Only 90 hours, in the forest, a time to count quickly but cannot easily measure the nostalgia for the forests in the North of Tay Ninh bearing a name that sounds far away from the myths of Ruyon, Chang Riec, Lo. Go, Da Ha, Ta Xa, along with Tien Co streams, Cho streams, upstream of Vam Co Dong river, A Lan mountain, Ta Not grassland … Ho Chi Minh City writers delegation under an old coconut tree on the bank of the Vam Co Dong river during a practical trip to compose from April 14 to 17 Winding trails in the middle of the forest, moss in small patches of light in the sun filtered through the forest’s canopy like countless pieces of jade, the two sides of the road are entwined with flowers, the footsteps are a little hesitant at first. exploration, then a gentle and friendly feeling rushed to touch the stump of the old rice lentils, kerosene trees. The trees are silvery white, the trees are musty, the trees are rough, and every tree is soaring as going straight through the blue sky, making the canopy of leaves proudly on the forest space. The most poetic are the relatives of mistletoe, from dense ferns jostling for a noisy competition in the direction of sunlight, fragile and humble vines wrapped around the soft, idyllic root of the host, to the species of orchids that are tall and tall, they gather like a crowded population, for old trees to have friends, to support the loneliness of trees for hundreds of years, a few hundred years … Do not know if the time to enter the forest is the right time when the birds after lunch are full, gathered in the groves, singing together, forming a multi-level forest music concert. Sitting in the middle-ground thatched shack, the forest breeze ruffled through the trees, the forest leaves caught the wind like a thousand million cool fans, a little quiet, wandering to listen to the wild birds, the forest sometimes bustling like a harmony There are many voices, there is a holy voice that is sharp and arrogant, with a husky voice full of power but moderately, with a voice of challenge like scrambling, with a soft, gentle and gentle voice. And sometimes, the cicadas sing together, forming an enchanting forest symphony, hard to forget. 2. It was a bit of a surprise when I came to Lo Go-Xa Mat National Park which spreads in Tan Bien district of Tay Ninh province, 135 km from Ho Chi Minh City, surrounded by Vam Co Dong river in the West. Source from Cambodia, the part flowing into Vietnam is about 20 km long, river bed 10-20m wide, is the natural boundary between Vietnam – Cambodia. Take the boat upstream of Vam Co Dong river upstream According to statistics, the area of ​​Lo Go-Xa Mat National Park is 19,156 ha, the special-use forest accounts for 26% of the total natural forest cover of Tay Ninh province. The flora has 696 species and medicinal plants have 158 species, timber trees are 58 species, ornamental plants 21 species, food plants are 10 species, and vegetables are 7 species. Fauna system The number is up to 58 species of reptiles, 28 species of frogs, 88 species of fish, 128 species of insects, there are a number of rare species such as the black-shanked douc langur, Indochinese silver langur, small califers, bird fauna with the number of up to 203 species including many rare and precious water birds such as Giang Sen, Old Lady Java, Swallow Stork, Old Cavalry … When almost the surrounding areas of the forest are white, this place is like a paradise of nature with primeval forests, special-use forests, green to the eyes, green to the depths of green, the colors of rivers and streams, one color. The green forest is so beautiful .. Sitting on the boat along the water border, upstream of the Vam Co Dong river, looking at the banks are green streaks of flooded forest, arousing love like sweet honey with the forest, especially, On the Vietnamese side, there is an old Gaya forest, there are thousands of years old roots that are tangled, like knitting hooks deep in the river bed, the carpet of fallen leaves looks like hundreds of years of overlapping layers … And when I came here, sitting under the shade of Gua, lying on the leaf carpet, listening to stories about the battle to keep the land to keep the forest, feeling the love every inch of the land of the Fatherland was so choked … In the final hot sun In the dry season, walking in the forest canopies, following the trail of border patrol, listening to my heart is green and sweet, to calm my soul and spiritual feelings when I touch the national landmark 132-2, my eyes suddenly spicy … Border road in Chang Riec Lo Go-Xa Mat, where Ta Not grassland, gradually falls in the afternoon, and a trail of sunlight at the end of the day also runs slowly from the grassland to the other side of your country, on a 7-storey tower at an altitude of 33 m, in the vast wind, In the immense cloud of clouds, there are a few fluttering storks and storks to see a large frontier area, your side is the red and empty land, on this side you are the green forest flap, the green to the heart, I am worried about how to keep the green color sustainable … Heard, in the rainy season, wetlands and grasses, grass will make a beautiful green carpet, reflecting on the water surface will be soft shimmering grass branches. around, creating a shadow like a dream. 3. Hear the word “source”, “red address” stars like a sacred hard to describe. Crouched in the jungle, amidst the singing of a group of revolutionary songs accompanying the years, suddenly traveling through space and time back half a century ago, to hear echoes “ If you go out, you will preserve the mountains and rivers. If you leave, it is better to die. “ Not the first time coming here, but it seems that every time I step into the “R” battle zone, there is a strange excitement, like a rushing flow in my body, like a Liberation soldier marching out. Battle of the past … Bac Tay Ninh- “holy land” of the resistance war, in 15 years, from the fire of Dong Khoi 1960 to the day of reunification in 1975, the Central Department of the South has firmly stood in the primeval forest. back to many layers of trees covering Rung Duon and Chang Riec, in Tan Bien district, Tay Ninh province. This place marks the life and work in the years of the long and arduous resistance war of the eminent leaders of the Party, the State, our army and famous patriotic intellectuals who “leave the street. go to the forest “join the resistance war. The Central Base Bureau went down in history with the immortal nickname “R”. From “R”, the leaders of the revolution directed the creation of victory, from “Special War”, “Local War”, “War of Americanization and Vietnamization” to General Offensive and The Spring 1975 rebellion won all over, especially breaking the American Junction City from February 22 to May 14, 1967, hitting “R” directly. Ho Chi Minh City’s delegation visited the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam American generals on the battlefields of South Vietnam called “R” as “The White House and the Vietnamese Communist’s Pentagon in the middle of the jungle”. During the years 1965 – 1967, many international journalists and writers visited the legendary “R” base such as the Soviet Communist Party’s reporter of the Truth Report; Chinese Press – Photography – Television delegation; Australian journalist – Wilfred Graham Burchett; journalist of the French Communist Party’s Humanitarian Newspaper – Madeleine Riffaud; Polish writer-journalist – Monika Warnenska; Korean press delegation; Cuban press delegation … After returning home, they wrote many books and flaming reports on the Vietnam battlefield, contributing to the voice of international peace-loving friends supporting the Vietnamese people. Resistance against American imperialism. The forests here are also associated with the names of many leaders who have entered the history of the war against the US to save the country of the Vietnamese army and people. Suoi Nhung and Linh stream are associated with Secretary of the Party Committee, Secretary of the Central Department Nguyen Van Linh; May stream and Dat mountain associated with General Nguyen Chi Thanh; streams Tien Co, Ruch Don, Chang Riec associated with Central Secretary of the Department Pham Hung; Cho stream, Trang A Lan in association with lawyer Nguyen Huu Tho, architect Huynh Tan Phat … In the afternoon, the forest was pale in the morning, beside the Cho stream in the dry season, in the shade of green leaves to the bottom of the water, the slick moss-covered rocks were known to be the “fairy bathing” wharf of female soldiers in ” R “, suddenly heard in the wind the sound of girls laughing in the forest, suddenly choked when listening to the story of female martyr Huynh Lan Khanh, the third daughter of architect Huynh Tan Phat, sacrificed him. dung here … There was a moment in the midday sun, when we got here, the whole forest suddenly became strangely quiet, not knowing if the spirit of 14,000 martyrs died in the war against the US, the war to protect the southwest border and on international missions in Cambodia, including nearly 700 martyrs who are from Hanoi, located on hill 82 of the “R” war zone hiding this place? Writing us, writers, reminding them not to be forgotten on our pages. 4. The dawn of the forest after the rain was clear to sweet, only the birds singing hello to the sun were shining on the tops of the trees, sometimes a few mischievous hours of raindrops deposited on the leaves on the dry leaves … Suddenly remember also the month Tu, when interviewing a former Liberation Army-writer for an article titled “The Longest Day of War” on April 30, he mentioned the forest: “ Hearing the news that we had flagged a flag on the Independence Palace, I and my brothers and sisters in R quietly went to the forest, each one sitting and crying. Crying for joy, crying because of loving comrades who died. That night, there was a lot of gunshots, but not gunshots of death, but like calling out to swarms of good news to each other … ‘. Tho hill station for a time, across the river is Cambodia’s friend country And in me are many feelings, even though it is not the first time to come to this forest, but each time goodbye, I still feel indebted to the pages written about this place, indebted to the martyrs, those who lie. in the middle of the forest in the southwestern part of the country. Tay Ninh- Ho Chi Minh City (April 2021)

