(Baonghean.vn) - For nearly 15 years, veteran Ha Van Hoan has been growing cinnamon, cultivating rice, and raising chickens in the middle of the jungle. The daily life of this old veteran is almost isolated from the outside society.

Surrounded by medium-height dirt mountains, which are both cinnamon plantations and protected old-growth forests. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Mr. Hoan said that he "settled down" in the hut since 2009. Like many elderly people in the highlands, he likes to live on the fields, choosing an isolated life to grow rice, raise chickens, and grow cinnamon. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Income from cinnamon exploitation has helped him buy a tractor for production, buy a motorbike for his children and renovate his house. Mr. Hoan said that the soil here is suitable for cinnamon trees. If well cared for, after 4 years, branches can be harvested. From 7 years old, cinnamon can be exploited. Photo: Huu Vi

His military career helped him develop discipline, spirit and the will to overcome difficulties and rise up in all circumstances. He often wakes up early to take care of the chickens, cut grass, feed the fish and take care of the terraced fields in front of the hut. Photo: Huu Vi

His biggest income is still the cinnamon plantations. "But I only have money once every few years" - Mr. Hoan laughed happily. Photo: Huu Vi
