50 people lived in the area of ​​Agua Caliente”, and that the majority of them were “descendants of people who arrived in the region during the outbreak. rubber explosion”. The account also describes “there were a small number of Indians living in the main rivers, where they were rarely seen and their numbers were practically insignificant”. This is consistent with the shaman Maestro Juan’s description that only the most powerful of magicians go to the Boiling River, so few natives live there. Take a sample of 97oC boiling water. We can only guess what the natives had to think, as the oilmen entered this dangerous land of powerful spirits. Finally, Moran and his team confirmed the potential of the Agua Caliente oil field, obtained a concession to develop and exploit the oil field, and in 1938 they successfully drilled the first oil well in the area. Amazon, in Peru. Over the next 80 years or so, the ownership of Agua Caliente passed through different oil companies. Currently, Maple Energy Company is exploiting this oil field. Since the early 1990s, non-Amazon native visitors have come to the Boiling River region from all over the world, visiting Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin for traditional healing. Magus Maestro Santiago Enrique and his wife. Shaman centers on the Boiling River A young shaman has just finished his studies to become a traditional healer and he visits the forest. While walking, he accidentally stepped into a hunter’s trap and was shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital and the doctors told him he would never walk again. A nurse named Sandra challenged: “If you’re such a powerful magician, why don’t you heal yourself?” Remembering the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the powerful healing spirits present on the Boiling River, the young mage picked up his crutches and walked into the woods. Maestro shaman Don Juan Flores. At the Boiling River, there was a Came Renaco tree that crossed over the Boiling River, its roots clinging to a rock and its branches submerged in the steam of the river. The young mage healed himself using the sap, bark and leaves of the Came Renaco tree along with the river’s water, and he was able to walk again. It was here that he later founded the healing resort of Mayantuyacu and began his journey like Maestro Juan Flores, or sheripiari Asháninka (healer, shaman). He married the nurse Sandra and together, they run the healing center, helping to treat tourists with ancient Amazonian remedies. Maestro Enrrique, shaman of the healing center Santuario Huistin, was originally a builder and tells how he accepted his call to become a curandero (male physician) after having a dream about the Virgin Mary in the forest. The Lady tells him to fold his tools and draw people to the rain forest to reveal its healing secrets to them. He obeyed and sought guidance from Maestro Juan Flores. After completing his training, he founded his healing center named Santuario Huistin on the Boiling River. Together with his wife Ayme, also a curandera (medicine woman) and shaman, they treat travelers with traditional Amazonian medicine. The rain forest around the Boiling River was destroyed. Why is it still a mystery? Before the oil field exploration and development program, the Soi River was a remote location known only to the locals. When the first oil field development began in the area, the rights and welfare of the indigenous peoples as well as the best for the environment were not taken into account. Moran’s accounts make it clear that the oil workers were initially troubled by the presence of the Boiling River in the area because geothermal systems could “swallow up” oil reserves, make them worthless. Fortunately for the oil miners, they found leaks of natural oil in the area (not on the Boiling River), and could see that the Agua Caliente dome was not a volcano. Although the Soi River was included in the original documents in the oil field rights document, it is reported only as a landmark, and as the original northern boundary of the oil field. Andrés Ruzo sits beside the Boiling River. Over the past 80 years, the rules, regulations and requirements related to oil development in the Amazon (especially with regard to environmental and social issues) have dramatically changed things. From the original mining concession to the present day, it is certain that the Boiling River will be identified as an important cultural site. Geothermal scientist Andrés Ruzo. In 2011, the Peruvian geophysicist’s aunt, Andrés Ruzo, introduced him to the Boiling River, as she had visited the Mayantuyacu region. The concept of this landmark quickly became clear to Andrés Ruzo through preliminary tests that the river was of geological importance; While sharing his observations with Maestro Juan, Maestro Juan then decided to bless Andrés in the process of studying the sacred river. Then Maestro Enrrique also blessed Andrés. In doing so, they allowed him to become the first geologist to make a detailed study of the Boiling River. Since this time, Andrés Zuro has worked closely with both the Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin treatment centers to study the river, protect it, and in the utmost responsibility they have brought it to the river. world.

Security guards stand guard outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology (China)Source: South China Morning Post Recently, Mr. Chris Said, a data scientist, a member of the House of Representatives of Malta, posted on Twitter a list of viruses that have accidentally escaped from laboratories so far. According to him, SARS-CoV-1, the virus that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 29 countries around the world in 2003, had leaked from several Asian laboratories. The first time SARS-1 “escaped” was in August 2003 at the National University of Singapore. The second time happened in December 2003 in Taiwan (China). The results of the investigation showed that a SARS scientist in Taiwan handled the leaked biological waste without wearing gloves, masks or gowns. In April 2004, SARS-1 escaped from the National Institute of Virology of China. The H1N1 bird flu virus first appeared in the world in 1918, causing a global pandemic. In 1977, the virus “re-emerged” and many believe it was the result of a leak from a laboratory. That lab is said to be working on a way to produce a live attenuated vaccine in response to the threat of a global flu pandemic. Martin Furmanski, a researcher at the Scientific Working Group on Biological and Chemical Weapons (USA), wrote in a 2014 report that authorities do not want to disclose the laboratory origin of H1N1 because worried about affecting virus research cooperation between countries. “Virilologists and public health officials quickly realized that the most likely source (of H1N1) was a lab leak, but they agreed not to make this public,” Furmanski wrote. Foot-and-mouth disease emerged in the UK in 2007, about 4km from a biosafety level 4 laboratory in the Pirbright area. The results of the investigation showed that the construction vehicles were carrying sludge contaminated with the virus from a faulty sewage line in Pirbright, Italian newspaper The Print reported on May 31. Smallpox virus leaked from two prestigious smallpox laboratories in the UK. The first occurred in 1972 at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The second case was recorded in 1978 at the Birmingham Medical School. Continuing to investigate the origin of COVID-19 In recent days, world opinion has heated up again about the origin of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the global pandemic COVID-19. On May 13, a group of 18 scientists published in the journal Science (Science) of the United States, calling for a more thorough investigation of the origin of SARS-CoV-2. They believe that the hypotheses about the accidental release of the virus from the laboratory and natural transmission are both possible in reality. Earlier, in March, a team of experts sent by the World Health Organization (WHO) to China concluded that the hypothesis of a laboratory leak was “extremely unlikely” in reality. However, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the team’s assessment of whether SARS-CoV-2 could emerge in the community after a laboratory incident was “not broad enough” and request further investigation. Even America’s top medical expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who once denied the lab leak theory, now says he doesn’t believe the virus evolved naturally. US President Joe Biden has ordered the US intelligence community to investigate the origins of COVID-19, after new surveillance results showed there was a possibility of a pandemic after SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the laboratory. experience in China, American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported on May 27. The White House came under pressure to investigate on its own after China told the WHO that its part of the investigation had been completed, and efforts to trace the source of the virus should turn to other countries. President Biden wants the US intelligence community to produce a report on the origin of COVID-19 within 90 days. He said that US intelligence focuses on two scenarios, SARS-CoV-2 comes from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory incident. Earlier, a US intelligence report wrote that three researchers at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became so sick in November 2019 that they had to be hospitalized. In December 2019, China reported its first cases of COVID-19. “This questions the credibility of the claim by veteran researcher Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology that there is no transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-related viruses among staff and students. of the Wuhan Institute of Virology”, American newspaper USA Today May 24, citing documents from the US State Department. However, the intelligence report on 3 Chinese researchers seriously ill The Wall Street Journal The mention is not conclusive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the lab, and the intelligence community still doesn’t know for sure what illness they have, CNN reported.

