On May 13, at the gate of Le Loi Elementary School (Tam Long ward, Ho Chi Minh City), hundreds of students and teachers stood solemnly to see off the coffin of teacher Nguyen Van Tu - a teacher of the school who had just passed away due to a serious illness.
The image of many students wearing uniforms, holding white flowers in their hands, standing in a neat line in front of the school gate with teachers in ao dai clothes waiting to see off their respected teacher for the last time moved many people.
When the hearse passed, the driver actively slowed down and stopped for a moment in front of the school gate. At this time, the collective of teachers and students simultaneously waved their arms and flower branches to express their respect and gratitude to the teacher who has been attached to and contributed to the school's education career for many years. That moment also made some teachers and students choked with emotion.
Representatives of Le Loi Primary School said that teacher Nguyen Van Tu (49 years old) has been attached to the teaching profession for 28 years. In the process of working, he has always been loved by colleagues and students for his dedication, responsibility and wholeheartedly for students.
After a short time of detecting the disease, teacher Tu's health deteriorated rapidly. During the time he was being treated at the hospital, due to difficult family circumstances, the school and teachers called for donations and supported treatment costs.
Teacher Tu is a responsible teacher, living harmoniously and wholeheartedly with students, as well as always ready to support colleagues. His passing has caused many people to mourn," the school representative shared.