Participants in the “Deep Time” study emerged from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. After 40 days of voluntary isolation, on April 24, a group of volunteers consisting of 15 people participating in a scientific experiment called Deep Time came out of the vast Lombrives cave in southwestern France. They consisted of eight men and seven women living in the deep, dark and wet caves to help researchers understand how humans adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. They have no watches, no sunlight, and have no contact with the outside world. With bright smiles on their pale faces, 15 volunteers left the Lombrives cave in cheering applause. They must wear special glasses to protect their eyes after long periods of time in the dark. When returning to the ground, all the volunteers wore special glasses to avoid shock to the light. Photo: AP. Marina Lancon, 33, one of seven female members in the test, said: “This is like being pressed on an emergency pause button.” Ms. Marina still wanted to be able to stay in the cave for a few more days, but she also said she was happy to see the wind blowing in her face again and to hear birds singing in the trees in the French Pyréneés. And she said, in a few days she has no plans to reopen her smartphone to hope to avoid a “too brutal” return to real life. The group of volunteers began to return from the ground. Photo: AP. For 40 days and nights, the team lived and explored the caves as part of the Deep Time project. There is no sunlight inside, the temperature is 10 degrees C and the relative humidity is 100 percent. The cave dwellers had no contact with the outside world, had no pandemic updates, nor any contact information with friends or family. Scientists at the Human Adaptation Institute leading the 1.2 million euros ($ 1.5 million) “Deep Time” project, said this experiment will help them better understand how people adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. Because they don’t have a clock, team members keep an eye on their circadian clock to know when to wake up, go to bed, and eat. They count their days not by hours, but by their sleep cycle. Therefore, Project Director, Mr. Christian Clot was surprised that the time in the cave was over: “We think it’s only been 30 days.” The estimate of one team member is only 23 days. Members participating in the Deep Time project study speak during the press conference after returning from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. Working with laboratories in France and Switzerland, the scientists tracked the 15 members’ sleep patterns, social interactions, and behavioral responses via sensors. This sensor is designed as a small thermometer inside a capsule that participants swallow like a pill. It measures body temperature and transmits data to a computer until it is naturally cleared out. On April 23, the scientists told the study subjects they would be out soon. After the 40-day challenge, 2/3 of the group still wished to stay in the cave for a little more time. Photo: AP. On April 24, when they were released from the cave, although the participants looked tired, two-thirds of the participants expressed a wish to stay underground a little longer to complete group projects. At the beginning of the expedition, said Benoit Mauvieux, a biologist involved in the study. “Our future as humans on this planet will flourish,” said Clot after exiting the cave. “We have to learn to better understand how our brains are able to find new solutions, in any situation.”

