Workers in the hot sun

    From the end of February to now, the outdoor temperature in Ho Chi Minh City has continuously maintained a harsh level, at times around 40 degrees Celsius. Under harsh weather, the asphalt road surface is evaporating, making everyone want to find a place to hide from the sun. However, behind those blurred "heat waves", construction workers, motorbike taxi drivers, sanitation workers and street vendors still have to fight to make a living.

    Dưới trời nắng gắt, ông Đình Tư (xã Bình Hưng) vừa quạt chiếc nón lá vừa chăm chú nhìn vườn cây cảnh. Vì thời tiết khắc nghiệt, ông phải ở lại vườn cả buổi trưa để tưới nước thường xuyên cho cây. Ông Tư chia sẻ: “Trưa nắng gắt không một tia gió, ngồi ngoài này ngột ngạt và mất nước nhiều lắm nhưng đành ráng chịu đựng“. Ảnh: Thái Bảo
    Under the scorching sun, Mr. Dinh Tu (Binh Hung commune) both fanned his conical hat and attentively looked at the ornamental garden. Because of the harsh weather, he had to stay in the garden all afternoon to regularly water the trees. Mr. Tu shared: "At noon, the sun is scorching hot without a gust of wind, sitting outside is suffocating and very dehydrated, but I have to endure it". Photo: Thai Bao
