The father of a hundred students

Typhoon Bualoi paralyzed many streets in Hanoi, forcing nearly a hundred students from Le Quy Don Primary School to stay at school overnight. During that stormy night, Principal Ta Nhu Viet stayed awake to help with meals, ensure the children had enough to sleep, and play with them until noon the next day.

His simple yet touching actions led many to call him "the father of a hundred students."

Knowing that many students hadn't been able to return home yet, Mr. Viet quickly instructed the kitchen staff to prepare hot rice, sweet soup, milk, and cakes for them. Each simple meal was filled with warmth and love, helping the students feel less anxious and giving them the strength to wait for their parents.

That night, the teacher hardly slept. Some students cried because they missed their parents, and he gently comforted them: "Tonight, I and the other teachers are here, so you can rest assured." Teacher Viet and the other teachers stayed up until morning, both caring for the students and contacting them to update them on the situation of each student and their return home.
