Dang Van Hai is the son of Phu Cat land, Binh Dinh 9X shared, from a young age he liked to see the beauty of nature through TV programs. Growing up, the desire to explore nature, learn about the life and culture of the regions always motivated Dang Hai. Therefore, he “embarked” to study photography and filming to “record digital diary” about the beautiful scenes he went through, preserving the most meaningful moments of his youth. On his journey, Dang Hai went to all 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam. Each trip left him with unforgettable impressions, aroused the national pride and love of the country of the Binh Dinh native. “For me, every trip is an exciting experience of youth. The more I travel, the more I realize that Vietnam has so many things to love, many beautiful scenes to be proud of and to show off to international friends,” 9X expressed. The more I go to 9X, the more I realize that Vietnam has a lot to love, many beautiful scenes to be proud of and to show off to international friends. Every destination, every altitude gives the boy born in 1993 the feeling of victory over himself when he arrives. In 2015, he completed a trip across Vietnam by motorbike. After reaching the end point, the young man sent his motorbike to Binh Dinh by train, while I traveled by plane. In 2020, Dang Hai has a memorable trip with a 24-day trip on the East Sea. With a camera and camcorder, Dang Hai followed a tuna fishing boat departing from Ben Da port (Vung Tau) to move towards the territorial waters of Malaysia and Indonesia. During 24 days, Dang Hai experienced being a real fisherman, watching the sunrise in the vast waves and immersing in the life of the sea. After a series of days floating on the waves, the boat moved to Ninh Thuan and then back to Vung Tau. From the waves to the forest, but Dang Hai’s biggest difficulty is not on the trekking journey, but from the family side. “People at home are very worried about their safety when they find themselves in many places with difficult terrain, where the temperature drops to 2 to 3 degrees. But passion is the hardest thing in the world, so I can only encourage my family and prepare more carefully for the trip,” he shared.

Sharing more about the special point of his works, Dang Hai said: “The difference probably lies in the destination. The mountains and the sea are places where it is easy to seduce your feet. Mountains bring strong beauty, sea brings gentleness. When these two elements blend together, it creates a lacquer painting of a fairy-tale scene. Anchovy fishing nets Nhon Ly, City.

About the upcoming plan, 9X said he will depart for the Northwest region, especially Mu Cang Chai after the epidemic is over. Although he has been here before, this time, Dang Hai wants to experience the Northwest in a different way. It is a Northwest of the ripe rice season, paragliding over the golden season of Mu Cang. “I am proud of Vietnam, a safe, friendly destination that always welcomes anyone who comes here with open arms.” In addition, Dang Hai also wants to remind each individual when traveling to always be conscious of preserving the natural landscape and protecting the environment. “Let’s rebuild a green, clean, beautiful and poetic Vietnam!” “I am proud of Vietnam, a safe, friendly destination that always welcomes anyone who comes here with open arms”

Increasing influence How China is entering Europe’s ports

Status: 10.06.2021 12:33 p.m.

Piraeus, Rotterdam, Antwerp and soon possibly also Hamburg – China has its own terminals in 14 European ports or holds shares in port operators. Critics warn of the consequences of the urge to expand. From Lothar Gries, tagesschau.de The listed Hamburg port operator HHLA is currently negotiating with the Chinese state shipping company Cosco about a possible participation in one of its container terminals – with the telling name of Tollerort. HHLA recently announced that a legally binding agreement has not yet been reached. However, the publication of such a release indicates that the talks are on the home stretch. Trade with China is by far the most important business for the third largest European seaport. Ships of the Chinese shipping company Cosco have been calling at Hamburg for almost 40 years. Two years ago, China’s Vice President Wang Qishan also visited the Tollerort terminal. With its four berths on a quay wall a good kilometer long, 14 container cranes and a five-track rail connection, Tollerort is one of a total of four container terminals in the Port of Hamburg and the second largest at HHLA.

Important loophole

According to experts, by entering Hamburg, China would close the largest gap in its maritime Silk Road. Even more: through a partnership with HHLA, Cosco could also get privileged access to the Italian Adriatic port of Trieste. The Hamburg port operator had taken over the majority in a new terminal there last year – with the express approval of the government in Rome, which wanted to block the way for the Chinese who were also interested. Because a majority stake by Cosco in the largest container terminal in Trieste would have been tantamount to a sell-out from the perspective of the Italians. Now the Chinese could still gain access to Trieste via Hamburg. That would be a decisive move in Beijing’s expansion strategy, since Trieste is the northernmost port in the Mediterranean and therefore particularly important for Central and Eastern Europe. HHLA is also involved in terminals in the Ukraine and Estonia.