Just like poetry and poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan, if he had to go to heaven, Tuan would go to the reverse region where the magnificent mountains and forests of the Northeast where he was a soldier for many years stationed at Cao Bang forts once wrote the following verses: “ A bowl of forest wine / Laughing to break the waterfall / A cold rainy night / Deep with coal light / A sentence soars / A patrol road across the village / Nights screaming your name / Firecrackers howling around… The country… hundreds of battles / Want to find a common soldier / Look in the form of a rock / Vong Phu through the wind and fog… “. (Normal soldier). Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan. Why did you choose the South? Go suddenly. Go like a talisman lures you to go. As long as indefinite? It seems to be disoriented because Nguyen Thanh Tuan has never “planned” his life. Going to clean up the whole family with Nam Tien. You are not showbiz, how can you love the Southern light? She is currently holding the position of Vice Principal of a school in the countryside. The ancestors of the family are on both sides of the land in the land he once wrote: “ Dad took me to the village road / Let me take each brick / In the sky as blue as the river / Under the bamboo banks “. (Village road), why suddenly the south is as serene as clouds in the four directions of the sky. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a rather strange case. Once upon a time, Tuan from the East matched with Duong Kieu Minh from Doai, a pair of famous poetic poems in the middle of the world, half an eye of multi-faceted poetry, alone, making people feel anxious and worried. Thanh Tuan’s poetry is oriented towards tradition, taking simplicity as the foundation, liking the new but not the old, shaking hands and celebrating with the rich and lovingly at peace with old friends and neighbors. Tuan sometimes flies to the clouds, still holding a thin kite string on the ground. Where did the kite string break? The storm outside is dark clouds, white wind, elephant god, who knows if it’s good or bad? Well know this: “ Hiding the roots of the urban day / The smell of the earth contemplating every night / Loving the piece of potato buried in the school day / Thirsty for the river while bathing naked “. (Village memory); “ Everywhere I go, I find myself sobbing / The night of the festival melts beautiful heels / A pompous farewell to brothers and sisters / Early morning buried in the mud “. (Village festival)… meaning Tuan still considers his homeland as important, still grateful for great accretion from rice seeds and potatoes in the fields and corners of the village. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is an expected poet in Hung Yen in recent decades, especially during the period when he was Vice President of the Association – Editor-in-Chief of Pho Hien Magazine, which invited unique and special pages of poetry and literature. sharp. Of course there are people, including the leadership, who don’t like the men who wander or speak everywhere. Also telling the truth. He also often said the right thing when he had to say it differently, saying it around like a poem, he wrote poetry and said it straight, so his position was wobbly and could not stand it but completely slipped. This is a matter of local art circles and we’re happy for him. At that time, Tuan was still a poet in the true sense of the word: “ And you still have the right to take off your shirt/ To shed all winters barefoot/ The first drop of water from your shoulder/ Spring buds across the Red River Delta “. (Liberal Red River); “I lied to a dying person / Let them go away with peace of mind / I lied to my heart / I kept my hopes / I lied day and night / To torment my conscience night and day”. (Lie)… Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan (2nd from the right) with fellow writers. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a philosopher. Everything is considered philosophy first. However, the absurdities in life fell on him, Tuan did not know how to argue. Or arguing is just arguing in poetry. Outside, I see that he is always weak, even though the right thing has already belonged to him. Once, I went with him and writer Dao Ba Doan to drink at a flooded temple. When he got drunk, he didn’t know the way back. Doan was led away by a long-haired girl’s granddaughter. My house is a few inches away, but I can’t return it is ridiculous. But being young at the time, this was usually not a big deal. Even though that night, Doan announced his marriage to that girl?! Where are they now in the vastness of heaven and water? Strangely, he just sat still like a statue without saying anything, even more not stopping the other couple from walking into the dark night in the middle of the river. Until morning, the militia brothers in the commune used a boat to take us to the town to have breakfast and return to Nguyen Thanh Tuan’s house to see the couple chirping in the small kitchen as if they were at home. Could it be that they thought this was the place where the fairies were? The two brothers had to withdraw from the house, ignoring the pair of bronze and jade fairies. Then Tuan wrote a poem: Leaving the dogma in the flooded temple / Doan walking in the rain / Village women with long hair like a river / Boobs rising up in the pouring season / Did the Doan choose? / Is it the freedom group? / Go / Walk away in a short distance The buffalo dung road makes a mistake / Going to grow chrysanthemum leaves, lemongrass and incense … The river cries in the rain / Corpse Doan is covered with alluvium from the water’s edge…” . (The group goes to the river). Nguyen Thanh Tuan is not only fascinated with his homeland but also fascinated with people, not only men like Doan but also Tuan’s women are also very wandering: “ If my sister is not next to me / I don’t remember the name of the temple / I pass by my hat forever / How can I hear the whispering whispers… But I don’t have a husband? / When I enter the temple, I vow to become a monk. “. (Phoenix Pho Hien); “ You came out pure from the drizzle / The eyes of the leaves opened in shock / The rising rivers turned away sullenly / I panicked and yelled at you to stop / At the other end of the road the clouds were very unusual “. (At the end of the drizzly road)… Nguyen Thanh Tuan has been lost in the South for nearly ten years, sometimes returning to his father’s hometown, sometimes his friends are also lost or busy making a living, giving up literature and words. Like Tuan himself, the poet is expected to have deeply embedded in his memory a few verses, still in the village’s memory is it still the same as before? “ Why don’t you go back to the dyke / Kite to let go of the passion of the city / Guava is happy with the green river / Take off your clothes and take off your clothes equally / Bai Soi is proud of the buffalo back / Everywhere you fall, you will fall on the brown earth of your hometown / Rise give white chicken grass / Give me the shyness to fight, but I’m empty-handed “. (Untitled). As the years go by, the rich and glorious beauty has long been a waste. The joys and sorrows are lost and frivolous like clouds floating above your head. It is only fair that Nguyen Thanh Tuan is in a far place looking back or old friends looking to read his poetry. While the core values ​​of culture, history, and people seem to be under too much pressure; pressure from the new came rushing in; the pressure from the old persistently does not let go; pressure from each self over time and voluntarily surrendered. Oh, the pressure makes people confused. In that scene, fortunately, Nguyen Thanh Tuan was able to say that: Get out of the pond, fish and fish / Be careful not to forget to catch a lotus branch / Clap the petrified pink horse again / Bring only a gentle buffalo / Fly through the mist of copper / Melt into nothingness… “. (Dream). Oh Nguyen Thanh Tuan! It seems that everything has been peaceful in different heavens? Is the loss of good and bad people also a constant? Brothers and sisters, who have taken literature as a reason to live, they must understand that “the world is infinite and everything is empty” is the Buddha’s words thousands of years ago? The North and the South don’t have a literary background? We are in the same realm. We are in the same rhythm. We share the same reason of life and death, but are we not destined for heaven and earth?

