Father and son in Hung Yen quietly fill potholes, bringing safety to road users

Hung Yen - Without waiting for anyone to ask for help, Mr. Quan and his son (Khoi Chau commune) quietly filled the potholes to make people travel more safely.

One afternoon in early July, on the road in Khoi Chau commune (Hung Yen province), many passersby were surprised and moved when they saw a man and his young son gathering to dig up soil, pour rocks, and fill each pot of chicken and elephant. Without reflective vests or butterfly flags with the words "construction", the father and son still quietly do the work that does not belong to them but is close to the community.

That is Mr. Do Huu Quan, a resident of Khoai Chau commune. The 3km long road that he and his son are repairing is where local people still travel every day, but the road surface has seriously degraded.

Deep potholes and bumpy road surfaces become a nightmare every time it rains or goes down at night. Mr. Quan shared that his relative had fallen off a motorbike on this road, so when he couldn't find anyone to fix it, he decided to do it himself.

Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Quan said: "This road is dense with potholes, people have difficulty going during the day, and it is very dangerous at night. My family also had someone who had fallen, so I thought - just do whatever I could. I prepared the soil and rocks, and the weather was cool so the father and son patched each section together.

When asked if he felt uncomfortable when he left work and worked without a name, he just laughed: "I finished, standing and watching the people passing through that section and choke the car, I was happy. No one forces me to do it, but if everyone is negligent and waits for others, how long will I know?".

The boy accompanying him was his son in grade 7. Not only a strange experience, this work is also a vivid lesson about the responsibility of the community that the father wants to teach his children through his own actions.

Although it was just a small act, the work of Mr. Quan and his son became valuable. Not only does it help reduce the danger of the road, it also conveys a beautiful message of proactiveness, responsible living and quiet kindness in real life.

When the story was shared on social networks, many people expressed their admiration. A local resident wrote: "Good people don't need to say much. Doing a good thing, people will always remember it.