“Loss of Sovereignty”

Cosco and its sister company China Merchant already have their own terminals in a total of 14 European ports – or at least shares in the port operators. All the major seaports on the continent are included, from Rotterdam and Antwerp to Le Havre, Bilbao, Genoa, Valencia and Marseille. According to calculations by US experts, more than two thirds of the 50 largest container terminals in the world are already controlled by the Chinese or at least supported by holdings. “Europe has thus lost some of its sovereignty,” complained the former French Prime Minister and China expert, Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The sell-off began in 2016 when Greece, which was practically bankrupt at the time, was forced by the troika made up of the monetary fund, the EU and the ECB to privatize the port of Piraeus. The Chinese were happy to take it and were given complete control of the strategically located port for a bargain price of 280 million euros. Today Piraeus is number four in Europe, behind Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. The port is the end point of the maritime Silk Road, from China across the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. Beijing also controls its entrance for onward travel through the Suez Canal, with a naval base in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa.

Silk Road project – anything but a marketing gimmick

The example of Greece shows the political effects of China’s increasing influence in some countries, says Günther Oettinger, the former EU Commissioner and Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg. “Before the European Union imposed symbolic sanctions on China in March, Greece liked the role of delaying and watering down resolutions against China. A rogue who thinks evil”, said the CDU politician in a guest article for the “Tagesspiegel” “. China’s expansion can no longer be stopped. “We cannot blame the Chinese for being smart. We can only blame ourselves for being so stupid,” said French President Emmanuel Macron, referring to China’s strategy, which is an increasingly large one in Europe’s economy Role to play. In fact, the EU countries watched China’s shopping spree for a long time with takeovers of technology companies such as the German robot manufacturer Kuka. “When China’s leadership launched the ‘New Silk Road’ project in 2013, many in Europe believed it was a marketing gag,” said Günther Oettinger. President Xi Jinping was very serious, as can be seen from the trade network that has now been established. In Europe, China prefers to help those states, such as Greece or Hungary, that are poorer than Western Europeans. These countries are to be tied closely to themselves by investing billions in infrastructure in order to create a “China-friendly Europe”, as a high-ranking EU diplomat of the “world” said.

No concerns from Berlin

The most recent decision by the EU Parliament, which Suspend discussions on the investment agreement reached with China at the end of last year . Among other things, it was supposed to regulate the access of European companies to the Chinese market, but met with growing opposition in the European Union. Critics complained that the agreement did not set any limits to China’s expansionist urge. This is unlikely to prevent the Chinese from entering the Tollerort container port in Hamburg. The negotiations are after NDR- Information well advanced and coordinated with the federal government. There are no concerns from the Chancellery, the Ministry of Economics and Transport, or the Foreign Office.

