Old fisherman Nguyen Thai Son, Hong Thai village (Nghe An) is sad because the fishing ground is increasingly exhausted Sea story, job story Early in the morning, at Lach Con estuary (Quynh Phuong ward, Hoang Mai town, Nghe An), fisherman Ho Van Toan (63 years old, Quyet Tien village, Quynh Phuong ward) allowed the boat to land. From 12 o’clock the previous night, Mr. Toan alone went out to sea and caught more than 1 nautical mile from the river gate. Previously, he specialized in offshore fishing. In recent years, he “retired” at home, sad and sad, and remembered his job, so he bought a small boat of 15 million VND to go to sea. “Buy it for the old man with uncle!”, Mr. Toan chuckled and then began to remove the nets, in fact, scooping up the nets, to find the meager result he just had harvested. Mr. Toan laments: “Now the resources are running out, uncle. The ship pounded, scratched the snail (pull the grease snail), then the net bowl, the electric pulse swept, sweeping from the big to the small one. If you have eggs, you can catch them, you can catch them when they are born, then they won’t have the next generation. I am worried about how I will live on my own because I am old ”. After the trip to the sea, Mr. Tran Van Duc (Thang village, Quang Nham commune, Quang Xuong, Thanh Hoa) sat again knitting cage to fight crab. From March to July, the 8th lunar month, he caught crabs; in the remaining months, they were fishing for mantis shrimp and grouper. Mr. Duc said that before, there were many crabs offshore Thanh Hoa, but now they have to go fishing as far as Quang Ninh, Hai Phong. Mr. Nguyen Van Chung, head of Hai Thinh village (Nghi Thiet commune, Nghi Loc district, Nghe An) said that in the past, the village was isolated from the outside, women were rice farmers, men went to the beach. The village’s fishing grounds come mainly from Mat Island. “The fish in my hometown spawned in February and March of the lunar calendar. In the past, this was a quiet sea for them to breed, but now it is stirred up, mined, scratched, polluted, so the source is becoming more and more exhausted. My hometown beach is beautiful, unspoiled, many visitors love it, but now it’s all gone, ”Mr. Chung sighed. Marine workers are now mostly elderly people, some 70-75 years old still go to sea, while young people take care of other jobs in the four countries. Marine people escaped from the marine profession Every time he mentions the sea profession, Mr. Tran Ngoc Chau (72 years old, living in Thanh Son village, Nghi Son island commune, Nghi Son town, Thanh Hoa) is sad again. The “mantra” of the sea villager “if the sea can, I can” no longer seem to be ineffective. He said: “In the past, I pointed out that Nghi Son Bay had set up a trap and had eaten. As we go out to sea a little bit, we often say happily one day to work a month. But now it’s over!”. Nghi Son island commune in the past 100% of the people work in the sea. People here live and die by the sea, “the nose of the boat is guarded on the side of the house”. In recent years, the sea fishing has faced many difficulties, especially the catch has decreased sharply, so many people do not want to go to the sea, some ship owners have to “sell jobs”, which means selling ships that do not work anymore. With the opening of Nghi Son Economic Zone, many stable job opportunities have attracted seafarers. For example, a young couple works as a worker on average 7 million VND / month / person. This is a stable source of income, while the sea is precarious, when the husband goes out to sea, the wife stays at home “hanging the mast” spiritually. We went back to Dai Dong village (Cuong Gian commune, Nghi Xuan district, Ha Tinh province) to meet Mr. Tran Ngoc Canh, heard him tell him: In the years 1989-1990, Cuong Gian commune had more than 1,000 boats, up to now there are only 300 ships. . Now, there are only people aged 40 and over, even over 70 years old. The whole commune has 2,700 people working abroad. Labor export for high income, each month someone sends 80 – 90 million VND, especially someone sends 120 – 130 million VND. Someone had a “broken” lot, had billions in debt, went out of labor export for 3 years to pay the debt, built a 3-storey house. But there are also people 50 or 60 years old who still have to leave their homeland, some have gone for 20 years and have not returned to their hometown once. Having a family, the wife remembers that the husband had to visit, then went back