Farm operators say animal welfare is guaranteed when salmon are kept in shallow pools as they are swimming in artificial water. Photo: Smart Studio. In the row of indoor swimming pools there, 5 million adult salmon were swimming passionately away from their home town. pass cold water fish to a hot area This is a Atlantic salmon species, famous for cold water in Norwegian fjords or in cold water lakes in Scotland. They are not native to hot and warm Florida, so in order to cope with the completely different weather where they were born and the ideal environment to grow, the aquarium is cooled, housed in a large building. cold and of course very good insulation. The building is named the Green House, which has just come into operation in phase 1 since last year. When completed, it will be the largest salmon farm in the world. The investor is the Atlantic Sapphire Company, said the current output of the farm is 9,500 tons / year, and when the farm is operating at full designed capacity – it is expected that by 2031, the output will increase to 222,000 tons. If so, about 41% of the American’s salmon demand each year, or 1 serving serving, would be supplied domestically. Atlantic Sapphire is currently one of the pioneers of the trend of investing in terrestrial and indoor aquaculture. The company is headquartered in Norway. “When we came up with this idea 10 years ago, a lot of people were talking so crazy,” said Johan Andreassen – CEO of the company. “At that time, no one believed that bringing cold-water salmon to terrestrial farming could or was financially viable. The advancement of technology dispelled their doubts. Johan Andreassen introduces salmon farmed in Green House. Photo: Atlantic Sapphire. According to Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire has proven successful in technology, now only dealing with financial viability and how scalable it can be effectively scaled. Salmon farming in shallow tanks – Pioneering technology New technologies equipped for the Green House to operate are not unfamiliar, but the investment rate to ensure profitability has only been achieved in recent years. The building is equipped with a recirculating aquaculture system called RAS, controlled from data on temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen level, flow, and light in the water. The tank also has an automatic mechanism that removes CO2 and waste and water into a filter for treatment and reuse. Raised in a closed process, salmon is immune to diseases and parasites found in the natural environment, so Atlantic Sapphire does not need antibiotics or other drugs. “Compared to marine farms, we guarantee fewer incidents of disease, the death rate is also among the lowest,” said Neder Snir, chief technician of AquaMaof in Israel. This is the company that provides technology for Atlantic Sapphire and about 10 other businesses around the world. “We ensure farmers do not need vaccines or antibiotics. This technology ensures disease isolation and control of the farming environment ”. Atlantic Sapphire has invested $ 400 million into their US facility in a total of $ 2 billion in funding plans. By 2031, they expect to own a 372,000 square meter aquarium on the 65-hectare project area. Why is it America? A Norwegian company that invests in large farms in Florida raises the question of purpose, especially when the culture is in doubt or does not guarantee the welfare of the chosen fish. According to the Atlantic Sapphire, they ensure a closer supply to the US market instead of bringing fish from Europe to by plane, in addition to taking advantage of the natural conditions endemic to the southern state. Florida sits atop two layers of water – one is the surface freshwater layer, the other is the lower saltwater aquifer. Trout need a freshwater environment in the early stages of growth, larger than they need salt water. In the Green House, the technology system ensures these two water sources. Here, wastewater is pumped into deep underground rock under the salty water layer separated from useful aquifers, so it does not pollute the area’s common water source (only at a very small rate compared to the government’s regulations. ). The salmon tank area at the Green House by technology of AquaMaof. Photo: AquaMaof. According to Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire’s choices were even more valuable when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. The supply chain right in the US enables customers to traceability and create confidence in the end product without having to go through many stages of virus infection. Also, the transport stage is not congested when the cost of the road increases dramatically due to the impact of the epidemic. Atlantic Sapphire salmon has become familiar with American consumers. Last year, the brand “Green House Salmon was sold for 12 USD / kg, 2 times higher than imported Norwegian wild salmon. Would that worry salmon farmers and exporters in Nauuy and Scotland? Ragnar Tveteras – Professor of Commerce at Stavanger University (Norway) explains in a detour: “I think there is a challenge of using energy, about CO2 emissions, but I still do not have enough data. Demand (farmed fish) does not bother me too much, it is important that the price will probably go up ”. And Alan Tinch, technical head of the fishing services firm Benchmark Genetics in Scotland, predicts a change from Scottish farmers to adapt. “Maybe they will transfer the fry to an indoor farm, when healthy, they will be brought back to the natural marine environment. The wild fish still has its quality and location ”. The Green House project is not really smooth, even though it is advertised as a pioneer in technology. In July 2020, a water quality incident forced the company to harvest 200,000 salmon early before they were 20 months old. In March this year, fish also died abnormally and at the beginning of April there was a gas leak incident causing 3 workers to be hospitalized. Animal Rights Protection PETA criticizes the Green House project and about 40 other businesses developing terrestrial aquaculture farms, including a planned seabass farming project in Arizona. “Fish can feel, think, can know pain or joy, they belong to themselves, not people,” said Dawn Carr, Project Director of (food) vegetarian PETA said. “This fish farming is cruel.” But Director Johan Andreassen argues that the criteria for animal welfare, at the Green House, are fin shape and swimming speed, which is continuously and fully controlled by the company.

