Lai Da village (Dong Hoi commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi) is located along the Duong River. From early morning on July 20th, the village square and cultural center were thoroughly cleaned in preparation for the farewell ceremony for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

Groups of people hurried in and out, each with their own task, though all shared a feeling of immeasurable sorrow.

Everything about General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong seems to remain abundant in that village – where he lived and grew up.

With the sun shining after the rain, the trees in the village temple's courtyard seemed greener, and the Bodhi and magnolia trees bearing the mark of the General Secretary took on a different hue.

"Regardless of his position, Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong was always very close to his neighbors and friends, respecting village customs. Every time he returned to his hometown, he would go to the communal house to light incense," Mr. Vuong Khac Con (81 years old, a classmate of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong) shared with Tuoi Tre Online - Photo: HONG QUANG
