(Baonghean.vn) - In the small hamlet of Truong Thinh in Thinh Thanh commune (Yen Thanh), there are two people who are both over 70 years old, but almost since birth they have been 'faithful' to dug well water.and say "no" to all other types of water.
 |
She is Bui Thi Thanh, 77 years old this year but still very alert and healthy. She said that compared to people of the same age, her eyesight is still the sharpest in the area, and she still eats 2-3 bowls of food per meal. |
 |
She has a habit that she has maintained since she was little, which is to only drink water from 'living wells' (plain water). If the water has been boiled, she only drinks it "reluctantly" because she feels that the water has a bland taste, not as sweet as when it is 'raw'. |
 |
Over the years, no matter how sick or ill she was, she said “no” to milk, soft drinks or other drinks. Ms. Thanh said that before, the family had a well, but because the well was deep and it was difficult to draw water, in 2000 her husband and she decided to drill a well. The location of this well is right next to the family’s dug well. Therefore, she “prefers” water from both the drilled well and the dug well equally. |
 |
Her husband, Mr. Hoang Van Hoan (born in 1940), "accepted" this strange habit of his wife. At first, he also wanted her to change this habit, but later, seeing that her health was still good, he had to "indulge" her. Every time he had to go far away, he had to fill a can with water and bring it to her to drink. |
 |
Another man who has the same habit as Mrs. Thanh is her brother-in-law - Mr. Hoang Van Trung (born in 1946). |
 |
Truong Thinh area is a mountainous hamlet of Yen Thanh district. When digging a well to get water, you have to dig more than 10 meters deep. Perhaps that is why the water source here is very cool, unpolluted and harmless to the body. |
