"Truong Sa Village" on the last day of the year
(Baonghean.vn) - While peach blossoms are blooming, the streets are filled with red parallel sentences and fresh flowers, and social networking sites are filled with people and families racing to update information about returning home for Tet, many families of soldiers on Truong Sa island in Nghi Loc are still anxiously waiting for news about Tet from their children, husbands, and fathers on the faraway island.
I'm not coming home this Tet.
"I'm busy this Tet holiday and will miss the family reunion!"While busy cleaning the house to welcome the Year of the Pig, Mr. Nguyen Huu Thuong, residing in Hamlet 16, Phuc Tho Commune (Nghi Loc) suddenly received a message from his son Nguyen Huu Trung - currently working at the Fisheries Control Group, Ministry of National Defense. A look of sadness quickly crossed his face, Mr. Thuong continued his work, considering it a very normal thing every time Tet comes, spring comes.
“18 years working in Truong Sa, only 2 Tet holidays with family. The beginningMy husband and I were also very worried, but for the sake of our homeland's sea and islands, for the peace in the country's outpost, we took that as a consolation."He said, then added: In 2001, Trung - his son joined the army, and has been absent since then. More than 8 years since getting married, Mr. Thuong's family rarely has the opportunity to meet his daughter-in-law and grandchildren, because Trung's wife and children are all in his mother's hometown in Ba Ria, Vung Tau. As a fisheries inspector, he spends almost every year celebrating Tet floating far out at sea. This year, Trung also celebrates Tet at sea with his teammates when he has to be on duty for 45 days.
