"How can I continue to live? Oh God. Why is it so miserable...", the choked cry of the young wife and mother.

The whole Bai Quan cemetery was filled with incense smoke.

"Life is too short, in just a moment it turns to dust. I feel sorry for the father and his three sons who have worked hard for many years to have a stable home. Now they have to leave everything behind and leave...", a resident who held incense for the three father and sons of Mr. Tr. said quietly.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dai, Head of Hamlet 5, Nam Thanh Commune, said that Mr. Tr. and his wife had 3 children, the first 2 died with their father. The youngest child was only born about 18 months ago.

Mr. Tr. and his wife, Ms. Nh., have been subcontracting Rao Bang dam for fish farming for the past 2 years. Every day, Mr. Tr. hires a few people to row boats to the dam to catch fish. Although Mr. Tr. is the subcontractor for the dam, he cannot swim.

In addition to raising fish on the dam, Mr. Tr. and his wife also run a pig farm near their home. Everyone considers Mr. Tr. and his wife to be hard-working and have an increasingly stable life.

“Mr. Tr. was a hard-working man, working hard all year round, living a gentle and honest life. He was always the pioneer in charity campaigns, helping the poor, and community work. Everyone was saddened by his and his children’s sudden passing…”, Mr. Dai shared.
