When Tet comes, everyone wants to return home to their families and gather around a warm meal. But for the workers at the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang Expressway construction site, this spring is a Tet away from home.
Sticking to the construction site during Tet
During the recent Lunar New Year holiday of At Ty 2025, when every family was busy preparing for Tet, the working atmosphere at the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway construction site was still bustling. Hundreds of workers and engineers put aside their joy of reunion and stayed at the construction site to ensure the progress of the project. For them, this road is not only a project, but also a responsibility, a passion and a hope for a future development for the land at the head of the Fatherland.
During the past 9 days of Tet holiday, machinery and workers at the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang expressway construction site never stopped, the sounds of excavators, rollers, and trucks still echoed throughout the construction sites. Workers in protective suits covered in mud, still persevered in construction despite the harsh weather. All shared the same determination to "complete the project on schedule, helping people travel more conveniently".
The sound of machinery still resounded throughout the recent Lunar New Year holiday throughout the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang highway construction site.
For many workers, this is not the first Tet they are away from their families. Mr. Tran Van Thuan, Head of the Testing Department of Deo Ca Group, in charge of Package 24 in Ham Yen District (Tuyen Quang), sadly shared: "I have two children, the older one is 7 years old, the younger one is 3. This Tet I cannot go home, I can only call home to see my children through the phone screen. My children keep asking when their father will come back, I feel so sorry for them. But I have to accept it, the project needs me, so I have to try."
Mr. Nguyen Viet Dat, another worker at Deo Ca Group, said: "Tet or not, progress is still the most important. Here, everyone understands their responsibilities. If everyone tries a little, the project will be completed soon, helping people travel more conveniently.
Moreover, although we are far from home, we workers are very affectionate, and the New Year's Eve meals are also held right at the construction site. The meals are not as full as at home, but there are still banh chung, pickled onions, and words of encouragement to each other to try hard.

Many other workers shared the same sentiments. They missed home, missed the Tet meal, missed the family atmosphere with their parents, wives and children. But because of work and responsibility, they chose to stay to contribute to an important project.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tinh, a construction worker at Package 04, the section through Bac Quang district (Ha Giang), shared: "It has been three years since I celebrated Tet away from home. My wife and children in the countryside are also sad, but I am used to it. Right after the Tet holiday, the workers immediately returned to the construction site, ready for the task of completing the highway in 2025.
We, the workers, are also very happy because during the Tet holidays, Chairman of Ha Giang Province Phan Huy Ngoc visited, encouraged and gave us Tet gifts.