I have known about Spanish food for a long time, but first time in Singapore. At that time, I had the opportunity to go to Lion Island quite often. Singapore consists of a large island and more than sixty small islands clustered in the middle of the ocean, possessing no natural resources, but rich in the will and intellect to turn the stopover of British traders in the early 19th century into one of the most prosperous developed countries in Asia today. Singapore is also known as a culinary paradise, with the presence of countless unique dishes from around the world. The me of those years was young and fresh, looking at everything was sparkling with hope, every day joyfully welcomed a beginning leading to many new things, all joys and sorrows could become poetic and unexpected. Singapore is one of the places where my adventurous, amazing, and beautiful life is kept. On special occasions, we often have dinner at Clarke Quay or Boat Quay, where there are many attractive restaurants located on both sides of the bustling Singapore River. Before dinner that night, he suggested playing lots to decide where to eat. When I was busy getting ready, it was the turn of the dress, he wrote on the back of five small business cards, folded in half. He said: “There are five surprises! You choose!”. After hesitating for a while, picking it up and putting it down, I opened the lot and shouted: “Ahhh! Spanish food!!!”. I had never tasted Spanish food before, so I was very excited. He chuckles: “That’s great! I know you like it!”. We took the MRT from Orchard Road straight to Boat Quay, then walked along the river. I wear a soft silk dress, a deep peach color. He wore a smoky shirt, gray tie with tiny silver stars, and black trousers, quite formal. After a hot, dry day, the cool evening breezes bring moisture to my skin, crept over my lashes, in my hair, into me through the delicate silk. He joked, saying: “Look at you, like a small sail! Be careful, the wind blows it away!”. But that “small sail” just touched the river, overflowing, eagerly ready to sail to the great sea, not having anticipated all the storms and storms, even though they had known storms. We went to Tapas Tree, a Spanish restaurant near the foot of Elgin Bridge, on Clarke Quay, chose a table on a floating raft close to the river embankment to see the city at night. A Spanish singer with wavy brown hair, dreamily holding a guitar sings melodious Espanol love songs, while diners sip a dinner prepared by a Spanish chef. The restaurant’s menu is full of attractive Tapas dishes. Tapas is originally an appetizer, made from vegetables, meat or seafood, with a lot of hot and spicy spices such as turmeric, pepper, garlic, dried chili, paprika and olive oil. In my opinion, if the main flavor of Thai cuisine is lemongrass and coconut milk, French cuisine is cheese, Chinese cuisine is soy sauce…, then Spanish cuisine is garlic and olive oil. It makes most of the dishes, like the fish sauce of Vietnamese cuisine. A meal of Tapas, of course, cannot be without Sangria, a cool cocktail, made from red wine with a little brandy, sugar or honey and fresh fruits such as oranges, lemons, chopped apples. The first sip of Sangria was wonderful, fresh and joyful rushing into my senses, brimming with vibrant Mediterranean colors, pangolin on the tip of my tongue. It stimulates, stimulates the taste buds, makes us crave for all the Tapas dishes that have just been served, a little of each, delicately presented in rustic red-brown terracotta plates. First, we started with Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup that is very popular during summer days. Tomato peeled, seeded, ground with bread cores soaked in cold water, added garlic, vinegar, sugar, bell peppers and olive oil, into a smooth paste, chilled before enjoying. Then comes Patatas bravas, a potato dish that is sliced ​​square in the style of chess pieces, deep fried in oil, then drenched in tomato sauce, sweet peppers, red peppers, olive oil and some other condiments, served while still hot. The potato pieces are still crispy but covered with tomato sauce, sweet and sour, and even greasy with olive oil. And Champinones al ajillo, sautéed mushrooms with olive oil, garlic, and hot peppers. I used to love shrimp, so I can’t miss Gambas al ajillo, garlic shrimp with olive oil sauce, served with crispy bread. We talked endlessly, laughed together, welcomed the river breeze, leisurely sipped Tapas with Sangria wine, sipping every precious moment. I want to anchor the night at this riverbank forever, afraid that time will take it away. The brown-haired singer plays the piano, the melody of “Lo Mucho Que Te Quiero”, a passionate Spanish love song: “Trust me when I say how much I love you. Believe me when I say how much I care about you. Forgive me, give me peace of mind. All I need is time, to prove my love for you…” . He sang, as he walked towards us, and then stood right next to him, as if he were singing for us alone. He holds my hand, looks deep into my eyes, so tender. The waiter suddenly brought a tray, in a small gift wrapping tray wrapped in ash pink paper, tied with a silver ribbon, very beautiful. He thanked him, took the gift, gave it to me. He smiled, said softly like the breeze: “This gift belongs to the lady, senora! Wish you all the best, little sail!”. I was swept from surprise to surprise, just sitting there, speechless. The river wind blew fiercely, as if to lift me up. The city lights cast shadows on the river at night with seven sparkling rainbow colors. The invisible anchor I dropped somewhere in the stream of light… The gift I received that night was a thick, beautifully printed book, “A Little Taste of Spain” – “A Little Taste of Spain”. A detailed guide on how to cook Tapas dishes with vivid illustrations. The first page had the line he dedicated, the handwriting circling like tiny crabs crawling across the paper: “To remember the Spanish dinners by the river, and many more in a lifetime” . I’ve tasted Spanish from restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, in Manila, in Kuala Lumpur, in Penang, in Jakarta, in Bangkok, in Hong Kong, in London, in Paris, in Berlin, in Copenhagen, even right between Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but never having the same taste of dinner on the banks of the Singapore River again. Sometimes I still make Spanish at home. I like Gambas al ajillo best, because it’s quite simple, but delicious. All you need is really fresh peeled shrimp, some big garlic, a few dried chili peppers, some parsley, scallions, a little pepper, a little salt, butter and of course quite a bit of olive oil, and you’re done. One part minced garlic, the rest thinly sliced; chopped dried chili or leave it whole, depending on who likes it more or less spicy; finely chopped parsley and scallions. Marinate the shrimp with minced garlic, pepper, and salt, let it infuse. Put the pan on a low heat, add olive oil, butter, garlic, chili, shrimp shells, and stir until fragrant, then turn off the heat, filter the oil and discard the residue. Thus, the olive sauce will be dense with shrimp flavor and rich. Return the oil to the pan, heat it to medium heat, add the sliced ​​garlic and chili, fry until fragrant, then the shrimp. Quickly flip up and down to cook shrimp evenly on both sides. Placing shrimp on a Spanish-style deep red-brown ceramic plate is not only beautiful, but the ceramic will help keep the dish hot. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice on top, then drizzle with oil sauce, sprinkle some pepper, scallions, parsley on top, serve hot with crusty bread. Hai passionately. Freshly cooked shrimp, pink red; firm and sweet shrimp meat; Garlic olive sauce is ecstatic, hot spicy. And Sangria, how can there not be a glass of Sangria on the table with Tapas when summer comes! The book “A Little Taste of Spain” I still keep, even though it has long been no need to open it when cooking Tapas. Years after my first Tapas, for Christmas, I received a package from across the ocean, with no name from the sender. In it was a cookbook: “Spain – Mediterranian Cuisine” (“Spanish – Mediterranean Cuisine”). I saw the familiar little crabs crawling cautiously across the front page: “Merry Chrismast! Enjoy your New Harbor!” – (“Merry Christmas! Let’s have fun in the New Harbor!”) . Which new pier? I was suddenly bewildered. Where did my anchor go in the riverbed that sparkled with color that night? Time has pushed the windy little sail out to sea, encountering many unpredictable storms. New and old wharf. To my surprise, I found five faded business cards, with a faint crease in the middle, smoothed out, sandwiched between the pages of a book. The backs of all five cards are written the same, just two words: “Spanish food” . I laughed, but my eyes were suddenly wet. The old river wind blows back.

Build a new life Sitting on a motorboat, invested by Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu with an amount of more than 100 million VND, with all necessary equipment for tourists such as life jackets and lifebuoys, I feel the life of the people. The bed of the Sesan 4 Hydropower Plant has changed and is much different from 10 years ago, when they first came here to determine to build a new life, in their second homeland. The sound of the boat’s engine going up and down the lake reverberated and stirred the whole area. The wind blows on the lake surface, with a faint, strong smell characteristic of the river. Trieu’s houseboat pairing boat, tourists quickly spread out, some people are eager to feed fish, people go to see fish drying, making fish sauce, laughing and talking. As for me, hanging around Mr. Trieu to ask about his daily work. Mr. Trieu said, when the gray smoke behind the raft houses started to emerge, the men were ready to go and drop nets. 10 years living on this lake bed, his rafts and the people around him are getting bigger and bigger, sure, life is much better, old age and children can learn more words, but with The men from all over the country gather here are still the same: pulling nets at night, pulling nets during the day to drop nets and nets, and then sell fish to traders. Mr. Trieu confided, 10 years ago, the bed of Se San 4 lake was vast and lonely, with countless fish. On the first day of coming here, the people of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Binh fished gobies and chameleons; people in the west fish Dinh sesame, red-tailed snout; and the people in the central region, in the southeastern part of the country, they will catch any fish. “Now the fish are less and wiser, they just swim under the rotten wooden trunks of the lake bed, rarely come up, so if they drop the nets deep down, they will all be torn. In the past, there was a night when catching half a kilo of fish, at least from 10 kg to 20 kg. For the past few years, it’s only been a few kilograms, so you guys have to switch to fishing,” said Mr. Trieu, pointing out to tell me where there are rafts built by people there and floating on the lake. At about 17 o’clock, when the sunset fell, we got on the boat to follow Mr. Trieu and the households in the fishing village to prepare tools to cast nets and cast nets. The atmosphere becomes bustling by the sound of motorboats and fishermen calling each other. Trieu’s family has a total of 20 baskets, each with an investment of about four million dong. As he walked, he introduced me, each basket was placed at least 200 m apart, we clearly divided the area so that families did not concentrate on mining in one place, each time it took more than 1 It took hours to return to the shore because the distance was quite