| These days, the weather in the highlands of Nghe An is starting to get cold. However, on the Nam Non River, at the foot of the Nam Non hydroelectric dam in Xieng Huong village (Xa Luong commune - Tuong Duong), there are still some children diving to find scrap metal on the riverbed.

 |
| Scrap iron bars were sucked up from the bottom of the river. These were pieces of iron left over after the construction of the Nam Non hydropower plant was completed. |
 |
Along with that are small pieces of iron and steel, iron nails... that children find to sell. |
 |
| In reality, there have been many heartbreaking incidents due to drowning. It is thought that adults and local authorities in Tuong Duong need to warn children to avoid unfortunate incidents. |