Strengthen force for hot spots On the An Giang border line about 100 km long, the Long Binh Border Gate area (An Phu district) managed by Long Binh Border Guard Station is a hot spot for illegal entry. Because this section of the border crossing this border gate is adjacent to the river, people living along the two river banks can cross at any time. Meanwhile, on the other side of the border, there are many casino hotels, attracting a large number of players, so there is a high risk of spreading the disease if these people deliberately flee to Vietnam. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hoai Linh, Politician of the Long Binh Border Guard Fort, said the unit manages more than 15 km of the border crossing 2 communes of Khanh An, Khanh Binh and Long Binh town of An Phu district. Currently, the unit has set up 20 groups and posts along the border to both prevent the Covid-19 epidemic and prevent people entering illegally and smuggling. “Due to the specificity of the locality having a border on the river, the patrol and control work has many difficulties, the ships are parked close to each other, obscuring the view. Particularly more than 4 km on the road, the houses and gardens. Densely planted fruit trees also create opportunities for subjects to take advantage of the night to illegally enter or hide. raft back and forth, as well as tightening open paths to prevent anyone from crossing the border illegally “- Colonel Linh said. Soldiers at the Border Guard at Long Binh border gate with local militia patrolling and controlling the border area Photo: THOTOT Receiving us at the border area of ​​Tan Chau town (An Giang province), Senior Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Van Dang, Politician of Vinh Xuong International Border Guard Station, said that this post manages the upper border line 2, 2 km, of which about 700 m is river way. On this route, in the landmark 241 area, there are 68 households living, if you do not watch carefully, it will be easy for people and people to escape and enter. Therefore, from 10 fixed posts, now on the whole route increased to 13 posts, along with 4 teams to control the flow on the river. According to the leader of Vinh Xuong International Border Guard Station, the unit has just been strengthened over 30 border guards from the provinces of Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Soc Trang, Phu Yen, Hai Phong. With the newly strengthened army, the unit has more than 90 soldiers, along with about 40 officers and soldiers of the police and militia participating at the posts. Not subjective, neglect According to the Dong Thap Border Guard Command, in the past week, the unit discovered 12 cases of illegal entry, 17 cases of entry without proper procedures. In addition to handling administrative violations, these cases were put into central isolation in accordance with regulations. Mr. Doan Tan Buu, Vice Chairman of Dong Thap Provincial People’s Committee, affirmed that the province continues to concentrate all resources, tighten control, manage the border area, ready to respond to any situation. At the same time, direct the units to absolutely not be subjective and neglectful in Covid-19 epidemic prevention, especially while the epidemic is complicated, the risk of pathogens entering from the border area. very high. In recent days, border forces stationed in Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province have prevented dozens of illegal immigration and immigration by sea, quarantined hundreds of people, prosecuted and arrested many people. head statue. All persons who entered and entered illegally admitted that the outbreak of Covid-19 in Cambodia should try to return home to escape the epidemic. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Su Vinh Thong, Commander of the Command Board of the Border Guard at Duong Dong Port (Phu Quoc City), emphasized his determination to control illegal immigration. The commanding board regularly surveyed key positions, increased patrol and control 24/24, encouraged patrol forces so that the soldiers would raise their guard, especially at night … At the same time, coordinated with the authorities in the city to thoroughly handle suspect objects when entering and leaving illegally in Phu Quoc City. Facing the complicated situation of illegal entry, potentially high risks of epidemics entering our country, the People’s Committee of Phu Quoc City directed the People’s Committees of communes and wards in the city to coordinate with the police and the army. border line of propaganda for prevention of epidemic Covid-19. When people discover a suspicious person entering Phu Quoc, they immediately report to the authorities to promptly prevent, quarantine, and avoid spreading Covid-19 in the community, especially on the occasion of the 30th- 4 and 1-5 to come. 33,000 households committed Colonel Nguyen Thuong Le, Commander of the An Giang Border Guard, said that the current situation of Covid-19 in Cambodia is complicated, so many Cambodian overseas Vietnamese are trying to return to Vietnam. Therefore, the Provincial Border Guard Command considers the prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic a key political and urgent task. The key to preventing epidemics from entering across borders is to detect, prevent and prevent illegal entry and exit. In addition to not assisting and transporting people in Cambodia or illegally returning from epidemic areas, people in border areas should not voluntarily cross the border without permission of the competent authority. Currently, more than 33,000 households living along the border line across the province have signed commitments to take measures to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, as well as not to violate the law on illegal immigration and other crimes. offense.

Editor’s note: Four days after coming to Mangbang Village, the travel editor sang and sang discovered the secret contract between the local villagers and the trees. There is a hot spring of 50℃ gushing out from the banyan tree here. Every time of the day, locals wearing ethnic costumes come here to get into the tree hole and enjoy the natural welfare. The tree is the local nourishment and a kind of spiritual sustenance.

A week ago, I could only smell the office desks and chairs. As a travel magazine editor, after working overtime in the city for two consecutive weeks, I decided to hide in a place with trees.

It was a village in Dehong, Yunnan, named Mang Bang, and 40 kilometers away was Myanmar. The Dai, Jingpo, Han and Burmese people live here. The most lively place in the village is not the market, but under a big banyan tree over 200 years old.

Mixed gender bath, the tree is a natural sauna

Li Sanshu (pseudonym) is a friend I met at the dinner table, a well-known middle-aged bachelor in the local area, 40 years old this year. His father died in February, and Li Sanshu returned to his hometown from Fujian for the funeral. More than a month later, the temperature rose from ten degrees to twenty degrees, the watermelon had matured, and the Songkran Festival was approaching. Sanshu Li still did not return to Fujian to work.

One of the reasons for not going back is that the busy farming has intensified. Mangbang Village is a plantation village, and every household has more than 10 acres of land. Corn and watermelon are summer crops. In autumn, the local rice planting began to grow. This is the tribute rice of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It is now sold all over the country. It is a good season to sell watermelons. Myanmar watermelons are usually cheaper, but they cannot be imported this year. Domestically produced melons are in demand, and the villagers are busier than in previous years.

Another reason is hot springs. During the days in his hometown, Li Sanshu usually sweats profusely in the watermelon field in the morning. In the afternoon, he pushes cups and switches at the wedding of his relatives. There is no doubt that the last item is the most comfortable moment of Li Sanshu’s day. There, he could meet acquaintances in half of the village. After a hard day’s hard work, three or five groups of relatives and friends came to the tree cave hot spring to bathe, which is a living habit that Li Sanshu’s ancestors have kept for generations.

The water flows out from under the roots of the banyan tree at the right flow rate. The pool water stained with soap bubbles will “purify” every few minutes, and the people bathing next to it will not be affected much. One meter away, there is another rectangular pool, and the temperature at night is low. When he wanted to be alone, Sanshu Li would also go to the pool to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Villagers bathing in hot springs

Probably because of being soaked in water, the root system of this banyan tree is particularly developed. Some leaks are embedded tightly in the ground, and some are deeply rooted in the ground. They are mysteriously hidden in tree holes. Only fearless people can get a glimpse of the true face.

