The tragic situation of a poor orphan student who passed the entrance exam to the Air Defense - Air Force Academy

Xuan Sang was born on August 20, 2001. In 2004, when he was 3 years old, his mother passed away from leukemia at the age of 25. His father had to work everywhere to make a living.

Life seemed less difficult when his father took a second wife, but after two years the family fell apart. In 2015, Sang's father married a third wife. After his stepmother gave birth to a younger sister with a birth defect, the family fell apart again. The father had to go to work in Son La, Bac Ninh, but he had a series of accidents and is currently unknown where he is.

Since then, he became a child without parents to depend on, forced to live with his grandparents. At his grandparents' house, Sang went to school, herded buffalo, and cut grass to help his grandparents.

In 2016, my grandmother passed away from cancer. My grandfather was sick and weak, struggling to make a living. My daily meals and last support were also gone. I became an orphan, living alone in a lonely house with only a picture of my mother and a small puppy. Ms. Canh, an official of Thanh Nho commune, said: "There were many days when he had to go hungry because there was no rice, that haunted us forever."

Since finishing high school, Sang has lived a quiet life, rarely seeing friends his age because of an inferiority complex, even though he had enough points to enter the Air Force Academy.

We went to her house at night, she couldn’t hold back her tears when talking about her family. Sang was confused and shared: “On August 23rd, I will start school but the day before I only sold all my old books for 80 thousand dong.”

Faced with that reality, the Party Secretary of Hamlet 2, where Sang lives, said: “On the evening of August 21, at the Hamlet 2 Cultural House, the people will organize a meeting and give gifts to congratulate Sang and Vu (a poor student in the same hamlet who passed the entrance exam to the Military School) on their way to school. The hamlet also hopes that benefactors will help so that the children can have a little more money for school fees...”.

Villagers and many individuals came to encourage Sang before he left for school.

Saying goodbye to Sang and the local officials with many worries. Time is running out until the school year starts, hoping that there will be many organizations and individuals supporting Xuan Sang to confidently enter school and become a soldier to protect the sky of our beloved Fatherland.
