Previously, on May 8, while swimming with his friends in the Hoang Mai River in Quynh Di Ward, Nguyen Quang Dung heard the cries for help from children on the shore. Approaching, Dung saw a child struggling in the middle of the water. At that time, there were some other children on the shore but none of them knew how to swim so they could only stand and shout. Dung immediately jumped into the water to save the child.

Due to his small stature, Dung struggled with the water for a while before he could bring the child to shore. At this time, Nguyen Duc Minh (5 years old) - the drowning victim - had turned purple all over his body, his stomach was tight. Fortunately, a local resident ran to give first aid and took the child to the hospital. Thanks to timely emergency care, Minh was out of danger.

In recognition of Nguyen Quang Dung's brave act of saving people, Secretary of the Central Youth Union Nguyen Ngoc Luong awarded him the "Brave Youth" badge.

Nguyen Quang Dung is a typical example of a good person and good deeds; despite his young age, he has acted courageously and dared to forget himself for the sake of others. He is a typical image of a good, loyal team member and union member, and he deserves the award that the Central Youth Union has given.