Mars hides the secret of life, always urging people to explore. Photo: NASA Today’s Earthlings are perhaps the most curious generation about the possibility of alien life on Mars, and are always wondering how humans might one day colonize there. From theories about Martian canals to alien radio messages, over the past three centuries, mankind has been constantly thinking about life on Mars. approach to his Martian “brothers”. Mars often appears in ancient texts as a “fire star,” or represents the god of War. In the 17th century, new early telescopes allowed scientists to get a glimpse of the Red Planet. Skilled “channel engineers”? Scientists need more powerful telescopes to be able to see up close, thereby trying to better clarify the hypothesis of life on Mars. In 1877, Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli noticed crisscrossing lines covering the “Red Planet”. He called these lines “canali”, which means “canal”. Schiaparelli himself does not believe that this is an alien product, but some others are sure of it. Giovanni Schiaparelli’s map of the “canal” system on Mars. Image: Wikimedia Commons As information spread, the word “canali” was translated into English as “canal”, meaning “canal”. And if there were canals, wouldn’t that suggest that aliens would have to dig them? With that argument, many people believe that the interlaced lines on the surface of Mars are a beautiful system of waterways spreading across the planet.. Such a system not only shows that Martians exist, but that they are also amazing engineers. On Earth, it took man 10 years to complete the Suez Canal in 1869. The achievements of the Martians therefore seem to be far superior to those achieved by man. Astronomer Percival Lowell certainly thought so. In 1894, this American scientist-businessman began to expand the concept of a “canal” on Mars. Lowell used his family’s large textile fortune to open the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA. Professor Percival Lowell works with a telescope invested by his family. Image: Wikimedia Commons Percival Lowell mapped the “canals” on Mars with the help of the 24-inch Alvan Clark & ​​Sons refracting telescope he set up at the Lowell Observatory. He made meticulous maps of what was observed on the surface of Mars, wrote many books and regularly gave lectures on his shocking theory that Martians existed and that they were trying to irrigate the planet. their dying elf. Percival Lowell offers logical explanations to answer the question of how and why life exists on Mars. He used the example of life on Earth to illustrate his arguments: “As long as it was proved with certainty that no life could exist on the seabed, dredgers deep sea beds were invented, and before long, they ‘frustrated’ us. Behold, they see full of life. Fish, crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms. In short, the life of all common floating fish, from protozoa to marine ‘monsters’ – have been found living in the depths of the seabed. What is impossible, turns out to be possible.” But mapping Mars is one thing, and soon scientists are looking for ways to make contact with any life that might exist on the planet. “Message” from the Red Planet In 1899, Lowell’s theory of life on Mars received a “kick” from a prominent scientist: Nikola Tesla. Tesla, then a successful electrical engineer, claimed that he had detected an “inexplicable, faint” signal originating from Mars. Portrait of Nikola Tesla circa 1890. Photo: Wikimedia Commons While conducting experiments with his magnifier at high latitudes atop Pike Peak, Colorado Springs, Tesla claimed that he received “a message from another world, unknown and far away. “. What does that message say? According to Nikola Tesla, it is simply: “ONE – TWO – THREE”. A few years later, on a February 1901 day, in an interview with Collier’s Weekly, inventor Tesla announced that he could communicate with Martians by sending wireless messages to any point. on the “Red Planet”. This is a strange statement, because the successful transmission of radio messages on Earth has only become a reality since December of that year. Tesla doesn’t know what the aliens might look like, but he believes they have adapted to living conditions on Mars. Like Lowell, he suggested that “it is possible that in a frozen planet, such as the presumed conditions on our Moon, intelligent beings could still reside, within it, if not within it. on the surface”. To many people, when humans can receive messages from Mars, we can also send messages, that seems reasonable. In 1909, there were attempts to find a contact with life on Mars. Harvard professor William Henry Pickering proposed sending planetary light signals through a series of reflections produced by a network of 50 giant mirrors. The flashes would continue to flash for several years, allowing the Martians time to develop the necessary means to respond. Professor Pickering’s giant mirror illustration for sending signals to Mars. Photo: Library of Congress “In the hope of receiving such signals again, we must of course assume that Martians, if they exist, have telescopes, eyes, etc., just like humans have on this Earth.” Mr. Pickering said. But the Harvard professor’s plan cost $10 million, and no one wanted to fund it.

Currently, there are about 9,000 accommodation establishments that have registered for Covid-19 safety criteria. Previously, in November 2020, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued Official Letter No. 4159/BVHTTDL-TCDL to the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities, which contained mandatory requirements for establishments. Tourist accommodation in the area registered and self-assessed for Covid-19 safety to ensure safety for epidemic prevention and control. The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism also said that, together with accommodation units, local travel agencies strictly implement the request not to organize tours to and receive guests from epidemic areas as recommended by the agency. authorities and ensure the prevention and control of epidemics for employees. In order to strengthen the inspection, ensure safety for epidemic prevention and control in tourism activities, recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism had a working session with units on guiding and supervising the practice of tourism. Now register and self-assess Covid-19 safety. Facing the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic when there were consecutive occurrences of community infections in a number of provinces and cities, the Ministry asked the National Administration of Tourism to continue to urge, guide and supervise localities. , tourist accommodation establishments carry out registration and self-assessment of Covid-19 safety. At the same time, make statistics on the system of establishments that are operating and temporarily suspending operations for appropriate instructions and reminders. According to Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Trinh Thi Thuy, the implementation of registration and self-assessment of Covid-19 safety will have to be carried out for a long time, even after the epidemic has been controlled to serve work. manage and develop tourism in the near future. Therefore, VNAT continues to upgrade the assessment system to perform regularly and continuously, ensuring to understand tourism activities in localities, connecting with the national Covid-19 safety system and promote propaganda to people and tourists to use the application “Safe Vietnam tourism” to participate in monitoring and evaluating Covid-19 safety at tourist accommodation establishments.