alone. Now, at the parent meeting, the children can see the grandparents, and the parents are “busy working far away”. Mr. Canh suppressed a sigh: “Everything is due to food and bargain. If the fishing career provides a stable income, no one wants to live away from their wife and children or from home ”. The village is gradually “conquered” Central coastal villages, which are peaceful and pristine, have been gradually “invaded” by tourism projects, economic development; because the debt caused by the marine industry is getting more and more difficult. Hai Thinh village (Nghi Thiet commune, Nghi Loc, Nghe An) is hidden behind the mountains of Chuong Ga, Mang mountain, and Mui Co. In the past, to get into the village, there was only one way, along one side of the mountain and the other by the sea. This place is a peaceful and beautiful place with beaches such as Oyster beach, Chuoi beach, Lang beach … Because of its prime location, wild beauty, this place has attracted a large eco-tourism project. . But, from 2013 up to now, this project is still “stationary”. Mr. Nguyen Van Chung, Head of Hai Thinh Village shook his head in frustration: “If the ecotourism project of Thanh Phat Company (headquarter in Hanoi) was implemented on schedule, our village would not have been encroached on by cement. . The ecotourism project has compensated people for nearly 8 billion VND for site clearance, but for some reason it has not yet implemented. It’s very polluted now ”. The project not only pollutes people but also affects the fishing grounds. Every time you dig and clear the channel, people rake the bottom layer up, dust from cement grinding station, from digging mountains to encroach the sea makes fish and shrimp no habitat. Coming to Tan village (Quang Nham commune, Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa), we found many signs with full name and phone number in the empty land. The idea of ​​advertising for selling land, but good research, this is a way for landowners to contact the project owner of the resort when they come to measure. Outside the village, facing the sea, a new breakwater was completed. A group of villagers were drying anchovies, listening to me complimenting the dike for making a beautiful beach. A middle-aged woman said: “It is really beautiful, but I do not know whether to work for people or work for tourism project owners. This embankment has just been invested 100 billion by the State to break waves for Tan village because of wave erosion. But just finished, the owner of the tourism project also entered ”. In 2004, the family of old fisherman Nguyen Van Thuong from Dong village (Quang Nham commune) went to Tan hamlet and was provided with 200m2 of residential land. Before the last New Year’s Eve, when he was fishing at sea, he heard his wife call to announce that people came to measure the land and prepare to relocate. When Tet came, he found out that not only his house but also Tan village had to relocate to make room for a resort tourism project. Mr. Vu Hoang Anh, Secretary and Head of Tan village, said: “In 2001, implementing the migration policy, people in the inner villages of Quang Nham commune went to the wasteland where bordering the Yen river mouth and the sea to live. Up to now, the village has 180 households with over 700 people, 80% of the population working in seafaring. The policy of giving land to ORG Joint Stock Company for the implementation of the urban and tourist project has been popular since 2017. Although the policy has been 4 years, it has not been measured until January 2021. During the 4 years of being “suspended”, people were not allowed to build houses and welfare works. To be honest, we don’t want to go, because here is a large land, life is already stable. If the project is implemented, then deploy it soon, but living like this is so miserable! ”. Mr. Ho Xuan Huong, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quynh Phuong ward (Hoang Mai town, Nghe An), said: Local authorities, central ministries need to have close coordination to implement the guidelines of the Party and House. on the strategy of marine economic development. For a long time, the policy has been in place, but the implementation to the coastal villages, particularly to each fisherman, is still lackluster. Along with that, it is also necessary to plan, train and form a force of good and modern fishermen, taking on the role of “living milestones” in the middle of the East Sea of ​​the country.

