Late afternoon, when arriving at the village entrance of Hamlet 3, Trung Thanh commune, one could feel the sorrowful atmosphere, the sound of drums and gongs was mournful. Of the 5 students who drowned, late afternoon of the same day, Nguyen Thi Giang, born in 2005, an 8th grade student at Trung Thanh Commune Secondary School, was escorted to her final resting place by her family and relatives.

My desk and books are neatly arranged, everything is still intact as if I had just sat at my desk this morning with so much joy...

Yet, in just a moment, a split second, so many unfinished dreams and ambitions, so many hopes of the family, of the school... all ended in that fateful afternoon. My father and mother cried, unable to believe that their beloved daughter was no longer with them.

Mr. Nguyen Dai Thuong, Giang's uncle, confided: Giang's family has 5 children, Giang is the third child. Giang is very studious and studious, his family is near-poor, so in his free time he often helps his parents with housework and farming. Today, at the year-end party with his friends, his family agreed to let him go out with his friends, but unexpectedly, this was his last time going out.

Phan Thi Thuong, an 8B student at Trung Thanh Secondary School, tearfully said: Although we were not in the same class, Giang was in the same neighborhood and went to school together for several years. Giang was gentle and very affectionate with her friends. Giang confided that she would study medicine in the future to save people. So from now on, I have lost a friend whom I loved very much.

Also next to Giang's alley is the house of Tran Long Nhat. Nhat's family is poor, his father went to the South to work as a hired hand, his mother stayed home all year round to farm. His body was brought home and we had to wait for his father to come back from the South to see him one last time before we could say goodbye.

Nhat's mother struggled beside her son's body: "Nhat! Can you hear me calling? I beg you, please open your eyes and look at me!"

In the same commune, Cao Thi Nuong's family is also very pitiful. Her mother went to Malaysia, and after a few days back, she went to Taiwan to work to earn money to support her life and raise her children. Who would have thought that this heartbreaking incident would happen at her daughter's house.

According to the people in Trung Thanh, the 5 students who died in Trung Thanh commune were all good and studious, and their families were all poor. Most of their parents had to work far away to support their children's education. But when they heard that their children had drowned, they all did not believe it was true!!!