The tree hole is dark and deep, and can accommodate up to 12 people at the same time. The longest “journey” is to walk more than 20 meters in the hole. Calculated by the distance on the ground, you can cross the road to the farmland. There are also a lot of tree caves. A cave opening leads to more than 20 choices. The locals advise those tourists who have no sense of direction not to explore it lightly.

The locals who are familiar with the road will put their hands on the washbasin, then bury their heads in the water and take a sigh of relief, and then go in with the floating washbasin, but they will not swim too far, and will go from another tree hole in a moment. Popped up. I plucked up the courage to swim in, marveling at the unexpected rewards of nature. The thick roots above the head, the twists and turns, and the clearer spring water in the depths. It suddenly dawned on me: The world in the tree hole is not terror, but awe. Being in it is like being in a natural sauna room to wash away the tiredness of a day of farming.

Villagers use hot spring circulating water shower

Rectangular pool

Different from the restrained and politeness of modern urbanites, the people in Mangbang Village follow the natural and primitive ecology-the tree cave hot spring is a natural place for men and women to bathe together. Although this scene really scared me when I first arrived, for the local villagers, it is natural for the local villagers to rub their backs with each other, and for women to use a long cylindrical cloth as a simple cover to change their clothes in full view. It’s everyday.

Feed your stomach and spirit, the tree is nourishment

Village and town buses drove all the way from Zhefang Town to Mangbang Village, just like being in a subtropical botanical garden. There are many tropical trees on the border between China and Myanmar, and trees are an indispensable natural resource in people’s lives. The leaves of the banana tree can wrap various ingredients to make a variety of sweet, salty, spicy and sour snacks. The latex secreted by the rubber tree can be used to make high-end furniture, fiberboard, plywood, paper pulp, etc., supporting part of the industry here. In addition, there are coconut trees, mango trees, papaya trees, banana trees and other tropical fruits that are the main match for summer desserts.

People who have lived here for generations are grateful for the rich resources that trees bring to them, and therefore extend their spiritual worship and religious beliefs towards trees. “A peacock flew on the dragon tree”, this is the chant of the Dai song “A Beautiful Place”. In fact, in the many artistic works of the Dai people, such as ballads, dances, and poems, trees are regarded as sacred symbols. Especially the luxuriant, older, old trees are worshipped as sacred trees.

At the other end of the village, the newlyweds will take wedding photos under a big banyan tree to pray for happiness from the tree god. The other two big banyan trees next to the hot spring are used for offering sacrifices to the villagers.

As for the big banyan tree in the hot spring, there are two amulets of Southern Buddhism hung by the operator in 2006. Qu Wu, who was nearly 60 years old, often went to worship the tree god. He runs a Dai bamboo-style small shop next to the hot spring. Qu Wu’s father was an educated youth of the Han nationality who came from Baoshan, 200 kilometers away. This is also the reason why most Han people in Dehong come here. Before that, the Dai and Jingpo ethnic groups accounted for the majority. Qu Wu went out and wandered when he was young, and when he was old, he chose to return to Mangbang Village to “guard the hot springs here.” Qu Wu’s son was born in 1992, and his life trajectory overlapped with his father several times. “Before, I never stayed at home, but now I don’t want to go out with children.” He felt that this kind of life development is the rule of nature and the arrangement of fate.

Qu Wu sat on the steps down to the hot spring,

The Jingpo aunt, who is responsible for cleaning and collecting sanitation fees in the hot springs, is a villager from a nearby village. She also has experience of working in big cities. In the past, in order to make more money, she ran away again and again, and finally chose to return to the hot spring as a companion.

They also said it’s not good to ask about the reason, but whether it’s spiritual belief, or that it’s far from the hustle and bustle and close to the psychological healing given by nature. In short, what keeps them is the way of life represented by the tree cave hot springs. Spiritual baptism.

In self-sufficient villages, there are also worries of the times

“Old irons give me a thumbs up, and I will take you to the tree hole in a while.” Kuaishou anchor Pang Ge (pseudonym) from Jiangxi earned 1,400 yuan a morning by introducing Shudong Hot Spring to people. Someone suggested that if you zoom in to take photos of those women who are exposed to clothing, give a big gift to the fat guy. Fat brother refused with a joke: “It’s all old moms, what’s there to see”.

Fat brother’s live broadcast was too loud, and was disgusted by a local old mother. Fortunately, the flow of Kuaishou Douyin has not spread here. For the local villagers, such disturbances are still tolerable. However, the pace of modernization and commercialization has never stopped, and the villagers always have hidden worries.

The operator is a grandmother of the De’ang ethnic group, and there are very few people in the local area.

Nowadays, the dress and living habits are close to the assimilation of the Dai people

Decades ago, three local villagers contracted the hot springs and operated them independently. They helped to improve some of the bathing conditions. There was no one to manage before, and the sanitary conditions of the hot springs are indeed worrying. For example, the original villagers took the cattle from the farmland to bathe here, and the rectangular pool was full of silt. There is always mud falling in the pond under the tree hole. After pebbles are placed around the pond, the spring water remains clear all the year round.

In recent years, real estate developers from other places have taken a fancy to this piece of cake and want to buy out the ownership here, but they have been collectively boycotted by the local villagers. But according to Li Jiuchang, the nephew of the contracting villager, the land was sold to others in 2019 and the three contractors have already signed the contract. This time the resistance of the villagers was not as fierce as usual. Because the blueprint for commercialization is based on the development of tourism in Lijiang, it not only delimits the hot springs, but also covers 300 acres of land nearby, and the land occupied is promised to give villagers compensation. After a long negotiation, each household finally signed the contract. At that time, tickets will rise, and the tranquility that belongs to them will also be destroyed. But fortunately, the current developer’s funding chain is broken, and this land has not been developed for a long time. However, the villagers are still worried that the future investment promotion will come in droves. “Within five years, this place will be greatly changed,” Li Jiuchang predicted.

