The two children's uncle, Vi Van Thinh (born in 1972), lives next door. The two children often come over to eat with the family. Mr. Thinh's family is also very poor. He lost a hand. His three daughters are all married. He, his wife and his grandchild live in a solidarity house of about 30 square meters.2, worth 30 million VND. Despite poverty, Mr. Thinh and his wife did not abandon their younger brother's two grandchildren, taking care of their food and education. Currently, Thuan is in 6th grade and Anh is in 2nd grade.

Every afternoon, the two children often stand in front of the dilapidated, rickety door, looking out at the road in the distance, waiting for familiar figures. Vi Van Thuan said: "My biggest wish right now is for my father, mother and brother to return, for the whole family to reunite...". Photo: Cong Kien |
