The 'weird' man in Thanh Chuong
(Baonghean.vn) - For the past 5 years, in a poor rural area of Thanh Tien commune, Thanh Chuong district, there has been a man quietly looking for young royal poinciana trees to plant. Some people said he was strange, others said he was “clearly a prisoner of war…” But he just smiled and said: “Every day to live is a happy day. Why not show gratitude to life by doing meaningful things?”
That man is Mr. Nguyen Thien Thanh (born in 1968), residing in Hamlet 12, Thanh Tien Commune. The house is located next to National Highway 46 passing through the commune, spacious, airy and always filled with laughter. He and his wife opened a grocery store and a home electrical repair shop, the billboard printed with the two words "Chien Thanh" - the names of the couple; but what caught people's attention the most was the red banner across the front of the shop: "Living in life requires a heart..." Mr. Thanh said, the late musician Trinh Cong Son was right, a kind and virtuous heart is necessary, but not to expect recognition from others, not to expect gratitude and not to show off or adorn oneself, but "to let the wind carry it away..." Living like that is serene and peaceful!