Toll office, three yuan tickets, called “Sanitation Fees”

As the times change, other changes in Shudong Hot Spring are quietly taking place. The 22-year-old Li Jiuchang looks exactly like a Burmese. When he was young, he went to Shandong with his stepfather and returned to his hometown of Mangbang at the age of 14. It was 2013, and he still remembered that when he first came to Shudong Hot Spring, “there were so many people like going to the market”. Similar scenes are rarely seen now. The reason may be the loss of village population and the popularization of modern water heaters.

Li Jiuchang and Uncle

An uncle of the Dai nationality who lives in the village next door, who comes every two days, also feels that the current Shudong Hot Spring is not as good as before. When he was young, whenever he had a cold or a fever, his parents would take him to the hot spring bath. “Come here for a soak, it’s more useful than an injection and medicine.” What the uncle said is true. The medical interpretation of the so-called “hot spring therapy” is natural sulfur water, the minerals in it can stimulate the immune system, and most of the chemical substances remain on the skin after bathing, which can also treat some skin diseases. But in terms of feeling, the uncle still feels that he can no longer find the “freshness” of the past. He guessed that it might be the cause of the water quality. “I watched TV and said that climate warming may have something to do with this.”

Village street

But why did he feel this way, the uncle does not know, but he no longer associates the improvement of his physical condition with the Shudong Hot Spring. As for the appearance of the hot springs when he was a child, he gradually blurred in his mind. He wanted to recall those scenes several times, but he said some fragments that were difficult to put together.

“These pasts are like a moment,” he finally said helplessly. It seems that those who have been connected to the hot springs for a lifetime are also disappearing day by day, and the first memories of the hot springs are also erased from the world.

Reaching off the epidemic season

Tens of thousands of ships along the coast of Vietnam are still stretching day and night to exploit seafood in traditional fishing grounds. The fishermen who go out to sea to stick to the sea not only make a living but also make living milestones, affirming the sovereignty over the sacred islands of the country.

At 5:00 a.m. on the first day of March, 2021, from Nam Du fishing port (An Son island commune, Kien Hai district, Kien Giang province), captain Le Quang Anh’s ship (Hai Anh) pulled anchors out to sea, heading straight to the fisherman. Ca Mau school – Kien Giang. This is considered one of the largest fishing grounds in our country because this area has currents carrying many plankton, along with a rich and abundant source of seafood. At the same time, this area also has a shallow continental shelf, many estuaries and tidal flats that are favorable for fishing.

The achievement of the sea after the tough nets.

On this trip, Mr. Hai Anh’s boat used ruffled nets. This form of fishing makes little disturbance to the benthic biota. Catched products are aquatic species with high economic value such as mackerel, tuna, herring … After 3 hours of breaking and reaching the sea, the boat has reached the traditional fishing ground and began to float the nets. Waiting time to pull the first batch of fish takes 4-6 hours. Captain Hai Anh and the crew on the boat took advantage of the nets to take a nap at night.

Seafaring in the South season is relatively mild, the wind is gentle, but thunderstorms are always sudden. Therefore, even though it is a “gentle” sea, the danger is unpredictable.

For nearly 2 years, the COVID-19 epidemic has been raging, affecting seriously consumption volume and price. Hai Anh ship’s seafood specializes in supplying 3 large restaurants in Phu Quoc. Influence of the disease, few tourists, and the restaurant was in a bad state, it forced prices down very low. There was a return sea trip, the price hit the bottom but the restaurant still could not consume it, the rest Hai Anh had to bring the termites to the fish sauce company at the “afternoon market” price.

The master “hears the fish”

Nguyen Xuan Thang (Tu Thang, 45 years old) has been a fisherman since the time his hair was still cropped, over 30 years up to now. Mr. Thang is a good “listening fish” hand that any ship wants to pull him away. After a sea trip of more than 20 days from Hai Anh ship, Mr. Tu Thang just returned home to throw the children fresh fish from the sea, took a few more clothes, then rushed to the dock to board the captain’s boat to scratch. Year of Singing. This time the rafting ship is expected to stay at sea for 30 days to return to shore, with crew of 8 people on board. The number of rake net is too small, the ship should have 3 more excellent fishermen, but they are stuck at Truong Sa fishing ground in Khanh Hoa sea.

Sewing nets, arranging nets to prepare for a night of fish hunting.

Scratching rake (also known as drag net) is a key fishing method of the fishery. The output of aquatic products caught by the drag net is estimated at over 50% of the total production. The fishing trawl fishery lives in the bottom layer, the seabed is relatively flat, the depth is usually 20-100m. The most important step of pounding depends on your ability to guess the flow of the fish. This is based entirely on a “listening to fish” player like Tu Thang.

The first quality of a person who “listens to fish” is to swim well and dive like a fish. With these two abilities, Tu Thang has been a “valedictorian” since the age of 20. On this voyage, Tu Thang’s boat prioritizes grouper and squid fishing. Grouper is known as a rare and high-priced seafood species. To hunt grouper flow, Tu Thang first had to dive into the sea, to find coral reefs and caves to explore. The grouper is an aggressive and very clever species, so it is difficult for humans to approach even from a distance.

Instead of looking directly at the flow of fish, Tu Thang will check the food carcasses of the fish left on the seabed and the smoothness of the rock cavities. Wherever the reef is cloudy, there is a lot of flora and small animals, there are grouper. Then, the diver pressed his ears to the rock niches to hear the water flowing around him. If the water is gurgling, then there must be grouper flocks around.

These signs, only experienced fish listeners like Tu Thang can feel. After correctly determining the flow of fish, the rake net will surround and sweep. The grouper, no matter how cunning and cunning, are still caught by “fangs” of pounding.

Mr. Tu prepares for the diving phase to find fish.

After each batch of grouper, the rake net is greatly torn by the sharp teeth and puncture of the fish’s fins. The mesh stitching takes a lot of time, requires meticulousness and patience. When night fell, all the sailors on board began to scratch the bottom floor squid. Like that, they worked until dawn the next day.