Recently, however, a coalition of 44 US attorneys general signed a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, listing reasons and citing research suggesting Facebook should not continue with the plan. develop the Instagram app for kids. One of the reasons listed in the letter is: Facebook has had many controversies in the past related to protecting children’s privacy; other research also shows that social media can harm children both physically and mentally; children do not have a complete understanding of privacy and can easily become targets of anonymous criminals; especially the large percentage of young Instagram users surveyed have experienced cyberbullying on this app. It seems that with the development of Instagram for Kids, Facebook not only failed to meet the need, but even created another need, as the platform mainly appeals to children with or without Instagram accounts. In short, an Instagram platform for young children will be harmful for a multitude of reasons. The attorney general urged Facebook to drop its plans to launch this new platform. In a statement released by Attorney General Maura Healey, the head of the coalition, she cited Zuckerberg’s rejection of the idea that social media is harmful to children. The statement points out that there is much evidence and research that contradicts Zuckerberg’s denial. Currently, children under the age of 13 are not allowed to own an Instagram account unless the description of the profile clearly states that the account is being managed by a parent or guardian. Back in March, Instagram released a blog post showing their efforts to protect minors under the age of 18 on the platform. The AG Alliance believes that this is not enough, especially for those under 13 years old. According to Gsmarena

However, there is a much simpler, but not very popular, way: Switch your phone’s screen to grayscale. This way you get rid of all the vibrant colors on your phone, and it could be a lot more effective than you might think. (Photo: MacRumors) This procedure is based on the fact that the human brain is attracted to anything bright and colorful. According to a designer who worked for Google named Tristan Harris, when the phone screen is no longer colorful and eye-catching, users will no longer feel the urge to constantly use social networks. the games I love too. (Photo: CNET) If you also want to try this trick and are using an iPhone, all you need to do is go to the Settings app, then choose Accessibility> Display & Text Size> Color Filters. Here, turn on the Color Filters mode and the Grayscale mode will appear. On Android phones running Androdi 9.0 or higher, you can activate the same mode in the Quick Settings menu, select Pen in the bottom left corner of the screen, and select Grayscale.

Promote the provision of online public services According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, by the end of 2020, the average rate of level 4 service delivery nationwide is 30.86%, reaching the target of 2020. However, in order to develop e-Government towards digital government in the new phase, the provision of public services remains a top priority task. Therefore, the Ministry of Information and Communications recommends ministries continue to drastically and effectively implement solutions to achieve the goal of providing 100% of eligible public services to level 4 online in 2021. . For public services that do not qualify for online posting level 4, it is necessary to thoroughly apply technical solutions to maximize public service delivery activities on the network environment, from the submission process, receive and settle administrative procedures dossiers until the results are returned to the people and enterprises. The Ministry of Information and Communications also requested ministries and branches to assign the specialized agencies in charge of information technology of the ministries and branches to develop a plan to implement the level 4 public service delivery service, in which the following contents should be clearly shown: Target to provide 100% qualifying public services to level 4 online by 2021 month by month; A list of public services that are eligible to go online to level 4 in 2021 and a list of public services ineligible for level 4 online (with an explanation of the cause of ineligibility) should be sent to the Department. TT-TT before April 29, 2021. Every month, the ministries and branches send reports on the provision of electronic services to the Ministry of Information and Communications through the digital transformation evaluation system at: https://dti.gov.vn for synthesis. At the same time, the information collection and evaluation system and the information service (EMC System) built by the Ministry of Information and Communications when connected to the public service portal and the ministerial electronic one-door system will monitor the reality. implementation of the provision of public services by ministries and branches.