long. Each rack will be fitted with a battery used to connect to light a light bulb. That’s how to catch Sesan anchovies. Just stretch out, drop the lights down, the anchovies see the light and gather. Around 3 am the next morning, the boat went out to pull the nets and harvested the fish. Those who are afraid will bring it to Se San market to sell, diligently bring it back to dry and sell it gradually. Up to now, Sesan anchovy has become a famous specialty. When the batches are finished, the people of Sesan fishing village come back to pick up every piece of trash and waste floating on the river. It’s not because hundreds of people are always diving and roaming the river, so they do that but that’s the reason for living. Mr. Trieu said: Contaminating the river also means harming yourself, that thought is deeply rooted in the thinking of this fishing village. Living off the products on the river, more than a hundred people in Sesan fishing village always consider the river as a living being, like a soulmate to remind themselves not to do anything harmful to the river. Mr. Dang Van Thuoc, Director of Se San Cooperative, saw that Mr. Trieu’s house had visitors, so he rowed over to chat with us. He asserted that: I was one of the first people to come here with Mr. Trieu, well versed in all fishing channels, but I always remind the fishing village households to never fish in an extermination way, only with nets. Traditional , . We agree to make the eyeballs according to a certain size, only the big and right sized fish will be harvested and the fry and small fish will fall in to continue to grow. Especially from the 14th to the 20th day of the lunar calendar every month, the people of the fishing village will not pull the net and release the net because this is the breeding cycle of anchovies. In the most difficult times, absolutely no one is allowed to use explosives to fish in the river. It is a crime, it is to destroy the river. Gently stepping through the wooden planks to connect the floating rafts of the houses together, helping the nearby families to come to the house to chat, I met Mr. Nguyen Van Tung, who is over 70 years old this year. With a bright smile when welcoming a stranger to visit, he happily said: Every morning he wakes up very early to wait for the morning sun, and then begins his working day. “In the past, the whole family of six of us lived in a river down to the east, but there people were indifferent to the river, did not protect the river, so the fate of people was poor when the river was polluted. more shrimp. Up here, everyone has a sense of preserving the water flow and the landscape, so life has been warmed up,” said Mr. Tung. Beautiful fishing village After nearly 10 years of clinging to the Se San river, the lives of the fishing village households are still precarious, their children cannot go to school, their lives are floating along the water. Through the monitoring process, the households in the fishing village are all diligent, honest and have the desire to settle down for a long time, so the leaders of Kon Tum province have created conditions for the households to gradually stabilize their lives. The Lunar New Year of the Pig in 2019, the joy of the fishing village was multiplied many times when all 29 households with more than 100 people were imported, were granted 400 m2 of residential land and each household was supported 50 million VND. to make a house. From a place of floating and precarious living along the water, the people of the fishing village have been settled. Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu said, with the same amount of 50 million dong, most families in the fishing village try to contribute from 50 to more than 100 million dong to build a house. Therefore, 29 spacious and spacious Great Solidarity houses with an area of ​​​​from 80 m2 to 120 m2 with corrugated iron roof and flower tile background were inaugurated. Ashore, many families were able to buy motorbikes, televisions and refrigerators. Comrade Tran Trung Dung, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ia Toi Commune, said that from the capital of the national target program on building new countryside, the fishing village was invested by the State with more than three billion VND. pull electricity from the grid to the village. In the coming time, we are focusing on bringing clean water to each household because this is still the most urgent issue today. For the education of children in the fishing village to be what it is today, families are always grateful to Mr. Nguyen Quang Tho, Head of Education and Training Department of Ia H’Drai district. Mr. Tho went to each campaigner, creating conditions to bring their children to class. Mr. Tho shared his memories of the first days of mobilizing families: Most of the people in the fishing village were afraid to send their children to school because it took a long time to pick them up. They think very simply that their parents and themselves who were born and raised on the raft are literate but still live well. However, I was not discouraged, went out to friends to talk, persevered, and encouraged each family so that the children could go to school. Thanks to that, all children born in the fishing village today who reach school age can go to school fully. Comrade Vo Anh Tuan, Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People’s Committee Ia H’Drai said: In the coming time, the district government will focus on supporting and investing more methodically in developing the tourism economy in the province. fishing village, to effectively exploit this potential. Tourism cannot be generalized but must deal with specific problems. For example, it is necessary to build a tour with a specific schedule so that visitors feel like coming back and recommending to friends to visit. The overnight stay of tourists at the raft can only meet a few, but not guarantee for large groups. In addition, the district will seek and call for capable and enthusiastic investors to invest in building more tourist attractions in the lakebed area, thereby forming a closed ecotourism chain. with its own charms. Deep lake night. The raft house of Mr. Nguyen Van Trieu sways with each wave. Lying down listening to the waves crashing into the raft house, from time to time there was the sound of fish jumping below, we kept awake. The alarm clock sounded at 3 am, I quickly got up to prepare to follow Mr. After two hours, when we returned, the sun began to shine. Before parting after a night of experiencing the life of the people of Sesan fishing village, I made an appointment with the people here to come back to witness the change when the tourism potential on the bed of Sesan 4 becomes a reality. Se San fishing village will become an attractive destination on the travel map of Kon Tum, the Central Highlands region in particular and the whole country in general.

Before flowing to Loei province – a province located on the Thailand-Laos border, the Mekong River’s water had to flow through dozens of other hydroelectric dams, including 11 of China and one of Laos. South China Morning Post On May 25, citing local people and experts, the hydroelectric dams of China and Laos have affected fish habitats, changing the natural flow with the seasons and even the color of the water. . The impact is becoming more and more obvious Rodjana Thepwong, a 64-year-old woman with a lovely smile, said gold panders in Thailand often wade into the middle of the river during the dry season. “The sediment at the bottom of the river is full of gold. I’ve even found pieces of gold as small as tamarind seeds,” she said, plunging into the river with a pickaxe, brushing away the mud and rocks. “Because of hydroelectric dams, river water rises and falls randomly, making the ecosystem out of balance. We were forced to move to the river’s edge, where there was only a very small amount of gold.” Ms. Rodjana is just one of 60 million people who depend on the Mekong River – the river that flows from China, through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia before emptying into the delta region of Vietnam. Environmental activists say the diets, livelihoods and environment of these millions have been put in jeopardy since Chinese companies harnessed hydroelectricity. One fine day, these two women were able to find $15 worth of gold. Photo: South China Morning Post. “I realized things were changing, many fish died and the water rose suddenly,” said Chantarasee Hieng, another gold pander. Downstream, experts say, in February, the river suddenly turned blue – a seasonal phenomenon for the first time, indicating that nutrients from silt are gradually disappearing from waterways this. Climate change also plays a role in causing this phenomenon, with heavier rains and prolonged droughts. But both Ms. Rodjana and Hieng insist hydroelectric dams are the main cause of the decline in the quality of the river that was once a source of food and income for many families. “So sad. But what can we do?” Ms. Rodjana said. Hope is forgotten A new dam is scheduled to be built about 2 km from the Chiang Kan district of Loei, the mountainous northeastern province of Thailand. The Sanakham Dam is a $2 billion program with electricity generated for export mainly to Thailand. The dam, built by Chinese company Datang, is expected to generate 684 megawatts of electricity when it comes into operation from 2028. The project is seen as an integral part of its strategy to become “the power source of Southeast Asia. ” of Laos. Gold panders in the Mekong River, Loei province, Thailand.

The Mekong River Commission – the commission set up to manage water resources in the Mekong basin, with members Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam – says it has only about $28 million (1.4%) total budget) is devoted to measures to reduce harm to the environment and society. Thailand openly opposes the Lao plan. Residents living in this river area are lobbying the government to stop building the dam, along with public debate about the need for electricity generated by hydropower among officials in the country. Tosapol Wongwan, assistant secretary-general, National Water Resources Office of Thailand, said: “What is happening in the Mekong River has reached a point where it cannot be repaired. What we can do right now is focus on how to reduce the impact (human activities on the river).” Not easy to solve Upstream countries – China and Laos – have begun to share data on water flows and herald the closure and release of dams to their downstream neighbors. However, it is difficult to achieve complete transparency among countries with competing strategic, economic and national security needs. Laos owns two dams – the Thai-developed Xayaburi dam in the north and the Don Sahong dam near the Cambodian border. There are also seven other projects being planned. Mekong River near the Thai-Lao border. Photo: Reuters. Critics say it’s difficult to make a transparent assessment of the uses and impacts of dams on the environment. China, which is speeding up dam construction, insists hydroelectricity is an eco-friendly resource to boost the Mekong’s economy. However, according to Songrit Kirk Pongern, an academic researcher on the Mekong River at Thailand’s Kasetsart University, as dam construction continues, the forecast of a negative impact on the river is ominous. “In the next five years, the consequences will become more and more obvious. The number of fish will continue to decline, the downstream will lack alluvium, riverside and local fishing will disappear, food security for 60 million people will be exhausted,” he said.

