Female union official once wanted to collapse under the burden of family

That is the unfortunate situation of Do Thi Quynh Giang, a female trade union official in Yen Bai .

In her article "The Embrace of the Trade Union," she expressed her deep concern about her situation: "Although I tried to appear strong to reassure my children, relatives, and friends, deep down, everything felt like it was falling apart for me."

"What will become of my children and me? I'm not afraid of what awaits me, but what about my children, especially my second child?… These are endless questions with no answers, or answers that I don't dare think about."

Despite the cruel twist of fate, Ms. Giang found solace in both her physical and emotional pain thanks to the timely encouragement and support of the trade union.

She knows that she always has the support of her dearest loved ones by her side: her siblings, friends, and especially the trade union organization with its union officials and colleagues.

The moving article by a female trade union official won first prize in the 4th "Trade Union Embrace" writing contest organized by the Labor and Trade Union Magazine.

At the awards ceremony for the 4th "Trade Union Embrace" writing contest and the "Creative Media Product on Drug Prevention" contest on the afternoon of December 27th, the Organizing Committee stated that the contest originated from touching stories about the care and concern shown by trade union officials and organizations for union members and workers in difficult circumstances.

Thanks to those warm embraces, many people have overcome challenges and risen in life with stability and resilience.

The award-winning works all possess their own unique beauty; each story is a snapshot of life, of the difficulties and the striving for success of working people.

The work "Forever in That Embrace" by author Do Thi Quynh Giang tells the story of a female trade union official in Yen Bai – who has always cared for and supported union members and workers in difficult circumstances, and now finds herself in a situation that seems impossibly difficult – and has received immense support from trade union officials and the community as a whole.

In addition, the Organizing Committee awarded 2 second prizes, 3 third prizes, 5 consolation prizes, and 3 special prizes. The winning works all demonstrated creativity, genuine emotion, and a profound humanistic imprint, clearly depicting the role and contributions of the Trade Union organization in the lives of workers.

According to Ngo Duy Hieu, Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor , the case of the female trade union official in Yen Bai is not just a personal story, but a story of character and consideration for others.

Mr. Hieu observed that throughout the entire awards ceremony, Ms. Giang was speechless, only crying. He hoped that Ms. Giang and her family would overcome their difficulties. Because it is love and affection that are very important in helping people overcome hardships.

Regarding the "Creative Media Products on Drug Prevention" competition, the Organizing Committee awarded prizes to individuals and groups. For individual awards, the Organizing Committee presented 1 First Prize, 2 Second Prizes, 3 Third Prizes, and 15 Consolation Prizes.
