At around 5:00 p.m. on February 1 (the 4th day of the Lunar New Year), a group of students from Nam Sach town (Nam Sach district, Hai Duong province) went out to play in the urban area west of Nam Sach town. Unfortunately, 1 female student and 2 male students fell into the lake.
At that time, Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang (born in 1975, self-employed) in Nguyen Van Troi area (Nam Sach town, Hai Duong province) was walking and discovered the children showing signs of drowning.
Immediately, Ms. Trang crossed the railing and jumped into the lake to save her children. Her husband and Mr. Nguyen Tri Dung (born in 1970 in La Van Cau area, Nam Sach town, Hai Duong province) brought the three children to shore safely.
Afterwards, the families of the three students came to thank Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang.
According to Ms. Trang, while walking around the lake in the urban area, she saw 3 students calling for help in the lake.
Seeing the three children, Mrs. Trang did not have time to take off her shoes, mask and coat but hurriedly crossed the railing and jumped into the lake to save them. Afterwards, Mrs. Trang's family posted an article on their personal page to warn parents not to let their children play near the lake to avoid drowning.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang said: "I was walking around the urban area when I saw three students fall into the lake. By reflex, I quickly rushed to save them. At that time, I didn't think much, I just tried my best to bring them to shore."
