Once a student
The 4-story row of rented rooms with 14 rooms in the Me Suot street area, Da Nang city these days is more bustling because of the story of the landlord giving Tet lucky money. The owner of this humane action is Ms. Lien Le, who actively visited each room to give 500,000 VND to the students. Sharing about the reason for the implementation, Ms. Lien said that she used to be a student far from home, so she understands the worries about living expenses, especially during the traditional Tet holiday. She hopes this small gift will bring great joy, helping them have more money to buy things or cover the car fare to return to their hometown.
The female landlady's kindness is not only limited to the lucky money at the end of the year but also expressed through the constant concern throughout the students' stay. At the time many new students enrolled in September last year, when the row of rooms was not yet completed, Ms. Lien proactively arranged for the children to stay temporarily for free at her family's hotel.
This timely support has helped many parents and students reduce their worries in the early days of arriving in Da Nang. Up to now, when the boarding house has become stable, she still maintains the habit of visiting and providing dedicated support.
The joy of freshmen
For first-year students like Ms. Nguyen Thi Huyen or Nguyen Thi Khanh Doan, this unexpected gift has great spiritual significance. Ms. Huyen shared that although she announced giving lucky money a month ago, when she received the money, the whole boarding room was moved. The amount of 500,000 VND helps students reduce economic pressure in the context of market prices often fluctuating and increasing at the end of the year. Many students plan to spend this amount of money to buy more Tet items or gifts to bring home to their families after their first semester of studying far from home.
According to the students, every month, Ms. Lien Le has people check the electricity and water system and directly support the replacement of oil and grease tanks in the kitchen area to ensure that the living space is always clean and safe. For students in the Central region far from home, this thoughtful attention has turned the row of rented rooms on Me Suot street into a warm second home.
