In Go Cong Tay district, there is a very heartbreaking case that we came into contact with, the situation of NNCĐDC Nguyen Van Be, born in 1992, in Thanh Hiep hamlet, Thanh Tri commune, who has suffered from mental illness since childhood. His father went to work far away, only coming back to visit once every few years, his mother left home forever when she learned that her son was sick. He had to live with his elderly grandmother in a small, simple, old house, and the most difficult thing was when his grandmother passed away. Since then, Be has lived alone, working for hire to earn a living every day...".