Doc Cuoc Temple is located on “Co Giai island” of Truong Le mountain, is a spiritual destination that attracts people and tourists when coming to Sam Son. The masterpiece of nature Going around long miles in Vietnam, every name of the mountain, the name of the river, the name of the village … has its origin stories. Sam Son sea people believe that the legend of Truong Le mountain is associated with ancient legends. A long time ago, after a terrible rain and flood, fishermen discovered on the shore the body of a pregnant woman was in distress. To pity the ill-fated woman, the people together bury and cover the grave. After time, the grave takes the shape of Truong Le strip as today. Along with the name Truong Le, the mountain range bearing the shape of a lying woman is also known as a bold sea name: “Gam Son” or Gam mountain. Explaining this, the author Hoang Thang Ngoi in the book Sam Son Spirit, said: “Perhaps the sound of waves hitting the cliffs, echoing into the village. Lightly called “shaking the sea”, heavy is called “sea roar”. A roaring sea or a roaring mountain is the intersection between sea and mountain to give birth to the name “Gam mountain”. Truong Le mountain is not long, not high with 16 tops (islands), the highest point is Hon Keo, only 84.7 meters above sea level. However, in that mountain range, the Creator took care when creating “Phu Thai islands; Hon Keo; Co Giai island; Hon Banh Voi; Ca Squid Islet; Lo Rua slot “… has the shape of an animal; there are positions on the Truong Le strip with the impressive name:” Elephant bog, dead horse “… Depend on the creative hand of heaven and earth. , the ancestor with rich imagination has left to life legendary stories imbued with emotions, moving people’s hearts, in which, the legend of “Trong Trang” is an immortal song about love of a couple, means that husband and wife do not leave for a lifetime. Truong Le strip gently stretches to the sea, resting its head on silver waves, creating dreamy baths (Phung Ngoc; Phung Tien) so that thousands of years of rocky mountains and water waves still tell each other many interesting stories. Legend has it that, in the past, on moonlit nights, fairies used to fly back to bathe in the area of ​​”Phung Ngoc, Phung Tien” below the cliff of Truong Le. Sacred monuments After being absorbed in the natural scenery, pedestrians step into the sacred space of the relic system located on Truong Le mountain. Each relic has stories about the divine, human … who made the merits of building the village, protecting the people, and building a life together, step by step creating the face of Sam Son city today. . In the position of Truong Le mountain spreading close to the sea, one can see the shape of a sea turtle. Therefore, it should have the name “Co Giai island” (the word name is “Miet Canh island”). On Co Giai island is Doc Cuoc temple relic. Local legend says that Doc Cuoc god was born to Truong Le’s mother, and was raised rice together by the people of Sam Son. When he was growing up with extraordinary stature, he split his body in half (Single Charge), half with fishermen went out to sea against the beast; Half stayed on the mainland to protect their peaceful villages from the evil red-mine enemies. The giant footprint of Doc Cuoc god is deeply imprinted on Co Giai mountain rock. Here, the villagers set up a temple of Doc Cuoc god with the belief that life is supported and protected by the god. According to the book Thanh Hoa province chi: “In the Ly dynasty, one day a storm broke trees and the water surged, the next day, the people of An Niem commune saw a god descending on Miet Canh mountain, imprinted in the rock, and imprinted with the left foot. a staff 3 inches wide. Local people saw a new spirit to set up a temple right on that mountain to worship ”. By the time of Tran, the temple on Co Giai was officially built, associated with the story of King Tran Anh Tong fighting the Chiem Thanh enemy when passing Sam Son sea was supported by the spirit. Returning to the battle, the Tran king did not forget to confer to god: “Doc Cuoc is a true man of Thuong Sang God”. The later dynasties followed that and conferred the ordination. Over a long period of existence, the language of the “head of the wind”, but strangely, in the war against the US, Sam Son was an area bombed by the enemy, bombed extremely fiercely, the village was destroyed. Tan deserted, yet the temple located on Co Giai is still majestic. Hundreds of soldiers were kept hidden in the temple. The people believe that the temple is protected by the god of Single Charge, so the enemy’s bombs and ammunition cannot be destroyed. Confident in the sacredness of the patron god, Sam Son fishermen often do not forget to come to the temple to ask Doc Cuoc for help to steady their hands before the waves of the sea. For visitors to Sam Son, from the beach, along 43 green mossy stone steps will reach Doc Cuoc Temple. From here, zoom out into the immense space, a vast sea and sky with boats reaching out and silver waves; The same stature “the most ideal resort in Indochina” is changing and modern day by day. Following the cool green mountain road, going straight from Trong Mai islet, you can see Dau Voi Islet. Different from Co Giai Island, Dau Elephant Islet on Truong Le Mountain looks like a giant elephant reaching down to the sea to drink water. Here, there is the famous sacred temple of Co Tien. The relic was originally built to worship Doc Cuoc god. Later, they also worshiped the Tam Thanh Mau (Mau Thuong Ngan; Mau Com and Mau Lieu Hanh). Standing down from Co Tien Temple, visitors see a very different Sam Son. That is not the vibrant Sam Son beach, bustling, but quiet and discreet. The rocky cliffs undulating on the waves close together are a private space so that people can relax with the sea, let the fatigue disappear. The sea will listen to all feelings and confidences. Co Tien Temple is also known as a location in 1960, when visiting Sam Son, Uncle Ho stayed here and pulled nets with fishermen. At the monument, there are still paintings and photos of Uncle Ho with and working with the people. That is Sam Son’s invaluable asset today … Coming back to Sam Son, at sea, there is also a quiet cultural space for generations. Open your heart to discover a truly complete Sam Son.
