“At that time, the three of us were on our way to sea to fish when we saw a man raising his hand to call for help. The victim was still wearing a life jacket, his hand holding onto a large piece of wood. At that time, the victim was purple and exhausted but still conscious. We immediately approached the ship, brought the victim on board, changed his clothes and gave him food and drink, then contacted his family to connect with the authorities to bring him back to the mainland,” Mr. Vo shared.
