As the pillar of the family, Mr. Nguyen Dang Khuong (father of Martyr, Major Nguyen Dang Khai) seemed to have to suppress his pain to take care of the funeral of his deceased son. His eyes were red, the father who had just lost his son quietly stood by the door, his eyes seemed to be lifeless as he stared at the coffin, where his son had just left behind unfinished plans...
"Many reporters asked me about my situation, how I was doing, what should I say now...", without complaining or complaining, perhaps when his son entered the industry, becoming a drug detective, he understood and always supported his son's every ambition. Only when a leader of Quang Ninh province shared and encouraged him, did the father burst into tears, unable to hide the pain he had been holding back for so long.
Mr. Khuong and his wife are gentle and simple, their main job is farming, in addition, he has a job as a construction worker. The couple worked hard, saved up to send their 2 children to university and built a small 2-storey house. Joy after joy when Khai passed the People's Police Academy with the second highest score; a few years later, his younger sister also passed the university entrance exam. After graduating, Khai was assigned to work at the Dong Trieu City Police Department, Quang Ninh, which has been 6 years now. His younger sister just graduated a few months ago and is already working at a company. With their children having stable jobs, their parents thought it would be less difficult...
Working in Quang Ninh, about 100km from home, because of the special nature of the police force, especially in the Drug Crime Prevention Team, Khai did not have much time to visit home, his parents mainly met him through the phone screen. However, unexpectedly, the call late at night on April 17 that Mr. Khuong received was a call with bad news, from his son's teammates.
"So many unfinished plans... I often teased him when I was going to give you guys a party. Khai said he was still thinking about getting a Master's degree, and that he would ask you guys to take care of his marriage at the end of this year. How come after that late night call, we didn't have to worry about his wedding, but instead we had to worry about his funeral. Everything happened so suddenly, so heartbreaking...", Mr. Nguyen Dang Khan, Major Khai's uncle who lives next door, could not hide his pain.
Since childhood, Khai was obedient, studied hard, and was loved by everyone. Mrs. Vu Thi Pho, a neighbor of the family of Martyr, Major Nguyen Dang Khai, confided: "The family is a farmer, but both brothers are diligent and study very well. He passed the university entrance exam, became a police officer, and was the pride of the whole neighborhood. During his university years and after that, we never saw him bring any girlfriend home. Recently, we also heard that he had a girlfriend in Quang Ninh, and we were happy for him. His parents are farmers, and there is a piece of land next to the house. Mr. Khuong often said that when he got married, he would build a house or sell it, and save money for him to buy a house to settle down in Quang Ninh. Who would have thought it would turn out like this...".
Major Nguyen Dang Khai passed away unexpectedly at a very young age, fatally shot by drug trafficker Bui Dinh Khanh right after he had arrested two other members of the ring. His passing was a great loss to his family and his comrades.
" Peace is here, why is the blood of my comrades still falling?", "How heartbreaking, just yesterday afternoon, in the same hallway, we were still laughing together, why have you gone so far? Rest in peace, we will continue writing about the journey...", "I miss you...". The tearful confessions of the comrades who still fought side by side with Khai day and night, there are still so many words that cannot be said. Now, the mission is completed, but "The promise to go and return together with my brothers is not fulfilled...".
Major Nguyen Dang Khai, who used to work at Dong Trieu City Police, was transferred to the Drug Crime Investigation Department (Quang Ninh Provincial Police) just over a month after the district police were dissolved. This was also the first major project he participated in when he was in the new unit.
The case will end. The perpetrator will have to pay for his crimes. However, that hero cannot return. The Fatherland will always remember him, the people will always remember his name, Martyr, Major Nguyen Dang Khai. He will always be an example of "Brave Youth" in the hearts of his comrades, a filial son and nephew of his family, as his uncle, Mr. Nguyen Dang Khan said: "Today, many delegations of leaders of agencies, units, departments, and organizations from the Central to the local level came to pay their respects and see him off. Many people who did not know him, only heard about him, also came here, to burn incense next to his coffin. I know, he lived a beautiful life. He will always be the pride of his family, his homeland, and his comrades".