When processing, the saw blade is easy to blunt and difficult to shape. To complete nearly 40 works, the craftsmen took more than 5 years. “Driftwood is mostly big trees, several hundred years old. Due to many different impacts, the tree was buried in the riverbed for hundreds of years, causing the wood to disintegrate, leaving only the strong and hard core. Therefore, large monolithic driftwood is very rare and it is almost impossible to identify what kind of tree it is,” said Mr. Mr. Nghia added, depending on the shape of each piece of driftwood, the artisans will sculpt based on the natural shape of the tree. In particular, the beauty of driftwood is often hidden, so the creator must have a keen observation eye, rich associations to discover it.

Two weeks ago, just as dawn broke over the Ganges, a riverside resident discovered several bodies drifting into the shallows of the river most sacred to Indians. Darsan Nishad – a 35-year-old man working for a local environmental program – pulled the eight bodies out of the water. He then tied these bodies with sacks to take them away to check the cause of death. Finally, the unfortunate victims will be cremated – according to Hindu rites. “We don’t know where these bodies come from. We didn’t even know if they had any diseases,” said Nishad, pointing to the area where he and his colleagues had to carry out this difficult task. Hindus make offerings to the sacred Ganges River after scattering the ashes of their loved ones. Hundreds of bodies were found floating or buried in the river in May. Photo: Washington Post. Saddened by the experience, Nishad shared his belief in the Ganges, which Hindus revere as a sacred river. According to Hindu beliefs, anyone who has bathed in the river will be cleansed of all sins. “The river has great spiritual significance to us. Indians believe that if you dip yourself in this water even once, you will be protected for life,” said Nishad, standing a few feet from the crematorium in the river. “For us, the river is the goddess,” said Nishad. This is just a small number of hundreds of other bodies floating or buried in sand along the length of the river in the context that India suffered the second worst consequences in the world because of the Covid-19 pandemic. after America. Worried fisherman The mystery surrounding the bodies remains unanswered. Authorities have not been able to find out how many people have Covid-19 among those bodies. Many believe that some families have opted for extreme measures – dropping the bodies of loved ones in the Ganges – because they cannot afford to cremate them. Before the second wave of Covid-19 “swallowed” India, the cremation rite cost only 70 USD. However, the number has now risen to more than $400 – almost six times higher – since the end of April. In Sujabad – a large community that depends on the Ganges for a living – many people are currently without work. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the loss of jobs for river boaters carrying pilgrims and tourists. With bodies constantly dropping into the river causing pollution, local fishermen are worried about their catch and fish stocks being affected. For many people, the source of fish on the sacred river has been a way of life for a long time. The Indian crematorium burns day and night. Photo: New York Times. According to people here, the most prosperous business at this time is providing wood for the crematorium. As of May 23, India recorded more than 26.2 million cases of Covid-19 and more than 295,000 deaths. The number of new infections per day in India has recently decreased, but the average number of deaths in the past 7 days has remained high, above 4,000 people per day. The “tsunami” of Covid-19 has put the Indian economy on the brink of collapse. Like the bodies found in the Ganges – whether they died from coronavirus, heart attacks or old age – residents of communities like Sujabad are falling victim to this virus. Government gets involved Images of floating bodies prompted authorities to step in. Patrol ships are deployed across more than 2,400 kilometers of the Ganges River. State and local governments have established a network of free cremation sites – providing firewood and inviting priests to perform Masses for families who cannot afford it. Hundreds of such crematoriums have been opened across Varanasi, the holy city on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh state, and home to a series of steps leading down to the Ganges (called ghats). Usually, Hindus will gather in large numbers at ghats to bathe, baptize their children and scatter the ashes of the dead. However, now the ghats are uninhabited, while the crematoriums operate continuously day and night. In downtown Varanasi, officials have set up a Covid-19 “command center”. Here, thousands of staff will take calls from residents, check on patients, order ambulances for those in need of hospitalization and arrange cremation services. A large screen hung on the wall continuously displays the latest information on the number of hospital beds, oxygen supply and the number of new infections. Government employees patrol the Ganges River. Photo: Washington Post. Share with Washington Post , cleric Satindra Kumar in Varanasi could not hide his fatigue after long days of performing funeral rites. “I have performed the funeral rite 15 times in the past two days, most of the dead are patients with corona virus. People who don’t die from the disease also come here,” Kumar said. “The pandemic is so devastating! Everyone is afraid and suffering. I cannot stop what is happening, but I will continue to pray. I hope that will bring peace to the relatives of the deceased.” Even the poor still have to celebrate However, in rural areas, there is no similar service for the family of someone who has died of Covid-19 or other causes. Despite the extra cost, many people still make trips to the ghats to pray for their loved ones in accordance with Hindu custom. They believe that even with the added economic burden on their shoulders, they still have to bear to follow the ancestral traditions. Journalist of Washington Post witnessed a group of peasants reach out to one of Varanasi’s oldest ghats to perform funerals for three loved ones. Cremation platforms along the riverside. Photo: Getty. They prepare offerings consisting of pellets and spices, wrapped in large leaves under the supervision of a Hindu priest. After the bodies of three loved ones were blessed, the men stepped off the ghats, floated their offerings in the river, and began scattering the ashes. After that, besides the cremation fee, the group also had to pay the ceremony money for the ceremony just now. They anxiously counted every penny they had accumulated, plus the costs of barbers, photographers and gifts. They do not hesitate to pay expensive expenses to fulfill their religious obligations at a time of uncertainty, fear of an invisible and deadly force. “For generations, villagers have come here to perform the last rites of life,” said Lakshmi Singh, a farmer in his 60s. Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

Before Covid-19 appeared, the Ganges River was once “flooded with corpses”. In 1918, when an influenza pandemic swept through India and killed an estimated 18 million people, the river’s waters filled with the smell of rotting corpses. This creepy scene is making a comeback because of a pandemic. The official death toll in India is reported to be more than 250,000, but experts say the real number is five times higher, according to Guardians. These bodies began to wash up on the banks of the sacred river, becoming a haunting symbol for the uncounted Covid-19 deaths. According to the Economist , these images also reveal the picture of Indian society with poor people struggling to cope with the pandemic and make a living. Relatives and relatives carry the body of a person who died of Covid-19 to be buried on the banks of the Ganges River. Photo: Shutterstock. No one sells firewood to cremate relatives On May 19, India continued to set a new record for the number of deaths in a day due to Covid-19: 4,529 people. This is the highest number of daily Covid-19 deaths of any country ever, surpassing the previous record in the US with 4,475 deaths in a day. To date, India has recorded more than 25 million cases and 275,000 deaths from Covid-19. However, there are no official statistics on the number of bodies discovered in the past two weeks in the open stretch of the Ganges that flows through the poor rural states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, or buried in shallow sandy graves along the riverbanks. in Uttar Pradesh. Through statistics, locals and journalists here put the number of more than 2,000 bodies. In the village of Gahmar in Uttar Pradesh, 15-year-old Raju Chaudhry, who works on a fishing boat, said he had recently seen “about 50 bodies being washed away every day, for many days”. There is no way to know if these people have Covid-19 or not, although Indian authorities have acknowledged some of the bodies as those who died from the pandemic. According to official figures released by the government, the death and infection rate of Covid-19 in Gahmar village is low. But Bhupendra Upadhyay, a priest here, said a lot of people have died in the past few weeks. Earthen vases hang from a banyan tree by the Ganges River in the village of Gahmar, each representing a person who has just died. Photo: Guardian. “I saw 30 to 35 bodies being brought into the river recently and drowned here. Many people drop dead bodies in the river because they have difficulty arranging cremation, because there are so many dead people,” he said. Upadhyay pointed to the trunk of the banyan tree where he was sitting. On the trunk, dozens of earthen pots are tied up. “Each of those vases represents a deceased person. Let’s see how many, just from the last 10 days,” he said. In the case of Shambhu Nath, his family had no difficulty in cremation, as villagers helped and attended the funeral. But after the second brother in the family died of Covid-19, they found themselves abandoned by their neighbors. “When we tried to buy firewood for our cremation, we were chased away. No one in the village could help us with the cremation because they suspected we had Covid-19. We couldn’t get the wood and didn’t know what else to do. , so we had to drown his body in the river. We did it at 11am the next morning, and only a close family came to offer condolences,” he said. What do corpses in the Ganges reveal? Sheet Economist An assessment of India’s covid-19 crisis, with images of corpses floating in the Ganges, reveals two things. One is the scale of the tragedy sweeping across the vast territory of India. In remote rural areas, far from city clinics, people are not being tested for Covid-19. Therefore, no cases or deaths were recorded. The officially published death toll is now a fraction of the true number. Economist identify. The second thing that the bodies in the Ganges reveal is that this wave of Covid-19 is ravaging the lives of the poor, who are already struggling to make ends meet. The poor are losing their