In the days leading up to the 2026 Lunar New Year, amidst the festive atmosphere of welcoming the new spring, many organizations and businesses in the province have been providing support for transportation by bus and train to help officials, workers, and citizens return home to reunite with their families. From the mainland to the islands, these compassionate journeys not only help people return home safely and conveniently for Tet but also deeply spread the spirit of sharing, social responsibility, and practical concern of the locality and businesses for workers and the community.

Khe Sim Company arranged 18 buses to take nearly 400 workers from Bac Kan, Cao Bang , Tuyen Quang, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, etc., back to their hometowns for Tet (Lunar New Year) and organized transportation back to the company after the holiday.

In the early morning light, laughter and conversation mingled with firm handshakes and heartfelt New Year's greetings exchanged between unit leaders and workers before the workers boarded buses to return home to reunite with their families. On these "Reunion Buses for a Happy New Year," the luggage consisted of bags of gifts and supplies prepared for the holiday, along with joy, peace of mind, and a sense of shared joy as spring arrived.