Every half a month, cargo ships will go to the fishing grounds to buy seafood. Trading on the sea is not like any other market, because both sellers and traders are fishermen for a long time, they understand the sea too well. They did not pay the price, what the price was, the seller just smiled and happily transferred the fish to the ship. The fish shipments are full, the ship is ready to donate to the collectors a few kilograms each, on the contrary, every time a failure, the boat buys happily “tip” more money tea.

After each transaction, the crew on the ship is immediately divided the remuneration. Their work is calculated according to the output in the form of “let’s eat together, lose together”. They can send money to buy to bring home or keep with them, have the opportunity to visit the island to refuel or shelter from storms will use the money to spend ashore.

The sea still sings the song on the waves

In recent years, the Kien Giang – Ca Mau fishing ground has been “poor” gradually. The fishing boats are more and more, so there is competition for channels and fishing grounds. The income of the sailors decreased gradually, so they went to search for a new land. Part of life is about life, but much of it wants to freely waving around in the vast sea and sky of the country.

Truong Sa, ever since has become a call of love tightly squeezed into the heart of every fisherman. Mr. Tu Thang said that at the beginning of 2021, he also had a trip to Truong Sa with his colleagues in the fishing village of Bich Dam (Khanh Hoa).

The trip in the fish-up season (the fish species migrating in the Southern waters began moving to the North), although hard and high-risk, made Mr. Tu Thang more excited. Because, the ship’s captain is the benefactor who saved his life 11 years ago in Truong Sa, when his ship crashed at sea. Remembering that night, Mr. Thang still choked. In those days, the boats went to the net, the fishing tools were rudimentary, but not modernly improved as now. The sea in June is relatively peaceful, on the mainland it is in the hot summer season, so no one thinks the night sea is windswept, such a terrible tornado.

The small ship is still standing in front of the ocean winds.

The ship was swept directly by a tornado, in a split second the deck burst into many pieces, the river-lamp fell into the sea, the side of the ship burst out, water flooded into the compartment. Only about 5 minutes, the ship rolled and turned upside down. Six sailors hugged plastic cans, tires plunged into the dark one-color sea. The cry for help faded away, weakened, then only the very light breathing of the exhausted people remained. Luckily Tu Thang was able to hold the tire, then he was too tired to fit into a small circle, trying to hold his arms and legs. The other brothers, holding onto plastic cans that could not stand the wind, let go of their hands, then sank into the seabed.

After eight famous floating uncertainties in the middle of the sea, at the dawn of the next day, Mr. Thang was now exhausted, and suddenly felt a strong hand grasp his body. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a warm blanket on a dry cabin, and turning his head sideways to find a familiar colleague on board the old train. Mr. Thang hugged you and cried.

So only 2 people were saved during that fateful trip. Returning to the shore, Tu Thang was taken care of by the family of captain Le Tan Cuong until the day he was well.

Tu Thang wanted to accept Captain Cuong as his brother, but Mr. Cuong just laughed, saying that Vietnamese fishermen from all ages are brothers and sisters. Mr. Cuong told Tu Thang not to be too fussy about the past, but to stick to the sea, love the sea and ready to help anyone in distress at sea. Because of that teaching, the love of the sea in Tu Thang’s heart is always deep, and in hardship remains intact.

Because of the deep love, but only Captain Cuong called out an hour, Mr. Thang was ready to go, leaving without a moment of hesitation. A year, Mr. Thang goes to Truong Sa beach at least 1 trip, each year at most 5 trips. The rest of the time, he returned to his hometown in Kien Giang, following a friend’s ship here and there, wandering in the sea.

The seafarers live by the pride and dignity of the man. Human love at sea is no longer a matter of debate. Because of that, many fishermen with heavy debt cannot leave the sea. Captain Nam Hat, despite turning 60 years old with nearly 50 years of fighting the ocean, is still firmly on the steering wheel before many seasons of rough seas. All his life, Mr. Nam Hat traveled throughout the seas from Hoang Sa, Truong Sa to the Southwest. Many times life was fragile in front of the ship, due to natural disasters and human ears, but he never wavered. To him, if he had to die on the sacred sea and sky of the Fatherland, he still stubbornly accepted it.

Sitting in a post in the hot sun of the border area, pointing to the area bordering Go Ta Mao market (Cambodia), Major Nguyen Truong Phong, Head of the Vinh Ngon Border Guard Station (Chau Doc City, An Giang Province ), saying that all crossroads between the two countries are being tightened.

Patrol 24/24 hours

Major Phong said: “In this area, everywhere can go easily, so the patrol and control work met many difficulties, especially at night. However, we have determined that. and maintain the spirit of “anti-epidemic like anti-enemy.” In order to fulfill their tasks, cadres and soldiers must persevere, strengthen patrols, control and prevent illegal entry and exit to contribute. share the same locality as the whole country in the prevention of Covid-19 epidemic in border areas “.

Colonel Nguyen Thuong Le, Commander of the Border Guard (CPBP) of An Giang province, said that this province has a border of nearly 100 km long bordering Cambodia. To keep diseases from crossing the border, the key is to strengthen controls.

Also according to Colonel Nguyen Thuong Le, the propaganda for the people is very important. That is to mobilize people to raise their vigilance, when detecting strangers or returning from epidemic areas, immediately notify the village chiefs (the hamlets), health workers, local authorities and border posts room. Absolutely not assist or pick up people in Cambodia or people from the epidemic zones to return illegally. The units have organized to mobilize people to sign commitments to take measures against Covid-19 epidemic, illegal immigration and criminal acts with more than 33,000 households participating.

“At present, border posts are coordinating with forces to strictly monitor and control at border gates, trails, shortcuts, roads and waterways. In addition to 8 border checkpoints and checkpoints. Fixed border guard, the unit deployed 187 Covid-19 anti-epidemic posts; at the same time, implementing strict border control and blocking, assigned 24/24 continuous patrol “- Colonel Le more information.