However, in the past few days, many Now drivers have expressed frustration with the new application policy of this application. Reply Zing , Mr. Huu Thinh – a delivery officer of Now in Hanoi – said the ability to match orders has existed for a long time. However, recently, this way of processing applications of Now has many shortcomings that affect the driver’s income. A shipper of Now receives food from the restaurant to deliver to customers. Photo: Chi Hung. High discount with single graft Mr. Thinh said that he and many other drivers were very frustrated when Now cut their delivery money with the transplant form. For example, Now normally charges a customer of 15,000 VND per application for a distance of less than 3 km, two applications are 30,000 VND (excluding surcharges). But with the compound application, Now only pays the driver 19,000-21,000 VND / application, the rest 9,000-11,000 is collected by the company. Meanwhile, many applications combine the distance between the two shops nearly 5 km, which is a disadvantage for the driver. “I received a 5.2 km application for 22,500 VND, but added a total distance of 6.4 km but only added 8,000 VND. While I spent a lot of time waiting for the second application, making the first order call. electricity urged continuously, “he said. It took me a long time to wait for the second application, causing the first customer to call continuously Huu Thinh, Driver Now in Hanoi According to Mr. Thinh, receiving the transplant application not only affects the driver but also reduces the quality of delivery service. Drivers have to wait for food in different restaurants, making the waiting time for customers to prolong. “Customers understand better, but many people wait a long time, they will underestimate the cold food”, he lamented. Mr. KT (Hung Yen), a driver Now said delivery by motorbike, but the system always measures the shortest distance (usually by road). “The fact that the pedestrian street is usually the opposite direction, going through the stairs … This makes the driver’s distance displayed on the app not true,” he said. “Combining the application, the driver should be entitled to the money of 2 applications, why from the starting point to the last delivery”, this driver annoyed. Not only that, according to Mr. T., Now combined the application but did not ask if the customer agreed or not, but still collected enough money as a normal order. He confirmed that some support specialists also instructed drivers to lie to customers. Need a reasonable coupling policy According to some drivers, Now’s process when pairing the application requires the driver to finish picking up the goods at both shops, then start delivering them to customers. If the driver delivers a form first, the system will report to the switchboard “arbitrary delivery”, the position now does not match the previous location. That could cause the driver partner to have their account locked out. Mr. Tran Minh (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) often uses Now to order food. He said that he recently placed orders only about 1-2 km, but the driver took 40 minutes to deliver. “Find out that the driver was complained but could not add any money,” he said. According to him, Now’s application pairing does not optimize travel distance and costs for drivers, even affecting the quality of customers’ dishes. Many Now drivers are frustrated with the app’s way of handling the app. Photo: Thanh Thuong. Previously, on April 16, a few days after the application updated the automatic receipt feature for priority coupons, many drivers were frustrated because Now did not recognize the driver’s reward points performance, trying love “forcing” the driver to receive the application. Immediately after that, the application issued a message that this problem was caused by a system error. “Because it affects the rights, the drivers speak up. We just hope that the single policy is reasonable, both facilitating partners and not affecting customers”, Mr. Duy Quang (Tan Phu, Ho Chi Minh City) – a driver Now – share. Zing Contact Now to inquire about the matter, but the company has not yet responded. NowFood was originally a member of Foody, a social network that reviews and shares food and drink places. With food delivery service, from 2016 up to now, this application has developed a dense system of restaurant partners and continuously brings promotional campaigns to customers. Now held the “throne” in this segment for a long time until GrabFood, GoFood and Baemin appeared. According to data from market research firm Euromonitor, the online food delivery market in Vietnam is expected to reach about 38 million USD by 2020 and maintain an average growth rate of 11% in the next 5 years. Research by Kantar TNS – a multinational market research company in Vietnam – also shows that this market revenue has an average growth rate of 28.5% per year, up to $ 449 million by 2023. .

1. Giving advice at the wrong time

How many times have you felt compelled to give advice to someone even when not asked? This mistake in communication often comes from love and concern. When you love someone, you want them to be better, and that’s okay. But the fact that we often give unnecessary advice will often backfire.

It always happens in relationships when we really want to help the person improve, but don’t think about whether they need our advice or not. “Honesty is the best policy”, but sometimes we take it too far. If you hear yourself trying to say, “I think you should …” or “This isn’t good about you,” notice, you may be about to give some advice that others don’t want to hear.

Appropriate approach: If you feel that it’s important to advise someone, you have two options for how to approach your audience. You can ask for the person’s opinion and get his or her permission, before giving advice, or you can try to reassure them that your advice is constructive.

Asking someone for advice doesn’t always work because that person may say they don’t want to hear these things. If they don’t want to hear what you have to say, the only thing you can do is keep quiet and let the person figure it out on his own.

2. Ignore their feelings when they need you

Our emotions fluctuate often and, unfortunately, we cannot be happy all the time. We may feel stressed at work, sad at something happened, or frustrated by not getting what we want. The greatest sadness comes from feeling that the person who should know us best cannot recognize our painful feelings.

Imagine your spouse comes home from a stressful day at work. You have not even let them tell your story, immediately give advice. You think you are helping them and trying to fix the problem for them. But that approach has never been highly effective.

