Previously, on the afternoon of August 5, while swimming with his family at Hoi Tien beach (Dong Tien commune), Mr. Phan discovered two middle school students swept away by waves about 300m, struggling in deep water, calling for help.

Immediately, Mr. Phan swam out to rescue, quickly approached and separated the two children. One child was able to swim to shore by himself, while the other child was taken by Mr. Phan to a nearby fishing boat, ensuring the safety of both children.
