For a whole week, Khanh Hoa has been submerged in floods. Familiar roads have turned into rivers. The water has risen, sweeping away many properties and disrupting the lives of many people. But amidst the vast sea of water, I not only saw the loss, but also recognized a quiet strength - that is human love, the will to "do everything for the people".
Difficulties make love stronger
In recent days, the sacred meaning of the two words “compatriots” has been deeply felt. Each sleepless night, armed forces have crossed floods to bring people to safety. Shipments of supplies have crossed deep waters to isolated residential areas, soldiers have sheltered a woman who just gave birth from the rain and wind, images that have warmed many hearts.
Hundreds of canoes from tourism agencies were mobilized to transport people and goods. Groups of people were evacuated from deeply flooded areas in Tay Nha Trang ward, Dien Khanh commune, Dien Dien commune... Everyone was tired, but their eyes still shone with relief.
And then, free meals from the Traffic Police Department were promptly delivered to drivers stuck on Highway 1. From big to small matters, humanity is seen spreading everywhere.
In times of difficulty, human love becomes clearer.
Resolute direction, timely action
“Don’t let people go hungry or thirsty!” – the brief and decisive instruction of Provincial Party Secretary Nghiem Xuan Thanh during his inspection of the flooded area on the morning of November 21st is the spirit that pervades the entire response work. He and leaders of departments and branches were present at the scene, directly directing and handing over the first relief package to the people.
Immediately after that, a series of zero-dong kitchens were set up everywhere: Quan Am Pagoda, Son Ca Kindergarten, Vanh Khuyen Kindergarten, Tran Phu Secondary School... to people's homes. 170 porridge portions, 400 lunch portions, 1,650 dinner portions, drinking water... were given away every day. Those numbers are no longer figures, dry numbers, but a concrete expression of the spirit of "the rich help the torn", of compassion in times of trouble.
A hot meal in the flood is not only food but also humanity and strength to help people in flooded areas stand up.
Political system consensus, people consensus
On the afternoon of November 21, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Phong chaired an urgent meeting, directing urgent measures: setting up forward posts, providing necessities, restoring electricity and water, handling the environment and ensuring financial resources...
The overall picture of the damage was reported at the meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee: nearly 15,000 households were flooded, 126 landslides occurred, thousands of hectares of crops, aquatic products, livestock... were damaged; estimated at thousands of billions of VND. In times of difficulty, actions are more drastic.
The central and local governments have promptly shared the burden: the Government has supported 50 billion VND, provided 2,000 tons of rice; the Prime Minister is considering supporting an additional 200 billion VND. The Provincial People's Committee has urgently spent 112 billion VND. Enterprises, organizations, and individuals everywhere have also joined hands to contribute. A series of specific and practical policies have been implemented by the Provincial Party Secretary Nghiem Xuan Thanh: 60 million VND for completely collapsed houses, 30 million VND for severely damaged houses, support based on population, students... all with the highest goal: quickly helping people rebuild their lives.
Steadfast after challenges
The water will recede, the roads will dry, and the houses will be cleaned. But what remains is the love between the army and the people, the deep sense of compatriotism, and the spirit of solidarity and unanimity from the government to the people.
Through this article, I just want to send my gratitude and reassurance to friends near and far: Khanh Hoa is standing strong. The people here are still resilient, united, and affectionate – like the blue sea, white sand, and golden sunshine inherent in this land.
I love you so much, Khanh Hoa!
And I believe very much. Believe that after the rain, the sky will clear up. Khanh Hoa will return to peace – and be more beautiful than ever.