jobs, starving to eat and falling victim to scams. Jammu and Kashmir State Disaster Response Force soldiers carry empty coffins to transport the bodies of people who died of Covid-19 on May 19. Photo: AP. “People borrow money to pay for medicines, or oxygen tanks, or pay extra fees for ambulance drivers because they have to carry Covid-19 patients. So they can’t afford to pay for cremation or funeral. ceremony,” Utpal Pathak, a local journalist, told Economist. After the first wave of Covid-19 swept through India in 2020, many local newspapers and research institutes tried to calculate the economic impact of the pandemic on the poor. Pew Research Institute estimates that as of January 2020, only 4.3% of Indians earn less than $2. A year later, that number had increased to 9.7%, or 134 million people. In-depth research by Azim Premji University in Bangalore shows that after the 2020 nationwide lockdown, about 230 million Indians slipped below the poverty line, which is set based on the minimum wage (about $45 a month). ). The university researchers also found that during the lockdown, 90% of the poor consumed less food. Six months later, their diets still haven’t returned to normal. In the past year, the income of Indian workers, including the lucky 10% who have a salaried job, has fallen by a third, according to the report. Economist. Shocked by the terrible impact of the pandemic and the blockade order in 2020, this year, the central government of India let the state and local governments to impose the blockade order on their own based on the actual situation. “Although the economy has not yet come to a complete standstill, the scale of this outbreak still leaves many families devastated.” Economist write. A worker helps cremate a body on the banks of the Ganges River. Photo: Getty. For many people, the biggest shock is the loss of family breadwinners. The Indian railway company has 1.2 million employees, but Covid-19 killed 1,952 employees here. In April, the state of Uttar Pradesh dispatched 1.2 million civil servants to work on local elections and counting votes. Report of Economist said this election was the cause of the large-scale outbreak. It is estimated that about 2,000 of the aforementioned civil servants died afterward, including 800 teachers. Each of those deaths cost their families weeks of grief and expensive treatment. Not to mention each person who died could have infected and made 20 others seriously ill. “In a normal year, one in 20 families is pushed into poverty due to high medical costs. What has happened in the last two months is understandable. Millions of wonderful Indian families Hope was forced to sell gold, pawn or borrow money. Economist write. In times of poverty, people are vulnerable to a variety of scams, such as healthcare workers demanding bribes to secure hospital admissions, purchasing counterfeit drugs, or even in some states, painted scams. on fire extinguishers to sell as oxygen tanks. Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, who has been promoting an herbal “cure” for Covid-19, last week advised Indians to eat more dark chocolate with “more than 70% cocoa” to beat the stress of the pandemic. . Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

In recent years, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) has gradually become popular in Vietnam and is loved by many young people. “SUP rowing is a sport that brings exciting and diverse experiences to many players,” said Nguyen Ho, founder of Saigon Cheo Station. Over the past 7 years, SUP (Stand Up Paddle-boarding), or stand-up paddleboarding, has gradually become popular in Vietnam and favored by many young people. In addition to curious guests who love to experience new things, this sport also builds a community of passionate players, long-term investment. Having been involved with SUP rowing from an early age, Mr. Nguyen Ho said that the number of young people interested in this experience has increased significantly in the past 4-5 years. “Every month, we can receive 600-700 regular students to practice, and the number of guests who come to rent SUP or experience the subject is difficult to count,” he said. Unlike kayaking or boating, SUP is a personalized sport. Therefore, the tools and playing equipment are all one. Players will stand on a large board and use paddles to move on the water. In fact, SUP is suitable for many types of terrain such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, but it is still ideal when playing in open water such as the sea. Under the advice, the SUP site I chose was in District 7, HCMC. One of the reasons why SUP is increasingly popular with young people is that it can serve a variety of purposes: relaxing rowing, sports rowing and participating in SUP racing. Like many first-time players, I choose to relax in order to both experience the sport and see Saigon from a new perspective. With this need, Coach Ho advised me to use an all-round board, suitable for beginners thanks to its well-balanced design, easy to balance on the water. The cost for a stand-up paddle boarding session here ranges from 300,000-600,000 VND/SUP, depending on different types and types of boards. In addition, players can participate in a short 3-hour training course with a coach for VND 500,000 to receive instruction on the most basic skills of this subject. For any sport, preparation is a must to ensure safety and optimize the experience. In about 30-45 minutes, I was taught the basics of water safety, SUP skills and handling situations. For beginners, the trainer will teach the basic movements to steer the SUP board on the water, including how to hold the paddle, balance, row straight, steer the sides and turn. The above techniques are not too difficult to understand and complicated, but it takes time to get used to and practice when starting “real combat”. After the introductory lesson on how to paddle SUP, I switched to protective equipment during the game: life jacket and seat belt. Note, the seat belt connecting the paddle board and the ankle is a must, regardless of whether it is a beginner or a professional. Nguyen Ho said the station has the complete right not to let guests into the water if they refuse to wear a leg strap. “Wearing a leg strap is like wearing a seat belt when sitting in a car or plane. If you accidentally fall into the water, you can’t drift far from the board, so you can rely on SUP to float to the surface,” he explained. . Another note when playing water sports is that players need to pay attention to the direction of the wind and creek to choose the time and place to drop the paddle board and handle the situation. Because the place where I dropped the SUP was a canal, with sludge accumulating below, the coach advised to wait for the high tide to move smoothly. On the other hand, players should row against the current first, when returning, they can follow the positive current to reduce their strength. Even though I was fully equipped with knowledge, I was still a little nervous before going into the water. Contrary to initial worries, the SUP board is quite stable, with little wobble on the water when I sit on it. Initially, players are encouraged to row in a kneeling position to get used to the feeling of floating on the water, then stand rowing as the name of the sport. However, when I lost my balance or encountered high winds, the coach advised me to kneel down to stabilize, to avoid falling into the water. After a few minutes of getting used to the SUP in a kneeling position, I gradually became more confident, trying to stand up in the correct way as instructed: against the paddle on the board, using one leg as a pillar to borrow the force to stand up. Only then did I really shake off the initial anxiety and confusion to enjoy this “unique” experience. From the water, I can watch the bustling urban scene in the distance, immersed in the golden sunset. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Saigon, seeing the city from a whole new perspective is an exciting experience. After about an hour of rowing SUP, I started to feel tired. Therefore, players need to have a good physical foundation, or choose a reasonable intensity and playing time. In addition, when encountering underwater situations such as high winds, falling off the paddle board, entangled in obstacles …, it is necessary to calmly handle it, do not panic. Because SUP is a water sport, players should wear lightweight clothing or sportswear with sun protection for ease of swimming, movement and avoiding sunburn. I also prepare an extra waterproof bag to store important things like phone, cash…

To date, India has recorded more than 25 million cases and 275,000 deaths from Covid-19. However, many experts say the real number could be many times higher. On the riverbanks, many cremation pylons burned around the clock, many cremation sites had no space left. This phenomenon partly reflects the unprecedented number of deaths and has not been updated in official data. According to the BBC , behind the bodies floating in the river is a story of customs, poverty and a deadly pandemic. Many cremation pylons burn around the clock in India. Photo: Getty. Frighten The horrifying story in the state of Uttar Pradesh first came to light on May 10. The opening was the event of 71 bodies washed up on the riverbank in the village of Chausa in Bihar. Officials said some of the remains may have been leftover body parts that fell into the Ganges after cremations, but they suspect the bodies were dumped in the river. The police put a net across the water to prevent the same thing from happening. A day later, about 10 kilometers from Chausa, dogs and crows were seen swarming with dozens of decomposing bodies on the banks of a river in the village of Gahmar, in the Pradesh Ghazipur region of Uttar state. Locals said the body had been washed up on the embankment for several days. However, the authorities ignored their complaints about the stench until news of the corpses found downstream of Bihar made the news. Dozens of bodies swell and decompose, floating in the river. They were discovered by people when they went for a morning dip in India’s holiest river. Sheet Hindustan Police reported that 62 bodies had been recovered. Meanwhile, in Kannauj, Kanpur, Unnao and Prayagraj, the riverbanks are dotted with shallow graves. Shallow graves by the Ganges River. Photo: Getty. Videos sent to BBC from the banks of the Mehndi ghat in Kannauj shows a series of mounds in the shape of human corpses. Each of these mounds contained a body. At the nearby Mahadevi ghat, at least 50 bodies were found. Crematorium is overloaded Traditionally, Hindus will cremate the dead. However, many communities have a practice known as “Jal Pravah” – the practice of floating the bodies of children, unmarried women, or those who have died of an infectious disease or been bitten by a snake. Many poor people do not have money to cremate their loved ones, so they also wrap their bodies in white cotton cloth and drop them into the water. Sometimes bodies are tied to rocks to ensure they will sink to the bottom of the river, but many bodies are floated