Mưu sinh vất vả, hiểm nguy
Making a living is hard and dangerous, but the results are very meager. All morning, I only caught a few small fish. Photo: Cong Khang

Nước sông mênh mông nhưng đục ngầu, nước sạch phục vụ sinh hoạt bị thiếu nghiêm trọng, phải chèo thuyền đi một quãng xa để xin từng can nước sạch. Công Khang
The river water is vast but murky, and there is a serious shortage of water for daily use. People have to row their boats quite far to get cans of clean water. At night, the villagers have to stay awake to watch the water, in case the water rises, they have to quickly go ashore to find shelter. Photo: Cong Khang

Ban đêm, trên những con thuyền mỏng manh giữa dòng nước lũ, các cư dân xóm chài gần như thức trắng để canh nước, nếu nước lên phải kịp thời sơ tán lên bờ. Mong ước lớn nhất của họ là có mảnh đất để dựng lên ngôi nhà nhỏ, để mỗi khi mưa lũ có chỗ trú chân an toàn. Công Khang
Their biggest wish is to have a piece of land to build a small house, so that they can have a safe place to stay during floods. Photo: Cong Khang