Not only do you fall into the first mistake of giving advice at the wrong time, you are also seen as ignoring the other person’s needs at the time. Your ex may want to discuss or solve problems with you sometimes, but when they come home from a tiring day, the only thing they need is to be heard.

Appropriate approach: Respect the other’s feelings by listening to them. Use proactive listening and avoid trying to fix the problem for them right away. Even if the problem seems minor to you, avoid trivializing their emotions. You can help him or her find solutions later, but at first just acknowledge their thoughts and feelings.

3. Don’t give any advice to the other party

If the past problems have been about giving too much information, then there are many people who are mistaken in not giving any advice.

Imagine your ex coming to you to suggest a place for your anniversary. Instead of listing a few options with them, you answer by: “I / I don’t know” or “It depends, you are fine with whatever you choose.”

You think you are showing comfort and flexibility, but that is not the message you are sending to the other person. He or she comes to you because they want suggestions and advice from you and answers like don’t care or don’t want to take any responsibility for decision-making that really makes others feel uncomfortable. bear. You don’t have to come up with a definitive answer, but they want to see that you are willing to come up with some contributing ideas about the problem in general.

Appropriate approach: When someone asks for your response, take a moment to review their request. You don’t have to solve the problem for them, but you can help them think about the situation from a new perspective.

I am 27 years old this year, no lover, and have just experienced a few love that went nowhere in the past. However, this does not bother me. With a strong personality, I live a celibacy, prioritize loving myself, don’t need a man to “fill the void”.

However, my daughter was also of age, my mother kept urging me to get married quickly and give birth to children. She is from the previous generation, her thoughts are a bit old-fashioned. Before, when my father was still alive, he was definitely a psychological father to a daughter. Normally, when my mother urged me to get married, my father would just brush it off and say that now I need to travel a lot, take care of myself. Even so, my father even gave me money when my mother “bullied”. However, my father passed away too soon, could not wait for my filial piety, it was all because of a serious illness.

There is a younger brother below me who is in college this year. The family has 3 mothers and children sometimes sad. That is why my mother urged me to get married early so that we could have more a bridegroom, and furthermore, one of my grandchildren.

Illustration.

Although I do not actively seek for love, I also have a few dating apps installed on my phone. I have to say I have good looks, sharp eyes and a personality face, so many boys take the initiative to get acquainted with the text. Sometimes I just go to check and reply to someone’s messages that I find intrigued. Some boys texted me to go out, go on a date, but I was too lazy, didn’t want to carry my body out, even though I said my home address.

Lately, a strange man kept sending flowers to his house. A few days after I got home from work, my mother gave me a bouquet of flowers and spoke “There’s someone in front of my house here. No text, just flowers.”

Each week, about 1-2 bouquets of flowers will be sent flowers like that. Not a message, not a recipient’s address, all just a bare bouquet. I immediately “localize” a few people that I often text back and forth. But everyone denied giving flowers to me, even sarcasm “Many people like it so many people do not know what to give flowers now!”

I was really curious inside that couldn’t be helped. Find all the suspicious people and still find no confirmation. Bouquets of flowers are sent out around the time I go to work, but normally if I’m at home there won’t be any.

In the end, I came up with a way, but still quite unlucky. That is, I check the camera in the apartment where I live. It is difficult to get in, because only the security guard or someone on management can grant the permission. Fortunately, thanks to the “relationship” plus the smart mouth, I can also see who came to the house to give the bouquet.

Illustration.

It turns out, a man came to my mother, put on a mask, and said something to her. I don’t know if he was the owner of the bouquets or just the delivery man. I hid this story and did not rush to tell my mother.

However, shortly after, I discovered in the drawer of the mother’s room an envelope containing 10 million VND. Besides that, there is also a message attached “Dear me, I hope you and your children will live well”.

I really doubted that the envelope was attached to the bouquet. And if you send it to me, why “hope you and the children”? I continued to secretly look in my mother’s locker when she was not at home. At the bottom of the cupboard, many envelopes have similar content. Especially, the number of envelopes is equal to the number of bouquets I received.

At this point, I couldn’t stand it. My mother must have had an affair with another man and then lied that the bouquet he sent for me was to cover her eyes. When talking privately with her mother, she admitted. That because my father is dead, she feels lonely, empty, and needs to be filled with her thoughts. The man was rich, his wife also died, just wanting to provide more support for my mother’s life comfortably.

My mother said to understand her, but now I’m really empty, don’t know what to do to sympathize …