without the stones tied. In the time before the pandemic, corpses floating in the Ganges were not an uncommon sight. However, the number of bodies in the river is too much in recent times, still surprising many people. A journalist in Kanpur said the number of bodies in the river was proof of the “big disparity between the official death toll and the actual death toll related to Covid-19” in India. He said that from April 16 to May 5, the official reported number was 196 deaths in Kanpur, but data from seven crematoriums showed there were nearly 8,000 cremations. “All electric crematoriums are open 24/7 in April. Even so, there are still not enough furnaces to cremate bodies, so the government has allowed the use of wood on the outside grounds for cremation,” he said. to speak. “However, crematoriums only accept confirmed Covid-19 bodies from the hospital, while a very large number of people who died at home have not been tested. Families of the dead bring the bodies of their loved ones out. on the outskirts of the city or to neighboring districts like Unnao. When they can’t find wood or a place to cremate, they drop the bodies on the riverbed.” Cremation platforms along the riverside. Photo: Getty. Another journalist in Prayagraj also believes that many of the bodies in the river are those of Covid-19 patients who died at home without being tested, or poor people who can’t afford cremation. “It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “These people are someone’s son, daughter, brother, sister, father or mother. They deserve to be respected when they die. But their deaths are not even recorded – no one knows they died or is known. How to be buried? Burial from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m The discovery of graves and decomposing bodies, along with fears that the bodies could have contracted Covid-19 have sparked panic in villages along the river. Originating in the Himalayas, the Ganges is one of the largest rivers in the world. Hindus consider this river a sacred river, they believe that bathing in the Ganges will wash away sins and use this river water for religious ceremonies. In Kannauj, Jagmohan Tiwari, a 63-year-old resident, reported seeing “150-200 shallow graves” by the river. “The burial took place from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.,” he said. The discovery of the graves caused panic in the area. People worry that bodies buried on the ground will start to float in the river when it rains and the water level rises. On May 12, the state government banned the practice of “Jal Pravah” and provided support for poor families who could not afford cremation. Relatives of a victim stand near the riverbank while the body is cremated. Photo: Getty. In many places, the police used sticks to retrieve the body from the river and called on the boatman to bring the body to the shore. After being retrieved, the decomposed bodies are buried in pits or burned on a cremation pyre. Ghazipur district judge Mangala Prasad Singh said teams had been set up, patrolling the riverbanks and cremation grounds to prevent people from dumping bodies in rivers or burying them on the banks. Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

But also in the media, it is seen that every morning, hundreds of Indians in the midst of the pandemic go to bathe in the Ganges River. No masks. No spacing. They hardly know or need to know what a Pandemic is… Peaceful Ganges! That’s the real India! Peaceful India is a country of religion! The etymology of the sacred Ganges is “Ganga”, the embodiment of the goddess Ganga – the daughter of the Himalayas – the guardian deity – the great mother of the country. Legend has it that in order to save the people from the severe drought, the god Sihva pulled a river from the sky above the heavens to flow through his hair for thousands of years and then poured down to earth. In the Vedas, there are also the most solemn words praising the Ganges River, which has the function of dissolving all sins and cleansing all impurities. According to Hindu beliefs – the majority of the Indian continent, bathing in the Ganges River means that all sins are washed away. If you drink river water before you die, it is a good omen for both the living and those who return to heaven. Many Hindus also ask to be cremated on the banks of the Ganges and then scatter the ashes into the river. Throughout history, since the legend, every morning, at dawn, tens of thousands of Indians flock to the banks of the Ganges River to bathe, meet, share, and chat. For them it is a great gift of life, so no power can take it away, not even the scary but invisible COVID virus… In the symbol of humanity, “water” which symbolizes the purification of desire directs people to the bright and benevolent domain. Because it is a flow, “river” is a symbol of renewal and rebirth. Moreover, it is also a symbol of purity (because of being purified) and an instrument of liberation. But with Indian culture, the holy Ganges River has a higher symbolic meaning than “giving prosperity and blessed salvation”. Therefore, those who bathe in the Ganges river will be “transmitted purity into their hearts” by the goddess. Most Hindus certainly believe so! The Ganges River becomes the patron god of the life and people of India, the mother river that flows cultural flows into the body of Indian society. Where there is lack of spiritual water from that spiritual flow, that place is not India! The most primitive legend tells that the goddess Ganga was always standing on a sea monster, which was her means of transportation. Her holy face was both stern, tolerant, kind, and holy. Her figure shows a symbol of strength, nobility, courage. She always wears a crown to reveal her high, pure, bright forehead. She always wears a necklace low down to her bountiful breasts symbolizing her ability to bestow prosperity… This legend is the fulcrum for two immortal epics, “Ramayana” and “Mahabharata”, the most massive ancient epics in the world. The “Mahabharata” alone is 7 times the length of the “Iliad” and “Odyssey” combined. A Battle on the banks of the Ganges in “Ramayana”! It can be affirmed that the structure of the massive “Mahabharata” epic is the structure of the great Ganges river flow because the river is like an artistic symbol expressing the spiritual life of the main characters, who govern and direct the people. as a spiritual leader. The opening part of the epic tells about the origin of genealogies with the main core being that the Vasus family sinned against the Taoist Vasita, so they were reincarnated into the world as the children of the goddess Ganges and King Santanu. As soon as they were born, they were thrown into the river by their mother (goddess) to free them from the Taoist spell. This is a great and constant archetype so that everyone wants to bathe in the Ganges River in the future with the desire to wash away sins. The motif of bathing in the sea and sacred river water becomes a common symbol for human culture talking about renewal and rebirth. God of Fire in Greek mythology was a naughty, hyperactive boy who once provoked Dot, so he was thrown into the sea, unfortunately, he fell on an island and lost his leg. Since then, the Fire god has been limping (flashing like fire!). In Egyptian mythology, Prince Morann, son of the king of Cairpe, was born a mute monster and was thrown into the sea. Fortunately, the sea water broke the monster mask so that later the prince became a great judge… But among those episodes, the meaning of bathing in the Ganges river is the most enduring, followed by many people. Best. And maybe forever as long as there is the Ganges! When epic wars occurred, the Ganges River served as a witness to history. Only in the space of the Ganges can the characters “enlighten” the truth and morality as well as the principles of Indian spiritual life, of the Indian spirit of peace and selflessness. Sacred water helps them return to their human roots to neutralize hatred. In front of the Ganges, the sinner will realize his sin and repent… There is an event that no one will miss when reading “Mahabharata” when the villain Aswatthama fled to the banks of the Ganges with the most cruel revenge of killing the Pandava family’s grandson still in the womb. but this action was nullified by the god Krishna. Then the whole Pandava family forgave him… It turned out that the Ganges had sanctified people. Since then forgiveness has become an Indian character, an Indian spirituality. At the end of the war, despite the victory, there is no victory song, because the war is destruction anyway, on both sides. King Yudhisthira triumphantly ascended the throne, but there were no grand festivals. Just a ritual sacrifice: “The king went to the Ganges River and according to the traditional custom of offering sacrifices to pray for the souls of the deceased to rest.” It should be said more clearly that the king prayed for all the dead souls, both on this side, on the other side, regardless. This detail shows more clearly the human meaning of the king’s enthronement without the corresponding ritual. It’s an Indian identity! And yet, King Yudhisthira is also depicted when standing in front of the Ganges River, he is like standing in front of a sacred, sacred and extremely mysterious cathedral, and then the mood rises with torment about what he has caused suffering to people. other. He repented. He judges and punishes himself. He became a symbol of endurance and patience… This symbol entered Indian culture and became a living and action maxim: “Patience is the highest virtue!”, “Tolerance is fame, endurance is glory!”. The Indian cosmology is also: “All things operate according to the principle of endurance!”. So we understand the modern Indian revolution based on the principle of non-violence! Because the moral concepts of endurance and patience have become the spiritual foundation of Indian society! In the epic “Ramayana” the characters always pray and bow to the Ganges. The character always considers the river a fulcrum of strength, a moral fulcrum for action. It is a creed as constant in each character. Legend has it that King Xagara sent sixty thousand sons to find the lost sacrificial horse. Those sons traveled all over the world, finally finding the horse near Kapila. They immediately thought that He was a thief. Enraged, the god Kapila burned all the children of King Xagara. The king’s grandson, Angxumana, received advice: “You must make offerings to the sacred water of Ganga. Okay, then the ashes of these sixty thousand people will go to heaven.” Indeed, when offering water to the Ganges River, the souls of the dead are liberated to the high land of bliss. Legend is deeply ingrained, imprinted in the Indian mind: When you die, you will be cremated on the banks of the Ganges River is a happiness! Tradition must always be in sync with the present for people to enter civilization. To hold on to tradition is to be conservative. The whole world is making the best efforts to prevent the epidemic … but in India it is not yet. That’s the lesson: A traditional gem in the light of modern science will shine even brighter!

