At around 4:30 p.m. on February 16, 2018 (the first day of Tet), a 45-second clip appeared on a Facebook page named Ngo Ly Hung, showing a young man in a white shirt picking up trash bags that had been thrown by inconsiderate people in the middle of the street. After finishing his work, he happily got on his car and continued his spring outing with his group of friends.

Immediately after being posted, the clip received the approval and response of many young people about his good actions on the way to celebrate Tet. “Beautiful action”, “kind deed”, “good deed at the beginning of the year”… are the compliments that the online community gave to the young man in the clip.

Besides those who agree and support the good deeds of the handsome guy, there are also many opposing opinions, expressing disagreement with the lack of awareness of some people. "People are really lacking in awareness", "only knowing how to clean their own house without thinking about the environment of the village", "if someone accidentally crashes into it, the consequences will be unpredictable"... are comments expressing the opposition and indignation of young people after watching the clip.

According to the investigation, the clip was recorded in Roi village, Dien Nam, Ky Tan commune, Tan Ky district. The main character in the clip is Phan Anh Thong, residing in Lat town, Tan Ky. Mr. Thong said that while on the way to visit his old homeroom teacher's house with some friends, he saw many bags of garbage scattered on the road, saw many vehicles passing by being obstructed and losing the beauty of Tet, so he proactively stopped the car and moved the bags of garbage to the side of the road for people to pass easily. He himself did not expect that his normal action would be recorded by his friend on the same car, posted online and received so much praise from the community. "Honestly, if it was left like that, it would be unsightly, especially at the beginning of the year" - Mr. Thong said.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Oanh - Secretary of the Party Cell of Hamlet 1 Dien Nam, Ky Tan Commune said that the hamlet has regulations on where to dump garbage and assigns people to burn garbage periodically, but some people lack awareness, taking advantage of the dark night to often throw garbage bags on deserted roads. The hamlet management board has reminded many times but the above phenomenon has not stopped. The garbage bags appearing in the clip may have been thrown out by some people on the night of the 30th of Tet, the hamlet will investigate carefully and have a solution to thoroughly handle this phenomenon.
