Hard work to make a living under the blazing sun

In the first two days of June, Hai Duong experienced the most intense heat wave since the beginning of the year. In that scorching weather, there were people who could not rest, even though they had to work outdoors under the sun.

Today, June 2, the Hai Duong area continues to experience hot weather with the highest temperature of the day around 37 - 38 degrees Celsius. That is the temperature measured in the meteorological tent. From June 1 until now, the actual temperature measured on the road surface between 10am and 2pm has reached over 40 degrees Celsius. The air is stuffy, the road surface is burning, the sunlight is like fire pouring down on every roof and street.

In Thanh Binh ward (Hai Duong city), a group of workers working at the construction site of Mr. Bui Huy Kheo (from Ninh Giang district) had to stretch additional insulation nets and use industrial fans to dispel the heat.

Many people have equipped themselves with air-conditioned shirts to withstand the scorching heat when working outdoors.

Porters at Hoi Do market (Hai Duong city) still work at noon as soon as the goods arrive.

Inside the market, even though there is a roof, the heat is not much less than standing directly in the sun.

Transporting taro from Bac Giang to the market, trader Nguyen Huu Long said: "No matter how hot it is, we must ensure delivery time. If we are just one day late, we can lose our orders."

In the midday sun, some workers found a temporary shelter from the heat under the porch. The cool brick surface became a valuable resting place in the harsh weather.

Even though they work in a factory, the heat-absorbing metal roof makes every movement of the workers more difficult than usual.

These days, farmers in Thanh Ha district are entering the early lychee harvest season. To avoid the scorching sun during the day, many families harvest lychees at night under lamps.

Having to work in blazing weather, many people could not hide their tired eyes when sweat fell without drying.

However, every break they smiled kindly, even though their backs were soaked with sweat and the sun was shining brightly above their heads. For them, every day of work was a day of living fully.