Beautiful riverside village. first. National Highway 25 – Road 7 before 1975, 181km long, starting from Highway 14 at Cheo Reo junction in Chu Se town, Chu Se district, Gia Lai, and ending at Highway 1 in Tuy Hoa city. Phu Yen province. Highway 25 is like a soft silk, when hiding in the vastness of rubber, sometimes through coffee and pepper gardens, then gently squeezing through countless upside down hillsides… However, no matter where it crosses over, Highway 25 is still “in love” with the Ba River. Only in places where the terrain is divided, Highway 25 and the Ba River are temporarily separated – like the angry moments of a boy and a girl who love each other, and then return to each other and blend together. , more intimately. I love all the rivers on this S-shaped strip of land. Because every river is beautiful, wonderful and dreamy. And because, every river has witnessed many heroes of the nation’s history. River Ba – of course – is no exception… Originating from small streams and creeks in the Kon Plong plateau, Kon Tum province with an altitude of 1,549m, the Ba River resembles the strong and proud men of Xe Dang and BarNah. Ba River – the most magnificent river of the Central Highlands – South Central. From the starting point, the Ba River winds on the plateaus of the northernmost Central Highlands in Kon Tum province, then flows down to Gia Lai, passing through the districts of Kbang, An Khe, Dak Po, Kong Chro, Ia Pa, Ayun Pa. Here, the river changes direction to enter Krong Pa district of Gia Lai province and then enters the territory of Phu Yen province in the west – east direction. At the end of the 374km journey, the Ba River merges with the big sea at Da Dien estuary (also known as Da Rang estuary), south of Tuy Hoa city. Peace by the river. Do not know since when, Ba River has been a sacred symbol of the residents living along the two banks. With a basin of 13,900km2, the Ba River is a gathering place, living for a long time of indigenous peoples such as De Trieng, Se Dang, J’rai, BahNar… to form cultural features from here. characteristics of the indigenous peoples. From the majestic waterfalls in the upstream to the bends, the smooth flows downhill carry a bold imprint of the culture of the inhabitants living here: They are immortal epics, epic and romantic chapters; those are beautiful love stories of boys and girls Ede, De Trieng, J’rai, BahNar…; it is the beautiful legend of the magical sword and the Fire King of the J’rai; There are also peaceful villages on both sides of which is a unique and huge cultural heritage with the soaring roofs of the Rong house, the silent statues of the tombs, the sound of gongs, and the la da. A glass of wine, with laziness around the sinuses… The Ba River plays a very important role in the lives of the indigenous people where it flows. With the gifts God has given her, Ba River has generously donated everything back to people. 2. I once had the opportunity to walk along this wonderful river, from upstream to downstream. Everywhere is beautiful. Everywhere wants to stop for a few days, to satisfy! But perhaps – for me, the most impressive point is still Ben Mong, the Red Valley in Ayun Pa town. Remember, a few decades ago, when there was no Ben Mong bridge connecting Ayun Pa with Ia Pa district, I used to come here. There is a boat, day and night, sun and rain, constantly and diligently taking guests across the river. I used to sit on that boat of Mr. Chau Sanh Ngoc (often called Mr. Sau Ngoc), about sixty years old that year. Once, he rowed a boat and took me from Ben Mong, down the Ba River to the Red Valley at the foot of To Na Pass – the demarcation between Ayun Pa town and Krong Pa district of Gia Lai province. That day was in the spring, the water was not big, just enough for the boat not to hit the rocks in the riverbed. The boat floats naturally on the gentle water, sometimes Mr. Sau Ngoc puts the rowing beam into the water, driving the boat from going to the shore. “Calling it Ben Mong is to distinguish it from Ben Mo on the left bank of the river, in Ia Pa district,” Mr. Sau Ngoc told me. He said: Ben Mo that day had a row of green fig trees. In summer, where is hot, but Ben Mo is always cool. Then one year the flood came, the fig tree line was eroded, drifting with the fierce water. Ben Mo has since remained only in memory… Soon came the Rose Valley. There are also other very romantic names such as Valley of Love, Valley of Purple Horizon… Before 1975, I didn’t know, but when I went down to Ben Mong with Mr. Sau Ngoc a few decades ago, the Red Valley was still relatively unspoiled with clusters of orchids on top of the old trees, reflecting down. clear water stream. And apricot forest – sometimes peeking in the groves is a forest apricot tree showing brilliant yellow color. According to Mr. Sau Ngoc, it is called the Valley of Love because the scenery here is beautiful and the climate is cool, so many couples often come here to love themselves. “But it is also associated with a very beautiful love story of the J’rai people here for a long time!”, Mr. Ngoc said. And the Pink Valley or Purple Horizon Valley is probably derived from the color change during the day, depending on the morning, noon or afternoon sunlight shining down on the water, and then reflecting on the riverside forest to have colors. colors at different times of the day. The river section in the Red Valley suddenly widens and the water turns blue. That day, Mr. Sau Ngoc brought a fishing net. The roof beams along the boat, he stood up, slightly shrunk his feet, then threw his hand into the river to catch the fish. The boat swayed slightly. The surface of the water where the fishing net was covered broke into rolling waves… That night, Mr. Sau Ngoc and I removed the fish from the fishing net, drank wine in the heart of the valley… Above the riverbank, Highway 25 still faithfully curves along the river, even though suddenly from the mountain, rushes to a hill to become To Na pass, connecting Ayun Pa with Krong Pa. And back then, the fish in the Red Valley was delicious. On occasion, I will talk about the fighting fish from the Ba Man River in An Khe, or the pelagic fish in the Red Valley at the foot of the To Na pass. Highway 25 is soft winding along the Ba river. 3. There was a chance that I went down road 25, along the Ba River, back to Tuy Hoa. Arriving in Phu Yen province, the Ba river changed its name to the Da Rang river bar – from the reading camp of the name Ea Drang – the ancient Cham language means “the laurel river”. Here, busy and peaceful villages are quietly nestled by the river. Near the big sea, the Ba River is also generous when bending, forming a large delta of over twenty thousand hectares, creating the largest Tuy Hoa field in the South Central. And yet, from the Dong Cam irrigation system, water from the Ba River is brought in, irrigating this vast rice field… … Every time I return to Tuy Hoa, I stay here for the night. I don’t stay at the hotel, but often stop by a small Homestay on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street. May Homestay – a gentle and cute name. Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street in the city center, a few minutes walk is standing in front of the sea. The night here is strangely quiet, so quiet that you can even hear someone’s light breath – outside, it’s like hearing the whispers of the Ba river – Da Rang river when returning to the sea…

1. The dishes are mainly cooked with fresh ingredients liệu Due to the natural conditions in the river delta, the abundant agricultural resources, the people of the West have a variety of dishes and ways of eating. With many ways of processing, from simple rustic to sophisticated, but most of the food is cooked from fresh food caught on the spot. 2.
