As reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on the afternoon of September 8, An was herding cows at Van beach, on the bank of Giang River in Nho Xuan hamlet, Thanh Nho commune, when he drowned.
Over the past few days, rescue forces and local people have been continuously searching on the Giang River. People have used boats, fishing rods, winches, bamboo roots stuck in the river, and searched along the river... Due to the high water level and strong currents, search and rescue efforts have encountered many difficulties.
It is known that An is currently studying in grade 8 at Nho Hoa Secondary School. His family is poor, his mother is disabled, and is raising two children alone. For nearly a year now, his mother has gone to the South, and An and his brother are living with their grandmother.
