Specifically, at around 11am on September 20, a group of students including Nguyen Van The Anh, Hoang Van Kien, Pham Manh Khoi and Tran Doan Anh Duc were passing through a section of road in Block 1, Tan Ky town that was deeply flooded, with strong currents, posing a danger to passing vehicles.

Witnessing this, for 2 hours, 4 students braved the rain to help many people and vehicles pass through the flooded area.

Pham Manh Khoi said that at that time, seeing an adult riding a motorbike being swept away by the water and falling into a sewer, the students ran to help, bringing the person and the motorbike to safety.

This afternoon (September 22), speaking with VietNamNet , Mr. Le Khac Thuc - Principal of Tan Ky High School (Nghe An) said that the school recognized the actions of 4 students helping others on a day of heavy rain and flooded roads.

Faced with the above action that touched and respected many people, Tan Ky High School posted information and expressed pride in the students.
