Originally an ordinary motorbike repairman, Mr. Tran Hoang Phuc (28 years old, Phuong Binh commune, Can Tho city) has an extraordinary gesture. For more than a year, after 5pm every day, when his main job at the dealership ended, he began his motorbike rescue journey.
Mr. Phuc shared that the idea of this model came to him by chance. Once, he caught an elderly man driving a motorized car for more than 5km at night to find a place to fix it. He did not hesitate to help and refused to accept the salary. This man thanked him very much for his help late at night.
After that day, he wondered why he didn't find a way to help more people like that. And then, he decided to use his skills to help people. Not for profit, not for real calculations, but he just wants to spread kindness.
His old motorbike was attached a simple sign with the words "Zero-dong parking savings". His phone number was widely shared on social networks, becoming a "hotline" for those in need.
From poor students, late shift workers, to night buses or the elderly, all have found help from this passionate bus repairman.
Everyone has their own circumstances. Sometimes just a little help patching the car, filling up gas, or picking up the bottle, can help them escape the misery in the middle of the road, Mr. Phuc confided.
Every day, Mr. Phuc travels all over the streets of the area, bringing a list of professional items. He put his own bag money to pay for gas and spare parts. He has never called for support, because he believes that when working from a sincere heart, it will be more meaningful and complete.
Mr. Phuc said that in this journey, there were times when he also had to face risks. Occasionally, vehicles stalled in the middle of the field on rainy nights, or were misunderstood as thieves when approaching passersby. However, he always maintains the belief that his heart is pure and he is not afraid of anything.
The story of Mr. Phuc has spread to many people in the area. Ms. Anh Thu (Can Tho City), a person who was helped by him, shared that one time she was late for work but her car was damaged in the middle of the road, she called his phone number in the hope of help.
"I was quite surprised because just a moment later, Mr. Phuc was there and repaired my car to help me go home safely, and also did not receive any remuneration. That is why I always remember that memory and am grateful for his help, Ms. Anh Thu expressed.
Over the past year, Mr. Phuc has supported more than 400 cases, and his journey is still continuing. Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Rang (Mr. Phuc's mother) said that at first she was worried about his job, but seeing her child happy to help people, she also supported him.
Mr. Phuc always tries every day to live a good life and spread kindness to everyone, through small actions from his skills.
