"How can I continue to live? Oh God. Why is it so hard…", the young wife and mother sobbed.

The whole Bai Quan cemetery was filled with incense smoke.

Mr. Tr.'s wife tried to get up from the arms of her relatives, reaching for the coffin of her husband and child to look at their faces one last time.

"Life is too short, in just a moment it turns to dust. I feel sorry for the father and his three sons who have worked hard for many years to have a stable home. Now they have to leave everything behind and leave...", a resident who held incense for the three father and sons of Mr. Tr. whispered.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dai, Head of Hamlet 5, Nam Thanh Commune, said that Mr. Tr. and his wife had 3 children, the first 2 died with their father. The youngest child was born about 18 months ago.

Mr. Tr. and his wife, Ms. Nh., have been subcontracting Rao Bang dam for fish farming for the past 2 years. Every day, Mr. Tr. hires a few people to row boats to the dam to catch fish. Although Mr. Tr. is the subcontractor for the dam for fish farming, he does not know how to swim.

In addition to raising fish on the dam, Mr. Tr. and his wife also run a pig farm near their home. Everyone considers Mr. Tr. and his wife to be hard-working and have an increasingly stable life.

“Mr. Tr. was a hard-working man, working hard all year round, living a gentle and honest life. In charity campaigns, helping the poor, and in community work, Mr. Tr. was always at the forefront. Everyone was saddened when he and his children suddenly passed away…”, Mr. Dai shared.