Determined to handle violations

From the beginning of the year until now, Long An Provincial CPO has discovered and arrested 109 people who entered and entered illegally across the border. In addition, it also sanctioned administrative violations of 84 subjects, handed over to Cambodia 1 case with 5 subjects who illegally entered Vietnam. The People’s Committee of Long An province also instructed the Provincial People’s Committee to encourage cadres and soldiers to define clearly roles and responsibilities, overcome all difficulties, determined to protect the border and prevent Covid-19 epidemic in the new situation.

In order to improve the effectiveness of Covid-19 epidemic prevention, Dong Thap Provincial Command of the Border Guard has strengthened coordination with Cambodian border protection forces. In particular, strengthening the exchange of coordinated situation of patrol, control, handling and prevention of illegal entry and exit. In addition, support the Cambodian armed forces with medical supplies, essentials, masks, and antibacterial hand sanitizers …

According to Doan Tan Buu, Vice Chairman of Dong Thap Provincial People’s Committee, the province has 8 communes bordering Cambodia. Thanks to the careful guard of the provincial functional forces, illegal entry has been minimized. “However, to prevent epidemics effectively, apart from the efforts of the CPO and strengthening forces, it is very necessary to have the support of border people. When you see strangers coming to the locality, immediately call the forces. function, it is very valuable information “- Mr. Buu said.

Bilateral patrol

Colonel Nguyen The Anh, Commander of the Kien Giang Provincial Border Guard, said before the illegal entry and exit continued to take place, causing unsecurity and order in the border area, from the beginning of the year until now, the provincial CPO has implemented. many bilateral patrols with Cambodian functional forces. In the spirit of complying with the regulations on epidemic prevention of the Ministry of Health, the patrols took place safely, the two sides worked together to solve many emerging issues in border areas and sea areas.

Tanna Island in the Republic of Vanuatu (southwest Pacific) is inhabited by a nude tribe that worship Prince Philip as god. For that reason, when he heard that the Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99, the people of the tribe were deeply distressed. They decided to hold a funeral for their deceased god for 100 days.

The people of Tanna Island worship Prince Philip like god.

For the next 100 days, people gathered in an empty lot under the old banyan tree to calm down and drink kava (a mildly scented drink made from pepper tree roots) and eat local dishes, including food. pig wrapped in banana leaves cooked in the ground. This is a mandatory part of important tribal rituals.

The nude tribe held Prince Philip’s funeral for 100 days.

In addition, these three months are the time for the leaders of the tribal villages to reflect on who replaced Prince Philip in their spiritual beliefs. Prince Charles, the eldest son of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth, is the brightest “candidate” chosen to become the spiritual leader of the tribe. The naked tribal people hoped that Prince Charles could do something his father had never been able to do – visit the islanders.

Village chief Yaohnanen, Jack Malia, said that mentally Prince Philip had always been a part of villagers’ lives. However, they did not get a chance to meet the Queen’s consort because he had never set foot on Tanna Island. “We never got the chance to meet him face to face. If [Thái tử Charles] Agree to come one day, he has to come down here so we can sit together and talk, ”he said.

The village chief of Yakel, Mr. Albi, affirmed that Prince Philip’s soul had left his body, but still existed and was searching for a new “home”. Mr. Albi also sent encouragement to Queen Elizabeth that, hope she does not grieve too much because even though his body is dead, but the soul is still alive.

Residents of Tanna Island were unaware of the announcement of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 9. They still wake up and wake up early the next morning to harvest sweet potatoes. It was not until the afternoon of April 10 that a woman at a nearby resort received the update. Immediately, the women of the tribe burst into tears, and the men mourned in silence and tried to calm the children.

The tribesmen embraced pictures of Prince Philip in his memory.

They said that even though the Prince’s body was dead, the soul still existed.

“In 2007, we were brought to England. The connection between the people of Tana Island and the British was very strong. We extend our condolences to the royal family and the British people, ”said the village chief Yapa in a video message sent to the British Royal family.

Mary Niere, an accountant at a resort near the nude tribe, revealed that mourning is the island’s traditional custom for people facing great grief, which can last for weeks.

For decades, a tribe of 400 people worshiped Prince Philip as god. They prayed every day hoping he would protect their banana and potato crop. To date, it is not entirely clear why this tribe worship Prince Philip so much, even though he has never visited the island.

According to some sources, tribesmen saw large portraits of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth when they visited Port Vila, Vanuatu, in the 1960s. Impressed when he married a ” white power queen, ”they began to believe that he was the embodiment of a volcanic spirit, one day returning to Tanna.

Prince Philip has never been to Tanna Island, only visiting Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila.

The last time the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Vanuatu was during a visit to the capital Port Vila in 1974. At that time, the island nation was an Anglo-French colony, named New Hebrides. During this trip by Prince Philip, the chieftain named Jack Naiva from Tanna and the others did not mind sailing the 240km distance to the capital to welcome their god.

Since then, the Prince’s status in the hearts of the tribal people of Tanna has been strengthened. The Naiva leader firmly believed, His Highness was sent down from heaven to protect the island and bring good luck to the people.

In author Matthew Baylis’ book about Matthew Baylis, tribal residents even speculate, Prince Philip helped Barack Obama become the first black man to be elected President of the United States in 2008. They hailed him maybe. tornado control.

In remote England, Prince Philip was born in awe of the admiration of the Tanna island tribes people for him. Over the years, he sent framed photographs of himself to this nude tribe. These photos are kept in the temple on the island,

Once, the tribe sent Prince Philip a traditional weapon, called nal-nal, used to hunt pigs, and asked him to take pictures with it. Prince Philip accepted the request, but did not forget to complain to his assistant about the strange item before. When it was received in 1980, it is considered sacred and preserved to this day.

Prince Philip’s photo is preserved in the temple.

Prince Philip learned of the existence of the naked tribe and repeatedly sent photos to them.

The tribesmen still longed for Prince Philip to visit once, but now they strongly believe that his soul will come to Tanna. Not only that, they also assured Prince Philip to be black. “If he turns white, it will only happen in other countries,” the leader named Willie Lop announced.

The tribesmen believed that Prince Philip was black, only turning white in another country.
