Reporters from Thanh Hoa Newspaper and Radio - Television recorded the reality at a road formed from the consensus of land donation of Trieu Son people.

The typical simple

Without the need for spotlights or noble titles, the characters appearing in the column “Good People - Good Deeds” still quietly shine with sincerity and noble deeds. As true storytellers, Thanh Hoa Newspaper and Radio - Television have skillfully touched the brightest corners of people, arousing faith and inspiring beautiful living for the community.

Take Mr. Sung Van Cau, Head of Mua Xuan Village, Son Thuy Commune (Quan Son), for example. For nearly a decade, he has been regularly patrolling the border, protecting landmarks, protecting forests, protecting land, and more importantly, keeping the villagers living in peace. In addition, he has also encouraged people to apply new techniques, introduce hybrid rice varieties into the fields, develop more than 63 hectares of forest, contributing to raising the income of the people to nearly 29 million VND per year. In front of the television camera, he just smiled simply: "Only when the village is peaceful and the people are well-fed can I feel at ease."

Likewise, Mr. Le Van Toan, Deputy Secretary of the Chi Phuc Village Party Cell, Ha Son Commune (Ha Trung) is also a “lamplighter” in the countryside. From the idea of “smart village”, he has helped people learn how to use the Internet, make cashless payments, and keep electronic medical records. After the media reported on it, many other communes came to learn. As for him, he simply said: “Whatever is good for the people, I will do.”

Not only adults, but also young people continue this beautiful journey. Ngo Thi Thao, a student of class 11B2 at To Hien Thanh High School, found a wallet with 7 million VND and immediately returned it to its owner. Although the act was small, it is proof that the value of honesty is still preserved and passed on through each generation. The article about Thao is not only news, but also a reminder of the belief in life in each reader...

Behind each story of those ordinary people is the diligence, understanding and responsibility of journalists. Not everyone finds it easy to share their life stories, many people are afraid: "I do it because of my heart, I'm afraid to go to the newspaper, I'm afraid people will think I'm showing off". But with sincerity and patient listening, journalists have opened up trustworthy conversations, so that the beauty is not buried in silence, but spread as a proof that: As long as people still know how to love, society will never run out of hope.

Many reporters said that they were silent many times when recording the stories of silent heroes. Sometimes they had to cross mountain passes, wade through streams, and sleep in people's houses, waiting for the most authentic moment. And it is this silent sacrifice that has turned articles and news reports into sources of emotions, giving readers and viewers a stronger belief in the value of a beautiful life. More importantly, the press glorifies goodness not to fairytale life, but to let people see that beauty still exists, even though it is small and silent, and it can start from each of us. Each article, each film about good people is a "mirror", for others to say to themselves: "If they can do it, why can't I?" Because after all, kindness only needs one more hand to reach out, and it will turn into a belief strong enough to heal the cracks of life.

Flowers bloom in the community

An article, a radio news report or a documentary film about ordinary people who are dedicating their intelligence and strength every day to cultivating good values of life always has the power to spread throughout the community. Even from those simple stories, many good things have been sown and blossomed.

Journalism and the campaign of

Reporters from Thanh Hoa Newspaper and Radio - Television recorded the reality at a road formed from the consensus of land donation of Trieu Son people.

Nguyen Thi Viet, President of the Thanh Hoa City Association of Former Youth Volunteers, is a clear example. For many years, she has quietly campaigned to build houses and give gifts to members in need and victims of Agent Orange. But when the press joined in, more kind-hearted people came forward and helped extend the warm homes. She said: “The press has helped me find more companions.”

Ms. Hoang Thi Gam, a former youth volunteer in Coc Ha street, Dong Huong ward (Thanh Hoa city) had a husband who was infected with Agent Orange/dioxin and passed away a few years ago. Her 5 children were all exposed, 2 of whom have passed away, 2 of whom have been bedridden for many years, and 1 of whom has a disability and lives separately. Despite the difficulties, Ms. Gam still maintains an optimistic spirit to take care of her children, lives positively to convey the message to those who are more disadvantaged than her... The report about her that was broadcast touched the hearts of thousands of people, and many calls and small gifts were sent back, like a warm hug from the community.

In recent years, many volunteer groups, blood donation clubs, flood relief teams... have been born from just one article or report. More preciously, after these beautiful actions, journalists have more faith that genuine journalism is contributing to encouraging people to "choose a beautiful way of life" every day. And more than anyone else, journalists understand that for a beautiful story to spread, it requires the writer's emotions. And they themselves will be inspired to live beautifully from their encounters with real people and real events. Therefore, each article and each news item is not simply an information product, but also a spiritual gift wrapped in trust, gratitude and good wishes.

A good example of a good person and good deeds is more powerful than hundreds of empty slogans. Therefore, examples of good people and good deeds always have a place in the press. So that every day, when opening the newspaper, readers will learn about a beautiful story. And from each story, it will be like sparkling silk threads that weave a more humane and more affectionate community.
